Since this is the only skating rink option in the Biloxi/D'Iberville area, we were glad the kids had a good time. The music was great and the snack bar is actually fairly priced, which is a rarity these days. While the kids skated, I was able to hang out and shoot some pool. ​The facility is definitely dated. The pool cues have seen better days, and the 8-ball was literally a white ball with an '8' drawn on it in Sharpie. It worked fine, but the place could definitely use some small updates. Overall, it's a fairly priced, good time for the family, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a local afternoon activity. read more

Stay. as. far. away. from. this. place. as. possible. The staff is rude and they will charge your guests to guest that that should be included in the birthday package that you already paid for. If you ask them about it, they'll tell you there's nothing they can do. Funny as you literally have to pay for everything with cash. Place is a joke and run down. The parking is HORRIBLE. read more

The bathrooms are beyond nasty. The facility is in very poor condition, torn carpets, cones on the skate floor covering broken or water damaged boards. The staff are curt and rude. We took our whole family 5 kids ages 3 to 14. Security guards walk around telling any kids that are not wearing skates that they have to put on skates or leave. Even though they are standing with a parent playing pool or air hockey. Because one of kids got hurt and took off their skates we had to pull their siblings who were still skating off floor halfway through the session. Security also comes into the snack bar and yells the anyone not eating at that moment has to exit the snack bar. read more

Get a female security guard/manager or learn how to have some respect. My MINOR-aged DAUGHTER went in and got dress coded. (Her shirt didn't break a single rule on the sign.) And you had THREE different GROWN MEN look at her shirt. if she wasn't going to be allowed in, it should've been one man looking at her shirt, not three. This is DISGUSTING, and makes me question how you could be called a christian establishment. read more

If I could give this place a 0 star I would , the bathrooms are horrible , the toilets are clogged and there are no locks on the doors , The security guard named Kevin harassed me at the door and almost wouldn't let me inside , then he followed me and my friends around , and told us we had only 10 minutes to go inside the snack bar and eat our food. This place does not like colored people , I do not recommend at all.! read more

Tried to book a bday party here a little over a week in advance and of course that was too late. So my son got a group of his friends together and we went together and I just paid for everyone at the window. Now truthfully after reading reviews I was extremely hesitant to even go here, we'd never been before but I was out of last minute ideas and just prayed for the best. I went in a few days before the "party" to check it out and everyone was extremely nice! I'm assuming the guy I spoke with over the phone and then while there may have been the manager/owner. He was very friendly and allowed me to go in and look around to see if I felt it was a good spot. Now fast forward to the day my group went and we received the same great customer from him even with a packed house which is a huge feat. Even in the cafe area the ladies were all smiles and very helpful. The kids (some whom had previously visited) all had a great time! The food: It was fine, nothing special and I'll say the prices were good because I've had food on that level and worse than that from other establishment and had to pay double what they were charging. Basically don't expect spectacular but it's definitely good enough. We'll definitely visit again, most likely during the week. read more

I'm 12 and its awesome now like the foods a lot better apparently and the owners nice and the staff is the best you'll ever meet I think y'all should skate here I love going here. (also, anybody that wants to have a date this place is perfect) read more

The owner of this business really needs to watch how she treats her customers. Tonight my daughter was crying when I picked her up because the owner snatched headphones off of my daughter's head and they caught on her earrings. You DONT EVER put your hands on a customer and especially not someone's child!! This is NOT OK!! read more

They make everyone skating sit down to address all the birthday people. We are not there for their birthday, so don't take away time from us to recognize people we do not even know when they have a bunch of people there specifically for them to celebrate with. And the owners are rude, like every says, but they're very old and hard of hearing also. But I think it's time to hand it over so customer service is better. read more

Them bathrooms need locks. In the girls bathroom I had to hold my friends door shut bc she had to pee nd couldn't so she called me up during the Hokey Pokey and I had to hold the dang door. Also the lady at the front with the eyebrows was extremely rude to me and my family. Will not be coming back. read more

