I felt they weren't very clear about not using actual ice and I felt the ad In Groupon was misleading. I threw away the tickets due to no refund through Groupon and because I couldn't give them away. It would have been sad had it not been so funny. The place is small. The place is not a "rink". It's a room with plastic tiles for ice. It wasn't even fairly cold. So yeah sorry one star. Can't call this ice skating in any way

Very pricey for the experience received. Great Skate charges for everything and are entitled. I…read morewon't get into the actual Great Skate skating experience, as that I'll leave up to the grandchildren to review if they feel like they want to. I'm giving Great Skate the second star because Great Skate at least refunded 2 of the 3 grandchildren's fees since 2 of the 3 refused to skate once getting past the Great Skate entrance and seeing what it was like inside. I was there just to bring the kids. I did not skate; I was just 1) a Great Skate spectator, 2) the source of payment to Great Skate and 3) to be responsibile for the kids while they were visiting Great Skate. Nonetheless, I had to sign a Great Skate waiver and I was not allowed to sign the Great Skate waiver without providing an email address. I was more than willing to sign the Great Skate waiver, provide a driver's license, provide my passport, give fingerprints, whatever to just to get inside of Great Skate. But, because the Great Skate waiver is online I could not progress thru the Great Skate waiver without me first forking over my email address. Otherwise, I would be denied the ability to be responsible for the kids. Rather than wait outside the doors of Great Skate while the kids went in by themselves, I gave up my email address . . . just to sit on a bench and watch. Yep, now I'm getting spammed with a relentless barrage of Great Skate email solicitations. They are not about a good CX, just generating more revenue, bolstering the Great Skate spam list and managing data via a rigid Great Skate platform.

As a child, you could not get me out of a rollerskating rink. I made my dad take me every Saturday…read moreas I just loved skating back then and stil love it now too! I came here for adult skate night with a girlfriend and absolutely enjoyed myself thoroughly! Adult night is really fun, with most people knowing how to skate (nothing wrong with people who are beginners), which made it a lot easier to gauge how others would behave on the wooden rink floor. Music was old school hip hop with a real good DJ and had me bopping and dancing along while we skated! I also loved the dimmed lights and strobe lights, which gave it a club like vibe instead of like in a classroom. I got in two hours of skating, and called it a night. Next time, hopefully, I'll stay for longer as adult skate is 3 hours! Admission was $14 and with tax, a little over $15. Rentals cost more but I dont know how much as I own my own skates. Great way to get your body moving, dance to some good beats, hang out with my gitlfriend and an all around good way to spend an evening! You know I'm gonna be back here again, just like when I was a kid. Gonna also take some lessons to improve my backwards skating and hopefully gain more skills for some fancy footwork on the floor!

While visiting family in Phoenix for New Year's, my 3 year old wanted to ice skate! Found this…read moresmall outdoor ice skating ring in downtown Mesa. There is a small parking lot behind the skating ring. Parking was free. We visited on 12/30/23. I purchased tickets the day before, which I highly recommend. Tickets were $10/person. Upon arrival, they had a stand by line and a pre-purchased ticket line. There were a lot of people waiting in standby, as tickets for this day were sold out. Tickets are only needed for ice skating. There is lots of room for family/friends to watch and hangout while you skate. After checking in, we were given tickets that we exchanged for skates. They only had hockey style skates. Note, the small size skate is an 8T (toddler). So if your toddler has a smaller foot they give them foot skates, which attach to the bottom of kid shoes. There was plenty of seating to sit and put shoes on. We went with family so they held onto our shoes, otherwise you would have to rent a locker to keep items in. Next to the skate checkout stand were ice skating assists (plastic walkers for young kids, see pic). These were an additional $5 to rent, WORTH IT! There were several employees constantly brushing the ice. On this particular day the sun was warm and the ice was melting a bit, so they had to keep brushing the water, but this didn't interfere with our skating. We enjoyed the ice skating. Cheap and fun family outing. There was an AT&T pop up tent nearby so we checked out the booth where my kids got to jump in the snow globe! So fun! There was one dessert food truck also, and I saw online that they had other trucks coming and other fun events. Definitely worth checking out!

For the longest time I would skate at this pop-up rink during the holidays with group of friends…read more It's always fun to see families come out for an evening of skating. Because it doesn't snow in the Valley, these little makeshift rinks are the way to go in Arizona. For awhile, CitySkate was located on Central Ave and could hold quite a few people. But because of the light rail extension construction, it got moved to the CityScape plaza area. This has made the ice skating rink smaller and more crowded. So I haven't been in quite some time because of this. CitySkate usually opens around Thanksgiving weekend and stays open until after the New Year. General admission prices are close to $20. Kids, seniors and military are a little cheaper. There is a Christmas Tree in the center of the rink that you can skate around. This is a fun option for families during the holidays if it isn't too crowded.

I'm a regular and have been skating at Mesa for 3 years now, and I'm at my last straw. Last night I…read morearrived to skate the Saturday 7- 9:30 pm session that had been advertised on the calendar, only to find there was a private function and I wasn't able to enter. I had checked the website earlier THAT SAME DAY to check the session time, and it was still being advertised. There was no notice that the rink would be closed to the public. No one knew about this. I stood in the foyer and watched them turn away whole families and a continuous stream of their regular patrons. This is such a disrespectful way to treat customers. Some of us have a very long drive to get there. My problem is that this wasn't a one-off occasion. THIS IS A REGULAR ISSUE. Multiple times, Mesa has failed to adequately announce closures and facility issues. Their website and socials are always wrong, and if you call to check, no one answers the phone. At a bare minimum, customers need to know when the business is open and when it's shut. That's a baseline operating procedure. There is no excuse in this day and age for not being able to relay reliable opening and closing times. If there is an emergency issue, that's understandable, but failing to notify people about a private booking is not. We just want to know when we can skate. Why can't you even do that? You fail before I even walk in the door.

This rink had a lot of dips and uneven surfaces. The DJ started out strong, with favorite hits from way back, but as the night progressed, the music and the vibe kind of changed to a slower pace. There is a concession stand as well as a game room. But honestly. this facility is not worth me coming back to. It's probably good for children. But definitely not for a seasoned gal like myself. Accessible entrance.

Adult skate night is great as a lot of very good skaters show up, so you're in for a treat when you come. There may have been a few people that came that couldn't skate that well. Of all the rinks I have been to lately, I think this one was the most clean and aesthestically pleasing to me. I just wish they wouldn't turn on the bright lights too much. The DJ was kind of all over the place, so I didn't enjoy the music as much, but it was fun to skate and get some exercise in! I want to improve on my rollerskating technique and want to be able to skate backwards with ease, Im working towards that goal. I enjoyed coming here and I'll be back again. It's more pricy on adult night where it's $15 for admission, but honestly, a great bargain for 3 hours of skating. It's great places like these are still open, I know its not so hip to rollerskate, but I've always enjoyed it and will keep skating until I can't. I'm glad this place exist.
