Kelly S.

Our nine year old wanted her birthday party here. I'm so glad we said yes. Her and her friends had a great time. The party package included pizza, drinks and little ice cream cups (we brought cake.) She loved her name being said over the intercom and was thrilled when the lights were dimmed and the music was turned up for skating. The employees were super nice and friendly. We recommend!!

2.5/5 rating just because this is the only indoor roller skate in Anchorage. First, the parking lot is a dirt road and exterior is not well maintained. I figure the inside wouldn't be too bad, however i was mistaken. Second, no food from outside and were forced to endure pricey food - extremely salty pretzel for $3.50 and large soda (more like medium) $3.00. There's also no diet sodas and the water fountain looks questionable for lead. Third, their loaner skates are outdated from the 60s or 70s with holes on the tip and falling apart. The owner should invest on the parking lot, better lighting, and new equipment. This place has a lot of potential but our experience here was just ok.

See all

As most the reviews state, the staff yet again make me hate this place. I'm 20 and I still like to have a little fun and go skating, I arrived and I parked in the front. I parked straight since there where no lines on the ground and no signs, the owners daughter then rudely stated 'you parked wrong, park diagonally.' I would have been fine with this correction had it not been with attitude. When I was skating, I was practically being stalked by the one 60 year old security who would get on my case for doing anything at all, literally yelling at me for standing in the food court and drinking when there was no place to sit. Lady, I'm not ten, don't yell at me like I'm the ten year olds around you because you will get a mouth full. I was so irritated with this lady that I left because she wouldn't stop following me. I'm a 100lb woman not a cereal killer. This place sucks if your an adult. Go to royal roller rink instead. read more

Ed Caldwell just stole $5 dollars from my 9 year old son. He says he is not responsible for equipment in his store. Pretty sad that he prays off of children's allowance and has no responsibility. Cries all the way to the bank I am sure. read more

This place is terrible! Took a half hour just to get skates that actually laced to the ankle! I had to exchange them three times and they looked at me as if I did something wrong. Very dirty, over priced snack bar and rude ass employees. Tear this place down or give it an extreme makeover. I will NEVER come back here again! read more

Had our daughter's b-day today and it was terribly unorganized and stressful. I have never had such a bad experience as we had today there. Staff was rude, did not help with the parties aside from cooking the food. Strict timelines, boot you out the door! Literally! Only food items available from their concessions were hotdogs and pretzels, even though they make pizzas and have them in the warmers, they refuse to sell slices. Still confused as to why it's listed on their menu? All they have to serve kids is Pepsi...not accommodating to anything else but pepsi. And when asked for water...answer was no! Don't start parties on time, supposed to start at 12:45 didn't start until 1:45 and kicked us out of party area before 2:30. So about 30-45 mins to eat, do presents, cake, etc. and were quickly told to exit the party area. Don't take cards. System for getting skates under a birthday party is incredibly disorganized and not convenient for the party parents. Have to walk up with each party guest to get skates to put a notch on your punchcard instead of just keeping a list behind the counter. So parents have to stop what their doing and take away from party constantly. Missed watching my kiddos skate due to all the stress. I couldn't run out of the place fast enough and will definitely never be going back in the future. Very very disappointing experience for everyone involved. Also, no stalls in bathroom...just toilets and a couple small dividers, so you have to pray no one walks in while you're using the restroom unless you like people watching you potty. :-( read more

The Blueline 'pub' upstairs has great views of both rinks, great food that serves until midnight, plus they TiVo many games and will play them at customer's request. They also have a small sports shop with skate sharpening capabilities, I don't usually shop there because they are a little more expensive than most but they sure are convenient. A track around both of the rinks is great for running because it is cool in the center and you can watch both hockey rinks from above the glass. This place is just too much fun, whether I'm catching a football game, playing in a hockey tournament or just in for some refreshments. It doesn't get better than this sports center.