Was continuously harassed by owner during birthday party about my shirt being low cut when I wasn't showing any cleavage. They are sexist against women having woman parts big time. They wouldn't allow me to even rent skates to help my kid skate for his first time AND didn't have enough of those little kids trainers/ walkers to go around. The owner was very rude. They only accept cash and waited until I used their ATM to tell me I couldn't rent skates. Also, harassed my friends kid that didn't want to skate but was there for her sisters party trying to make her skate. Money grabbing bigots with a modesty culture high horse. read more

There is no cell service in this building. My daughter went with friends, and stepped out to call me to keep me updated. They would not let her back in, even if she paid again. She came home, upset, so I called to see what the deal was. The guy that answered put me on hold for a manager, and I heard him say "f*cking kids" when the phone was set down on the counter. A lady picked the phone up (manager) and just said that was their policy. How are kids not allowed to update their parents?? Ridiculous. read more

If I could give this less than a one star review I would. And normally I usually don't make these kind of Yelp reviews unless I'm extremely bothered. My husband and I are from out of town and recently moved here because we're military. I guess it's our fault for not checking, but there is a dress code and they don't take card. First of all this place is as disgusting and gross, but we gave it a chance because there's not much else to do here. When we were met at the counter the old lady at the desk notified us that there's a dress code. Again we're from out of town and never had heard of rules like these, but I respect the owners wishes as it's their right to enforce them. I began to read them and they are extremely one sided. No straps, no midriff, no short shorts and honestly the list went on. Basically if your a women they expect you to come fully covered from head to toe (in the middle of humid summers ). Now I read in other reviews that this is a Christian owned skating rink which I have no problem with because I'm religious as well. BUT as I was reading the 100+ rules for their dress code the dusty old women literally grabs every one of her employees to come stare at what I'm wearing. (Mind you I'm in a tshirt and leggings, but I do have a bigger bust). Completely and totally embarrassing having all of them stare me up and down like I came in naked or something??? At this point I'm confused as to why they're all gathered staring and the dustier older man legitimately yells and ask me "WHY ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND HIM". Because I was behind my husband still reading their dress code rules. At this point I knew he was Implying I should be ashamed to be wearing what I chose to wore. I understand they have rules and want to enforce them but the way he delivered that message was extremely rude and disrespectful!! I managed a store myself and I know how to keep a professional tone when speaking to customers, but this old man was screaming at me like he lost his goddamn mind. I don't care what religion you are or how you chose to practice it, LEARN HOW TO ADDRESS YOUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE JUST BEING OLD DOESN'T GIVE YOU A PASS TO BE RUDE. And yes I yelled at him back saying I wasn't hiding behind my husband because I'm a grown a** women and I do not feel ashamed for wearing totally appropriate clothing. Tbh I don't give two sh*ts about their dress code. I rather take my business elsewhere and YOU SHOULD NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. they are owned and managed by miserable old people that like to sh*t on young women for having the bodies they were born with. F*** THIS PLACE read more

Armed security extremely rude and antagonistic. Told my sister she needed to put a bra on .... when not that it's anyone's business but she was definitely wearing a bra. He told me to put a shirt on. We were extremely uncomfortable, felt like sexual harassment. He was very aggressive and inappropriate towards us *immediately.* This place has a reputation for being racist and it lived up to it. Will never attempt to come to this trashy trailer park skating rink again. read more

Absolutely terrible place -- this place only gets business because it's the only skating rink around. They don't accept card, and it's strictly a cash only place. Are we not living in 2019? Also, if you're a older sister/brother or an aunt taking a little one to skate, you'll also have to buy a ticket to skate because you're not the parent of the little one. Just go ahead and lie and say you're the parent to save yourself $7. The building also has no reception, so if you're dropping off the little one to skate, there's absolutely no way you're going to be contacting them unless you go in yourself. Also, if the little one has to call or text you, they'll have to exit the building, at which point their ticket is invalidated since there is no re-entering. The rink itself is in disrepair and looks like it hasn't seen renovations in decades. The snack area is poorly maintained, so good luck finding a clean seat to sit in past the hour mark of the skate rink opening. The owner/older lady that was doing the ticketing just emits anger. The guards (lack of a better word) let a lot slide in terms of cussing, bullying, etc, so this isn't exactly the family environment that the establishment advertises. Save yourself the time and the trouble and find the little one better activities to do. :) read more

