We were disappointed the snack bar wasn't open but enjoyed watching the skaters!!! All the employees were pleasant and professional. The music could have been a little better.

The kind of spot that feels like generations of birthdays, linkups, and random Friday nights have happened under the same roof. Nothing too polished. Nothing trying too hard. Just a solid rink doing what it came to do. The concession stand understood the assignment. The Icees hit exactly the way rink Icees are supposed to hit. Cold. Sugary. Slightly dangerous if you drink it too fast. The chicken tenders were good too. Crispy enough. Salty enough. No fake gourmet remix. Just classic snack bar food that actually satisfies when you need a break from skating and people-watching. Staff was amazing. Friendly from the jump. Easy to deal with. Kept the place moving without making it feel stiff. That kind of energy matters in a rink because one weird employee can throw off the whole night. Not the case here. The bathroom was clean, which already deserves applause in any skating rink conversation. The floor was decent too. Enough room to move. Enough space to breathe. The whole place felt functional in the way a classic spot should. it's giving... ATL legend with a concession stand co-sign.

I can't begin to describe the fun time I had at this skating rink!…read more I am an 80's baby and recall being dropped off on the weekend at the skating rink as a child! The good old days for sure !! I said this to say that I have always enjoyed skating! Am I a pro- nope - but I still know how to have a good time on the rink! I arrived at the rink 30 minutes prior to them closing for an hour. On Sunday they allow all ages to skate until 6pm. They close and re- open for adult night at 7pm. The price does go up. It costs $15 per person to skate plus the cost to rent skates if you do not own a pair is $6! Now some may say this is expensive . However, if you look at how much you pay for let's say a yoga class - it's comparable. . I say that because you can and will burn calories if you are actually skating! Just look at it like a fun fitness class ! The vibe for the night started off with old school songs being played! When I say old school- I mean songs I did not know! However, as the night progressed the DJ started playing songs I knew. Still not current, but at least songs I know. There appears to be a strategy to the rink. If you know what you are doing you can be in the outside of tink. If you are new to this and may not be a comfortable skater you need to be inside the pink lines. Then the inner circle appears to be for those that are dancing on skates. This is just my observation and I could be completely wrong! All of the patrons were friendly and it felt like a no judgement zone! Everyone was just having a good time! I think we left around 9:30pm and the place was packed!! I did note that they have a bar inside and a small arcade area. This spot would make for a good date night ! I will say that it is giving old school as it relates to the look on this inside ! However, that's what I loved about it! It felt like I was a teenager again! Highly recommend checking out this rink! -- guaranteed good times!

Solid skating rink experience they have here. It's not luxurious by any means, and doesn't carry…read morethe touristy notoriety of places like Cascade's (which I honestly like). But Sparkles is legendary in its own right. The crowd is generally very mixed, although they have different events/times tailored to different ages. Entry/rental prices vary based on the day. Check their website for their monthly calendar. The DJ appeals to all ages during the public skate and makes sure to censor the music for the kiddies. I've been here on different nights and experienced different DJs; be mindful that some are better than others LOL. If you come during the week you'll see all levels of skating (and roller blading). It's perfectly fine being a novice here, but I'd recommend avoiding the adult nights until you're very ready as the OG skaters definitely take over the building haha. A waiver is required to enter but the process is pretty easy. I really appreciate the clean bathrooms because that is not always promised at this type of venue. There were only a few trouble spots/small litter on the rink floor but they were barely noticeable. Again, for a skating rink.... Surprisingly clean! They keep up with the place really well. You'll actually see the staff cleaning and keeping things together throughout your session. Hell, even the parking lot is clean (as well as large and very well lit at night). Some of the staff could be friendlier, but I won't knock them too much for it. The patrons are really friendly and the energy is always good. And there's ample seating. Can't speak to the bar, concession stand, the play area, or the arcade since I only come here to skate. But this place is fully loaded and great for all ages.

Both Melina and Baby have been incredibly helpful and kind, but everyone else I've met there has also been very friendly. They took the time to make sure my needs were met regarding skate selection.

Often times their prices also match what you can find online, which feels like a rarity for brick and mortar stores these days. If you're looking to get fitted for skates or just support a local business, I would highly recommend.

My ticket which included skating and rentals cost about $21 and I was there from 7- 8:30pm. It was a very peaceful and fun experience. There were experienced skaters and inexperienced skaters, which the staff were on the ice accounting for. There were about 30 minutes where it got busy, but otherwise, there was plenty of space to skate the rink without bumping into people.

They open at 2 and we were there at 2:06 and there was already a line outside to get in. There were 3 birthday parties, and even with that, there was never a feeling of congestion or overcrowding. The rink is beautiful. White floor, disco lights, disco ball, great carpet condition. Tables and benches available for seating. Dj takes requests. Guided push pipes for beginners. We had a great time! $5 Icee They have snacks and food for purchase. We were fortunate to have been gifted passes and we own our own blades.