It is…read moreconveniently connected to multiple trails and easy to access on foot from most of West Anch, Spenard, Northstar/Valley of the Moon, Midtown, and Downtown. If you've got a bike, you can connect from even further out very easily. As such, the Lagoon looks a lot like a Gilmore Girls community and is popular with people year round. There are frequently small sponsored events going on- the coolest of which involves ice skating in the winter. I personally love this park because it's a great place to bird watch. It's a fragile breeding ground for aquatic birds (take note dog owners - IT IS NOT OK TO LET YOUR DOGS OFF LEASH HERE OR LET THEM SWIM!) Red Neck Grebes are one if the more unusual arctic birds that breed here. The arctic terns also put on quite a show. Various loons and cranes also make an appearance, as well as some unique ducks. There's also an awesome playground and snack bar for the kiddies. A few years ago they also installed a bike counter that tracks the thousands that use the Tony Knowles at various intervals - it's fun to watch the numbers climb as the season goes on. There's also a free bike maintenance station here. Definitely a great location for lots and tourists alike, but parking is a problem, so carpool or better yet, use the trails!

They have private parking lots for you to park free of charge. It is located near downtown and is a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It conveniently lies at the intersection of two of Anchorage's most popular trails, the Tony Knowles and Chester Creek trails. There were many runners traveling through while I was there, going through the two little tunnels that run under the road. You will find benches and picnic tables here to sit around the lake. This is home to lots, I mean lots, lots of waterfowl. They seemed aggressive, so I kept my distance. The disc golf course was nice but was covered in snow and mud. The lake is nice and during the winter is converted to an ice hockey/skating rink. My only complaint is that the park could be a little cleaner, even though part is that could be due to me visiting off-season. There were some maintenance guys there do some other stuff. The park is touted as a great place to bird watch in the spring and you can see other animals such as moose, beaver in the early morning or late evening, muskrats, foxes, otters, and minks, year-round, but it is rare. I did not see any of them. This nature park has a calming kind of peace to it, even though you hear the hum of cars on the nearby road. Just sitting on the bench looking out to the lake was so very soothing. If your schedule permits, I highly recommend visiting this place to just relax and recharge.

There's a whole world of recreational hockey teams in this town that I wasn't at all privy too! Also, you can watch them, FOR FREE! What a great activity on a Wednesday night! The area around the arena is pretty bare. There are very sporadic bleachers. It's cold in here (though, it honestly feels warm compared to winter outside), so bring a good jacket and/or blanket. It's right behind the Spenard Post Office. You've probably been near it a dozen times. Next time, stop in and poke around!

I came down here on a co-worker's invite since he works at this place part-time on the weekends…read more Ben Boeke Ice Arena is a smaller sports facility located next to the Sullivan Arena on Gambell. The Anchorage Wolverines were playing against Fairbanks Saturday evening. Tickets are normally $25, but luckily I was able to get in for free by my co-worker's supervisor. It was a pleasant surprise and the hockey game was a lot of fun. Anchorage won 6-3. Aside from the game, the arena is very small, almost a fraction of the seating area at the Sullivan Arena, now being used as a homeless shelter during the winter. The arena was at full capacity with easily about several hundred people in attendance with more lined up against the balconies once there were no more seats. It would've been nice if both sides of the arena had seats. Otherwise, it was very cramped through the aisles and the stairways had people standing off to the side as people passed through. It reminds me of the airports when they announce that boarding has started. It wasn't that much easier when standing in line to get food from the concession stand for me and everyone else. One side had people watching from the balcony while the other side had the concession line. People were literally squeezing by in the middle just to get through. The wait in line wasn't long but it was a challenge to navigate the aisles without spilling your food and drinks. There was literally no area aside from the seats to eat your food if you are standing at the balcony with the exception of the standing counter opposite from the registers. Even then, people were lined up against the counter waiting so utilizing that wasn't an option. I decided to take one of the empty tables down by the admission area away from the crowds to eat my food. This kept me from watching the game for awhile, but since it was free I couldn't complain. Coming down to catch a game here is fun especially with the lively atmosphere and the blaring music in between faceoffs. Just be prepared to deal with very limited space when this place fills to capacity.