I do not recommend at all. The old lady at the front desk is very rude. She literally hollered at us because she can't hear and then in a very ugly voice told us that only 1 adult was allowed in and only kids paying to skate. Awfully strange that I have been there several times and brought all 3 of my children in each time even though only 1 of them skates and was never told that. This was the first time my husband who happens to be Mexican decided to go with us, and she didn't want him in there. They will not get my $ anymore. That's not how you run a business. This is 2023. Racism needs to stop. read more

The last few times we have been there it has been terrible. Tonight we were denied admittance by an extremely rude old woman in the ticket booth. I had to fully closed preteens with me. We drove from Long Beach, and because one of the girls long sleeve shirts showed the top of her jeans when the woman made her raise her arms, she told her she would not be allowed in. Again we drove from Long Beach to visit this dying establishment, they now have security at the door and an extremely rude woman. Judging preteen girls by there fully modest outfits. I will never throw another birthday party here. I will never put another dime into this ridiculous establishment. Again, the girls were fully closed and the treatment was as though we were criminals. If there was a zero*I would give that one. These kids are in long pants and long sleeve shirts and denied access because of dress code. The service is absolutely horrible and we were treated like trash. read more

I wish I could rate this place lower than a 1 star. For such an old dusty musty building you would think the staff would be pleasant, but no they are just as ignorant and dusty as this shack of a building. The odor is so pungent and sour it ran us off before the raggedy rude hillbilly staff did. STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

I came here on a very rainy night and it was very musty inside. Large fans and ac were blowing whiched helped a bit. Wood floors are not all smooth but on Wednesday nights its only $3 with rentals! Rentals are very old but like most places, as expected. I changed out my skates 3 times. Staff were pleasnat and helpful. read more

Golden Gate Skateland - Wednesday night $3 includes skates! - Skating Rinks Near Me - Diberville, Mississippi

Absolutely horrible experience coming here a week ago! The security guard clearly had a problem with me and my friends being a skin tone darker than egg shell. He was rude and disrespectful. Apparently the paper bag test is in full effect. Thumbs down! read more

Maaaaaan nostalgia is a powerful feeling. I haven't been to a rink in DECADES but this one hasn't changed a bit. Everything about it is reasonable. The food is all junk but hey, that's the way I like it. It's hard to imagine this being the last skate rink on the coast seeing how PACKED the place was, but I'm happy I was able to appreciate this feeling again. I also still cannot skate one bit. read more

Sorry to say this was a very unfortunate experince all around. I read the reviews and decided to give them the benfit of the doubt and find out for myself. I have been skating for 17 years and will do anything to keep skating in life...well, almost. The man at the door notified me that I was out of 'dress code' because I was wearing a spaghetti strap rasor back shirt and asked me to out something on. Then he proceeded to tell me I was not allowed to enter without a mask regardless of my medical conditon which prohibits me to do so. The gentleman was as polite as he could be, however when I asked to speak to a manager, he directed at the woman at the counter who was shaking her head "no" and waving her finger at me as if I was unwanted. Needless to say, if they are trying to run a family friendly and Christian establishment, which they claim to be, one thing I did not see or experience was the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who welcomed all and said the first thing we should do so others know we are of Him is to LOVE our neighbor. I hope someone who works there see's this review and can help make some changes. Until then, I reccomend staying away. read more

