We attended a Bucs Hockey game and were pleased with the venue. Inside the arena they had only one…read moreconcession stand but there was another in the main entrance area as well as a vending machine. Prices for food was reasonable. Seating inside was pretty much what you would expect for a hockey arena but the seating was a little tight (might want to consider where you sit if you are more than an XL in size if comfort is something you are interested in. I'm a ladies L-XL and felt squished).

The last two times we have been here for youth hockey games and the food we purchased was cold. The…read morekids were super upset and when we asked for fresh food(actually warm chicken strips) they declined our request. I wish I would have had a thermometer because I'm willing to bet that chicken was way below the temps it should be held at in a warmer. Then I came to see my friend play men's league hockey any the stand was closed by 8. Lots of us wanting a drink and they didn't keep the stand open. Very poor experiences.

Flexibility, independence, and fun stuff to do. Kiddo went to a lot of different camps last summer:…read morescience center, living history farms, gymnastics (some others I can't think of right now). This is the one and only camp she asked to go to this year. And she asked to go all summer. (She isn't doing that much yet but will fill in there at least a week every summer month.) The flexibility is so great. I buy a bunch of days. More than I need because there's a refund at the end for unused days. Then I tell Steve or Kate that Kiddo is coming the day before. Pick her lunch, or let her pick, and that's it. Maybe check to see if there is a water activity planned because good dads shouldn't forget to send a suit and towel. lol Drop her off any time in the morning and pick her up anytime. So. Convenient. Kiddo gets to pick out her day. If she picks to be on a tablet all day every day, that's a conversation for her and one of her grown ups. Independence means she can make less-than-perfect choices and learn from them. Last summer, Kiddo picked baking in the afternoon every afternoon she went. She was so excited about it. Every day. So excited. Maybe this summer she will sew. She did see a baby raccoon hopping out of a Greenwood park garbage can, so I know she was outside at least once. Haha! The staff was young but dedicated last summer. And I expect it will be the same this summer. They were all really on their games and made sure kids were safe while letting them have space to flex their independence. I'm so glad Des Moines has this option. The weekly fun activities are worth paying attention to--the inflatable water slide was not to be missed last summer. And I sort of wish I could get in on the pies in the face!

This place is a rip off. The staff are rude, my kid comes home and says he was on a tablet pretty…read moremuch all day. They offer the kids garbage food like takeout pizza and takeout bagels and he didnt see a single vegetable. Everyone working here is an underpaid teen. We tried to cancel 2 days in advance and it wasn't til after the submission screen we got a pop up message there would be no refund or recredit. We tried to call to at least get the day we paid for back and they said no literally laughed in our face and suggested we pay for the day again.

It's a great place to go and skate however, we recommended a song so many times and it took them…read morethree hours and they still didn't play it and we came back for another time and they did not play it. The song was not inappropriate nor had any bad words, I don't understand why it took them so long to play a single two minute song. However good place overall

Well if you have to spend a birthday on a Saturday with a bunch of children, this was a good spot!…read moreThe teens that are employed here have great attitudes and service!

Holy sports complex!…read more This Ankeny gem is stacked and has something for everyone with 16 baseball fields, 9 soccer fields, 6 softball fields, and 5 football fields, concession stands with restrooms for each of those different sports' fields and 90 acres of turf. There's walking trails throughout with playgrounds, ponds and open space. We were here for the state softball tournament and I'm here to say PRSC did not disappoint! The dugouts were fabulous with tons of room and two entrances. The fields were quality (though they never watered them during the tournament so they were very, VERY dusty). Seating for parents was shaded. Bathrooms were nearby. Hitting cages were available for warm ups. And wowza. The parking lots were spacious and a short walk to your respective field. My biggest knocks were: - It is such a huge park it can be kind of hard to navigate. More signage would have been great. - Lack of shade throughout. (While seating at each field has plenty, the other areas where teams would hangout between games severely lacked it.) - Open spaces to play catch and warmup weren't as plentiful as one would think. Many open spaces around fields weren't even, with hills. Overall-- we enjoy playing at PRSC! It's near a lot of eateries and easy to get to.

I like the layout of the facility. Good signage of court #s, restrooms, etc. Spectator seating is…read moreample. Downtime options are also good as there are overhead places to go for concessions and seating and watching other games. Good options for concessions. Facility is clean. Parking layout isn't great. Feels like more green space than parking. Also, the windows seem nice until the sun sets and then it gets in the players, refs, and spectators' eyes. There should be some kind of electric shade for that.

Wanted to look into renting the Lakeside center for my daughters wedding. I called twice and spoke…read moreto Leslie, she answered all my questions. The second time I called I wanted to reserve it. You can not do this online, unless you've already booked something with them before. So I had to leave work early to go in there. Ankeny residents have a better price then nonresidents. That's fine, my daughter is a resident. But to put it in her name we both have to go back. me to cancel it and her to book it. Seems like a lot of hassle, but it's an inexpensive wedding venue, so I guess we'll jump through the hoops. Leslie was courteous and polite. She answered my million questions. Now to plan the rest of the wedding! Yikes, where to begin? They don't accept credit cards, just cash or check.