Great place for hockey tournaments and games. Rink 1 is larger and better kept than rink 2. Both…read morerinks have heaters for the fans - which is always appreciated. However rink 2 is unbearably hot which means the ice is softer than other rinks in town. The locker rooms are well-kept, but the part of town the rink is in means sometimes we find unwanted guests -and things- in the showers. Also because it shares the same parking lot as the Sullivan Areana - Sometimes parking is next to impossible if there is an Aces or Seawolves game! Overall one of my favorite rinks to play at because of the comfort for the fans, and Rink 1 has nice ice.

This place is fucking HORRIBLE. We went there to have a good night, and thought it would be a fun. They told us they don't except cards, which is acceptable but the way that they told us to go inside to the rink to use the ATM was not. I kindly asked which door is was, and the older man rudely said "well obviously if that's the only door". Whatever, no biggie just horrible customer service. We got inside, put our skates on, and got into the rink. A younger woman told us that we couldn't have our phones on the rink, so we put them away. Then she told one of my friends that he couldn't keep his beanie on. Why is that such a big fucking deal? He has alopecia. My friend went up to the older man and explained his reasoning to keep it on, and he said "well either take it off or you can leave". We decided that it was a good idea to leave, so we kindly asked to get our money back. My friend got his money back, but we did not. It's pretty fucking ridiculous that we have to leave because the owners can't take their head out of their ass and let someone wear a beanie. I don't know the reasoning behind, but it's bullshit. And for the older woman, who I assume is the older mans wife, here is a popular voicemail for you.. "This is for Rachel you big fat white nasty smelling fat bitch why you took me off the motherfucking schedule with your trifling dirty white racist ass you big fat bitch oompa loompa body ass bitch I'm coming outside". I would give this place 0 stars, but I could only select the one star. read more

So I want to start this off by saying I have been skating at Skateland for the better part of two years. I started going in fall 2019 and Skateland is a great place for beginner skaters who need a smooth surface to start on. However, and this is a big however, Diamond Skateland kinda sucks for anyone going more than once a month. The playlist is always the same, it rarely changes. And I don't mean just the same kinds of songs. I mean every single time, in the same order, the same songs will play, every time you go. Weekday, weekend, crowded with people or just you and a few skaters there. It has maybe changed once in the years I have been skating there, and it wasn't a full change. Only a few songs swapped in to switch for ones from the early 2010's. Some of these songs that always play are the ghostbusters theme song, the electric slide (long version), electric avenue, the ymca, and such... The owners will not take song requests at all. You also can't wear a hat, wear headphones or earphones, or have your phone out to take pictures on the rink. I continue to go, because it is the only option for indoor skating in Alaska right now, but if there was any other place I would stop going. For 10 dollars a night I would like to hear some classic rock, pop hits, r&b, anything but the same 30 songs in the same order. Every. Single. Time..... read more

Please do not have a birthday party here, and if you must have one, make sure you wait outside until all of your guests arrive. If you do not do this you WILL be charged for people coming to drop children off and then leaving. This was the absolute worst we have ever been treated by anyone and the worst part was it was Management who treated us this way. The only plus is that my daughter had a good time because she got to be with her friends. This was a my bad on my part because I should have read the multiple reviews before reserving the spot for her party. Never again. I can only pray for the management to realize their mistakes and I will move on. read more

Worst experience I have ever had. Absolutely terrible customer service, and management act like a bunch of bull dogs. Our friends were being charged for people who were dropping kids off and leaving with the other children. When my friends husband went to dispute the charges the older man came out in a threatening way towards him. They say they treat their military vets extremely well, and today I saw just one vet treated worse than the dirt on the bottom of managements shoes. I will never go back or even tell my friends about this place unless they plan on having a party there, and then it will be to warn them about how terrible of a place this is. read more