I hate writing a bad review for any business because it can ruin a business reputation but i must advise everyone how bad their service really is. On 11/19/22 we were discriminated by the old lady at the entrance window. We approached the ticket window and kindly ask for 3 entry tickets for 3 girls ages 10, and suddenly she gave us an attitude out of nowhere for no reason at all and said we are not welcome here. This is a shame because she made us felt like it was because of our skin color ( she couldnt give us a reason why she's refusing our business. Is it because we're not white?). So we left and went Mullethop. The security guy was cool though, he even apologized for her behavior. Its 2022 yall, this skin color discrimation crap is stupid. People need to stop acting like that. This is America...... read more

I took my 3 kids skating here and one of them didn't know how to skate. She tried very hard but was scared after she was accidentally knocked down. She turned in her skates and wanted to play games instead. We were told that since she didn't have skates on that we had to leave. Mind you I had already paid $28 to get in, another $22 at snack bar and give my kids money to play the games. The owner stood in my face and admitted that he was discriminating against a 9 year old child. Making her keep skates on when she was scared to skate. This man does not need to own a business that caters to kids. If all kids have to have on skates then all the adults should too. I will not ever spend my money there again. read more

Total shit hole. The owners are the rudest people I have ever met. The man wouldn't let my daughter get a new slushy even though the one they sold us was rotten, he tried to say it was supposed to taste like that and the kids LOVE it... It was a freaking $1.50 loss to him to just give her a new one and he flat out refused. The place is run by the mean old burnt out owners, and a bunch of teenage boys who are too busy flirting with the 13 year old little girls, to pay attention to the rough housing and cussing going on, causing for a lot of little kids getting knocked down and trampled over. The place itself is run down, out dated, smelly, dirty, and just plain trashy. I would love to see someone open a new skating rink and put this garbage heap out of business. read more

Haven't been here in a hot minute but back when i was a teen this was THE place to be on Friday/Saturday nights. No matter what every kid who had a life to live up to with their friends were here. Sure it's musty, the snack bar is a good 5/10 but shit you asked for old school and this is as old school as it can get. There used to be lined wrapped around this place you'd wait a whole hour just to be seen in here, i love the old vibe and you definitely learned how to skate and skate good here. Not a place for young kids but sucks to suck‍ let the teens and oldies have their place and take your youngins to the jumpy park i miss this place soooo much, no where in Cali has this vibe read more

Awesome place. I think most of the bad reviews are from people who got mad when they were called out for violating the dress code. I think it's a good thing that this establishment puts so much time and effort into keeping the atmosphere G-rated for the kiddos. read more

I would give ZERO stars if that were an option!! This woman is the rudest business owner I have ever encountered! I brought my 13 year old daughter there today for a birthday party. She was wearing a tank top (which she has worn to school before) and the owner treated her like she was some hardened criminal! We walked up to the window to pay for the ticket and the owner proceeded to tell my daughter to turn around. When my daughter turned around, the owner said NOPE and slammed the window shut in our face! The back of the tank top came to the bottom of her shoulder blades. It was NOT revealing at all! I proceeded to let her know, she could have nicely said "sorry you will need to change your shirt" and I would have accepted it as oh well, that is the dress code. Instead she made my daughter feel like a terrible person for wearing a tank top! This place is old and run down and on top of everything the owners walk around like they are holier than thou! I will never again give this dump a dime of my hard-earned money! SMH!! read more

Horrible traumatizing experience for my 13 year old autistic son his money was taken in the photo booth and he was called stupid my the staff guy Billy and the security guy grabbed my son aggressively for asking for a refund when I questioned them on why they would treat childeren this way the security guard threatened me with pepper spray and told me to leave these people do not like black people and will treat you like your less than human do no take your kids here read more

My kids loved the music, the friendly staff were very engaging with my kids. We will be back.

