Our most recent experience was on a Friday night for their family deal: $12 per person includes entry, skate rental, a slice of pizza, soda and a cookie! A banging deal! The pizza is fresh and who doesn't like a chocolate chip cookie. Our kids had a blast. Lots of tumbles but they got right back up and kept skating. Also, as it turns out, roller skating is tough! Event for adults. They also offer roller blades if that's your cup of tea. I know they also take party reservations - something we've done with neighbor friends in the past during December as sort of a fun family Christmas gathering indoors when it's cold outside. It was awesome!

We had the best time today - the kids and adults! Staff was super friendly and fun. Pizza was…read morereally good. I thought it was a great place for skaters of all levels. They have a bounce house in the middle of the rink, which my 4 year old was obsessed with. It was nice to be able to skate and keep an eye on the young ones.

Nice barn for a tourney…read more 2 sheets here, both with ample seating and great acoustics, so that you can yell to your hearts delight and get the attention of your favorite player. Concession stand was fairly priced. Parking was great, but we were here during the January 2024 snow storm, so challenging to keep lanes straight. A few issues: Locker rooms are downstairs and only accessible via stairwell. This was challenging for the boys to get through. There's an elevator labeled for those with accessibility needs only. The entrance has no automatic doors, so challenging to work through traffic there as well. Don't know if it was the weather or just the preference, but the rinks were unusually cold. Many parents opted to stand in the back. (That was probably also for social reasons) Lastly, the lobby could use more seating. I did like the seats by the glass, which gave a nice view of the ice.

I'm at Southside Ice Arena right now. It's 7am on a Sunday and we are in the middle of a squirt…read moretournament. All tournament games prior to this semi final game were at a different rink in the city. This place is FILTHY!!!! The doors were locked and 4 teams of children had to wait at the locked doors for close to a half an hour. So did their parents. We walked in and there is garbage under tables and chairs in the lobby, the rugged areas have popcorn and garbage all over them. The stands have, you guessed it, garbage everywhere.One of the sheets of ice has no paint! And there is a squirt team scheduled to play on it right now. The locker rooms are filthy and full of garbage. The other sheet of ice is tore up- it needs to be zambonied twice. And the concession stand is dark with the cage pulled down. Mind you, there are 4 teams of parents and it is 7am- where's the coffee?! The last time we were here, the rink we were scheduled to play on broke the night before and there was a thick layer of water on the ice. The rink put our kids on to play, hours after they knew it was broke. It was dangerous. The game was aborted but it never should have begun. I'd like to give zero stars! This is easily the worst run rink in the city limits.

If you're looking for winter fun, the search is over. Come luge in Muskegon! What's that? Think…read moresledding on a frozen water slide. No idea how to luge? Don't worry: with a little lesson from the staff and a few runs on the track, you'll be a pro in no time. Don't have the need for speed? The park also has options for XC skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, and hockey. The website updates patrons with what's open/closed daily, so make sure you know before you go. Muskegon Luge is a West Michigan gem, and I look forward to returning and bringing folx to experience the fun for themselves.

Super bummed that they are moving the team to the new event center that is going to be built in downtown Kzoo. If you haven't made it to a game at Lawson, I definitely recommend it before the team moves. Tickets are fairly cheap. I believe we paid $22 and were in the bleachers behind the net, 4th row. WMU is a consistently ranked team in the top 25 nationally. They are so entertaining to watch! You can even buy beer and alcohol at the games now! As for parking, the best spot to park is across the bridge by miller auditorium and walk over. It's free on the weekends.

We arrived at 12:15 and size selection was already somewhat limited so I certainly recommend arriving at noon. Price wise this place is less than half of he cost of other area options, so it was busy. However we paid and got skates quickly and we were off. For little ones needing some help they have some walker style push things to use. It was the first time for both my kids and they a actually did better just holding my hand. Half way through they clear the ice to run the Zamboni, only took about ten minutes and they skating was back on. It was busy but there was as still plenty of room to navigate and the kids had a great time. I'm sure we'll be back :)

My friend and I were really uncomfortable being we were the only African Americans in there. The music wasn't very diverse at all. It wasn't very comforting or welcoming to the spot. The ring had many bumps being that it is wooden. There was a lot of supervision that was good but other than that it wasn't the best and I'm my honest opinion I would go to Roller World instead.

This place took me straight back to my childhood! I used to LOVE roller skating parties!…read more I visited recently as a chaperone on my nephew's party for school. It was the first time I've been to a roller skating rink in forever! Immediate nostalgia. The skates are still the same, the smell is still the same. I love that the DJ still does the Hokey Pokey for the kids, and does the dead bug game. It was my nephew's first time skating, and he had a lot of fun skating with his friends. Being boys, they also had a lot of fun playing the basketball game set up in the corner, and some of the other games. They were very into winning tickets to pick prizes. Definitely bring some quarters if you know you (or your kiddos) will want to play the games. I found it easy to find, and there is a very large parking lot. It would be a lot of fun to have a party here, especially with a group of kids. It was a really great time!
