It was to limit the interaction and not have to be in a small space. When you make a reservation, they'll have your skates ready for you. They are enforcing masks very well, which made us very comfortable. The zamboni cleans about every hour so everyone gets a chance to skate on slippery smooth ice. A nice activity for the family and places to eat are all around.

I hadn't been ice skating in years so because I knew about this location not far from my home, the…read morefam and I decided to go. I came to Yelp for deets and was led to the establishment's website by a previous reviewer. Because of the Pandemic, you have to order your tickets online. It was a very quick and convenient process & the skates were picked out & ready when we arrived. Be prepared with shoe sizes during the reservation. It appears that the ice skates are cut small, (or perhaps our socks were too thick), either way, I recommend asking for a size up because a few of our skates didn't fit & had to be exchanged. Thankfully, the staff members were very helpful. We went on a Thurs night and it was a decent sized crowd but not overwhelming. Parking is free. It's a nice, smaller rink, decorated with lights and plenty of seating for spectators. Everyone was wearing masks and hand sanitizer was available. They also have double bladed skates & penguin ice sliders available to assist the smaller children w/ their ice skating. (Some of the adults needed them too lol.) You are given a coupon for a $2 hot chocolate at the Thai restaurant near by with your purchase. This outdoor ice rink offers an affordable, safe and fun activity to do with the fam during the Pandemic. I enjoyed it and I think you will too. Check them out!

Came here on the whim because someone posted an event on Yelp for the Nutcracker on Ice! It was the…read morecutest performance I have ever seen. Amateur skaters, as well as skaters whom have competed at National, Sectionals and International events. The show consisted skaters of all ages performing for the crowd at a resonable price of $15/per person. All proceeds go back to the rink for upkeep and providing a space for skaters to practice and perfect their skills. Keep a look out, the Columbia Ice Rink is putting on another performance in March called "Disney Gagnam Style". A show full of Disney characters and princesses on Ice for the entire community to enjoy! I hope you stumble upon this place because it offers a place for indidicuals to be inspired, learn how to skate and encourage a safe and supportive atmosphere. I will most definitely be back in March, just to amuse the inner child in me :)

Hyperkids has recently been redone and looks great. A lot of the previous comments about…read morecleanliness were not that bad. While I didn't notice any active cleaning while I was there, it didn't feel gross and I didn't find anything questionable. My kids had a ton of fun and loved everything available inside. My kids are on the younger side. If you have older kids there are certain areas zoned off for younger ages. If I had older kids I might be annoyed that 1/3 of the place was not for them. I also noticed that I lost my kid most of the time. The play space is great and offers a lot, but it is really hard to keep track of your kid once they go in the big jungle gym. I also tried to follow them and it is not created for an adult size to fit.

I recently attended a birthday party at Hyper Kidz in Columbia, and this visit was a much better…read moreexperience than my first one several years ago. When we first arrived, the entrance was pretty chaotic. Parking is limited, especially when birthday parties are going on, and the lobby felt very crowded. Checking in also took longer than expected because one guest ahead of us needed help completing the waiver, while everyone else waited. Thankfully, a manager stepped in and got our party checked in quickly. The shoe storage area was another bottleneck. Since each party has designated bins, there were a lot of people gathered in one small space, making it difficult to get in and out. Once we were inside, though, things improved. The facility itself was clean, including the bathrooms, and the kids had plenty of space to play. The birthday host was very friendly, but he seemed a little overwhelmed and forgot a few things throughout the party. It wasn't a bad experience--just not quite as organized as other birthday parties I've attended. Overall, it was a fun afternoon, and the birthday child had a great celebration. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit this particular location, I would attend another party here if invited. I still prefer the Rockville location, which has been a smoother experience for me.

In the summer, it becomes a large open green space with a splash pad, offering things like free outdoor yoga classes or festivals on the green. In the winter, it becomes a large outdoor ice rink.

I enjoyed learning knife and ninja star throwing. The variety of weapons kept the games fun. My friend and I alternated between a traditional target, tic-tac-toe, and zombie target practice. Being the first appointment of the day, we got to choose the music genre. I liked that after safety and lessons, you're free to play any game. The digital boards made keeping score easy, and we could go at our own pace. Overall, we had a great time.

This experience was so fun. This was the second time that I went to a paint splatter room, and I…read morecan honestly say that this one was better. I booked the room for two and with taxes it was about $63 for the same experience and other rooms you are looking at $70 or more for two. The staff were very pleasant and gave us thorough instructions. They also have a tablet available for you to choose Spotify songs of your choice. The music sounds so great coming through the speakers. You are given 25 minutes to paint in a dark/black light room. They give you paint brushes, a canvas, a few colors of paint and some objects to use to make different designs. The objects in my opinion didn't really work in the way that they were probably intended to. However, they gave a decent amount of paint and we had a ball! Towards the last five minutes, they give you some paint guns in which you can have a battle with your friends or spray the walls if desired. If you are into axe throwing, they also have that available.

Even after closing for six months to repair the rink, the facility itself was untouched. The bathrooms are not great-- freezing, weak hand dryer, and often not in the best condition.

Many of the coaches care and work very well with students.

Not a bad place to ice skate! I travel here to meet up with Maryland friends to ice skate since…read moreit's a nice central meet up spot. The parking lot is relatively large. The public skate sessions are two hours long for $8, and rentals are $4. Compared to the Capitals Arena in VA, it's really affordable! However, know that if you rent here, the rental skates are pretty worn down and the blades are not sharpened. If you're learning to skate, it may be a better idea to invest in your own beginner skates compared to the rental skates here so you get a real feel of skating and have more safety and security from getting a sprained ankle. It's usually crowded on weekends, especially with kids birthday parties and lessons so expect little kids zooming past you. I went on a random weekend in December 2022 and it wasn't too crazy compared to a different weekend in March 2022. Could be because people have more plans during the holiday season, who knows? tldr; affordable ice rink, but don't rent skates from here. can get crowded, but you also can get lucky. Parking is decent, but again can get crowded. Come early during public skate sessions to give yourself time to tie your skates on tight!
