You're not going to get a 5 star dinner here. The music is very family friendly, as well as the staff. One older woman walked around with my 11 year old stepdaughter the length of the rink her first time on skates. There's a wide selection of snack choices, from pickles to pizza, candy and soda. There's plenty of arcade games as well that dispense tickets the kids can exchange for prizes, but it's a huge waste of money in my eyes. (Ex: a plastic basketball is 200 tickets) I, as well as my family. will definitely be back.

Went to Skate America in Grove City and don't ever plan on going back. Their parking lot is small,…read moregravel, and has many holes. This is a very small facility; I've never seen a smaller roller rink. There should have been a cap of how many people allowed in, because it made skating and just moving around inside so difficult. Everything looks at least 30-40 years old here, our booth was wobbly and unstable. The carpet was old and stained. It was very challenging to move around on the carpeted areas, but also the rink, due to the extreme number of people in the building. I felt like I was in a packed bar or club. I can't overstate that there were way too many people and children. The rink itself is painted concrete, which I've never seen before. It is somewhat uneven, you can feel the small rises and falls in the concrete, but it's not too severe. There were A LOT of children with the little PVC skate-aid things, but skating as an adult was made extremely challenging & nearly impossible because of this. The music they played was fun, and there was some interactions from the DJ, like a backwards skate only, and "all girls only skate," and then "all boys only skate," for a song each. I did like that there are ceiling fans over the rink, to cool you down. The ceiling felt really low, which I think made the whole place feel even smaller. The bathrooms were pretty clean and well stocked, but I didn't like that there were no hooks on the bathroom stall doors. They did let me bring my water bottle in, which I appreciated. There were lockers, but we didn't rent one. Overall, this place is probably fine if you're a kid, but terrible if your an adult skater looking to skate. Go to United Skates or America on Refugee instead!!

The locker rooms are also fairly kept up with and you can always see someone cleaning up to ensure it's nice and tidy.

But this wasn't my main issue of course it play a big part but the issue was the lady working was probably one of the rudest people I have ever met just because of her alone I will never recommend anyone to go to this place or to ever spend another dime there again. There was zero reason for her to be so rude and disrespectful when all we was trying to figure out was what happen and why her party wasn't when it was confirmed to be at.

The rink is suitable only for experienced skaters as they do not provide skating aids of any kind. We brought our kids, who are still learning. It wasn't worth anything. Another issue was that the rink surface had about 2 inches of water(on Dec 29th 2024),this made skating even more challenging and unsafe for novices. On a positive note, their staff were very helpful and attentive.