So sad that this is our only choice for a true " back in the day" skating experience. First, the older woman is enough to run off any good business. If you don't like your job or other people please stay home! There are enough hateful people in this world. She radiates bitterness and she's simply rude! The place definitely needs work but if they can't afford soap to wash hands I'm guessing fixing the place up won't happen. Kids needs to wash hands before eating in a dirty place so please buy soap. Most of the guys that work there are pretty friendly and attentive. There are some good things about this place but would be so much better with improvements and firing rude people. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! Worse place i could have ever taken my children. Everyone was rude especially the owner! Tonight was my first and last time visting. The manger spoke to me and my 8,6, and 2 year old like we were not paying customers,not to mention my 8 year old was pushed down and i was pushed twice while helping my 2 year old! Worse customer service in my entire 28 years of life! read more

I've skated here for years, and I've finally had enough of this place. I can no longer tolerate it. The owners are incredibly rude and disrespectful. Their dress code is absolutely ridiculous. One time I went there I was wearing ripped jeans, and yes they did have a few big rips in them but nothing too terribly major, and a t-shirt. The old lady as the front counter eyed me up and down and then told me I couldn't wear the jeans I had on because it showed skin and also due to the dress code. I felt very uncomfortable as she did this, like was I naked or something? Now I understand that it's a Christian-ran business and I respect that they have a dress code and everything, but it was just crazy. She then yelled to another person, the other owner, whom was a older male. He then screamed in my face when he saw what I was wearing. Me and my sister, whom was with me at the time, were both flabbergasted and taken back by the sudden outburst. Not only that, but towards the end of the session the security guard tried to throw both of us out. He was persistent on trying to get us out the door and physically pushing us out. He was super rude and aggressive. This place had always been really bad, except for when it first opened, but man has this place really gone down hill. It's no longer enjoyable to come here and I highly don't recommend anyone to come and waste their money here. If I could give less stars, I would. 1 star is just being generous. read more

Every time we come here we always have a blast wether it's a party or just by myself so I have no clue why it's rated so low but if this place somehow does close my heart will be broken read more

I went to Golden Gate as a teenager and along with all 3 of my children. The owners make themselves known and present. Extremely friendly. Staff is great. Always smiling and does whatever possible to make the experience a great one. The place is old and could use some maintenance but that comes with an establishment that has been around for 20+ years. The owners are constantly doing things to upgrade and fix things. read more

I had my twins' 11th birthday party here and discovered that to be a huge mistake. Staff is incredibly rude, short, and person supposed to be bringing drinks to our party was awful. I would not recommend! My elderly mom was disrespected and my son, who had surgery the day before his party was questioned. They are not kind, not accommodating, and just not who I would want to host another party! read more

I am from Kansas and I went on a Saturday. There was a line to get in the place, and I was a little nervous about the experience. I ended up having a lot of fun with my wife and kids. In all fairness I gave the place three stars because the place needs some repairs. I don't see a roller rink making a lot of money which would explain some needed repairs. read more

Absolutely horrid experience; not only did my wife and I come here to experience the locally owned businesses of the coast region after moving here, but we were accompanying our friends on their daughters 3rd birthday. In the end, within 15 minutes of us being there, we were asked to leave. Their reason was that we were not skating, even though there were other people not skating either. When we brought up this they told us they were going to call the police, even while I was being calm and collected while talking. In the end the security guard and the owners are very rude and don't care about being fair or even reasonable in how they run a business (they do not accept any plastic which is why we couldn't skate in the beginning) so we will not be returning for any reason. I give one star due to how unfair, and asinine they decided to be on a child's 3rd birthday as well as singling us out while others were doing the same. read more

Terrible place to go. This was kinda cool in the late 80's, but not now. Took my five year old to skate for the first time and spent close to 25 for me, my wife and son. Son was scared and wanted to leave after only having his skates on for less than 15 minutes.. They refused a refund. So much for good customer relations. read more

The staff at the door are rude.... and unprofessional. There oblivious to there own rules and regulations. And they pick and choose which ones they want to follow and make some up as they go. And the way I saw them talk to some of the children, made me mad. Extremely rude and condescending. Extremely sad to see an adult talk to children in that way. read more
