    Omg what a beautiful day this turn out to be , family friendly staff are always welcome and happy…read morewe are a part of this skating world ! My family had so much fun falling , laughing and just going in circles was so much fun ! I have to thank this environment for having such great service! Please go and enjoy your day here , while it lasts ! I know for sure we'll be back . Hot chocolate and pretzels at indoor concession stop !

    Growing up, we had a lake that froze over right by our house, and we would skate all winter long. I…read moreloved being outdoors and figure skating or trying to play hockey as a kid. This rink brings me back to my childhood. It's, of course, outdoors, and super cheap with a Groupon (under $20 total, for two, with a Groupon). That price also includes the skate rental, which are readily available in all sizes. At the rink, they have music playing, and people of all ages on the ice. Although, the times I've visited, I've mainly seen younger teenagers and kids on the ice. About an hour into free skate, if the weather is warm, the rink can get a little soft and icy, but that's what you expect with an outdoor rink. The rink can get crowded at times and a lot of people tend to gather on towards the one entrance/exit. The inside ticket area offers no refreshments, vending machines or even water fountain, so come prepared and hydrated. They do have lockers, but you pay every time you open them (quarters only), so plan accordingly. Parking is easy and people are coming and going all fay, so even on the Sunday before Christmas, I was easily able to find a spot. The staff here seems to be mainly high school students, who are attentive and very friendly. Overall, a great way to spend some time outdoors in the winter.

    In my google reviews I rated this a 1 star for ignoring covid guidelines when covid first hit…read more There were two birthday parties at once and there were so many kids and adults. That was in 2021. I returned another time and parents were just throwing their kids in the rink to tire them out because they didn't want to deal with them. The rink is old and dated and has been for years. Don't expect it to change. Like all other dates rinks, the food is overpriced chuck e cheese slop. It feels like when I was in middle and high schooI. I suggest eating before coming here. I also recommend buying your own skates as rentals are not only gross but not safe. Put that $5 back in your pocket. The music is like top 40 stuff and some old school music for the old and experienced folks. I skated on and off from middle school to summer camps and church groups. Pushing 40 and out of shape but I regained confidence. Sometimes it's not the rink itself, it's the people. It was a very chill Sunday that wasn't too crowded. if you're nostalgic or you just want a good workout, it's good. But if you're expecting a modern 2025 skating rink with today's music and gen z'ers and alphas, it's not gonna happen.

    I went with my wife and 2 year old. It costs $47.50 even though I didn't even skate. I can't…read morebelieve what they charge just to go inside and I have no idea how you charge for a 2 year old. This place is truly a rip off and they don't even invest their money well because it looks like a war zone location from the outside. It has probably never been updated from whenever they first opened decades ago. Miserable place.

    Curling....always thought that was what salons did, but turns out this sports goes back thousands…read moreof years. A few months ago I took them up on their offer for an intro evening a few hours, since a friend of mine has been doing this for one reason. What a weird sport. Thought there would just be a bunch of old lonely bald guys drinking, throwing stones. But not only did I find it interesting, but the "handlers" were kind, very instructional and welcoming. Nice vibe. There were different ages, genders and backgrounds. Nice mix of newbies. The place is in the Beardsley Park area, and EZ to get to from the highway. There is free and EZ parking. Looking forward to the next step in November....a six pack of Saturday morning lessons.

It's got to be extremely diffficult to perfect (if not impossible), but is pretty accessible for newbies. We enjoyed our ice time, which was spent learning and playing the game, and also enjoyed the social atmosphere afterward. They have a great little bar, and a drink was included with the event. Additional drinks could be purchased at very reasonable prices. I was surprised as snacks were also provided - there was bruschetta, pork tenderloin, mixed nuts and caprese salad. The Nutmeg Curling members really went above and beyond in ensuring that we all had a wonderful evening out and I'd highly recommend any event they offer. If I lived closer, I'd consider joining.

    Ambiance: B+ Cleanliness: A…read moreStaff: A Food: B Kid Friendly Factor: B- ---- I came here for a good friend's daughter's birthday party and went in a little skeptical. This area hasn't always had the best track record when it comes to keeping places clean or well-maintained (I'm thinking of that old movie theater down the road), so I wasn't sure what to expect. But, truthfully, I have no major complaints. The rink was impeccably clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole place just felt upbeat and well-run. Even the food was surprisingly good, granted its hot dogs and pizza. I did not strap on a pair of skates and take my big booty on the rink, but the kids (and adults that were braver than me) had an amazing time - nothing but laughter. One slight thing that I didn't like is that those hand roller thingys kids use to prevent face planting cost extra, and it was both overly costly and created a logistical nightmare because everyone was stealing each others (not sure the kids understand they had to be paid for so if they where around they just took one) Overall though, solid roller rink.

    This place is an absolute joke , went there with my wife she had new quads and I brought my blades…read more. They tell me I can't use my skates because they don't have a brake I don't need one because I know how to skate . He said they don't want to scratch the floor??? I need to rent skates What , first of all everyone signs a waiver to cover them on liability no wonder place was dead on a Saturday . TheyReally made a big deal out of nothing . Would not recommend at all .
