The staff was very friendly. They actually were able to credit the account for missed lessons during Covid which was awesome. The chairs are socially distance for the kids to pop their skates on which is nice. Masks are required. read more

Hampton Roads Iceplex - Skating Rinks Near Me - Yorktown, Virginia

Great ice shaking rink in the Hampton roads area. It a great size. Had my daughter ninth birthday here. The staff was great. My only two issues are the timing. Public skating time is very limited. And your not able to bring outside food expect cake and ice cream. Other then that had a really great time read more

My niece and I visited this establishment because she LOVES ice skating. It was a lot of fun! At one point during the skate, the loudspeaker came on and told us to turn around. I asked my niece why (she knows more about ice skating than me), and she informed me that going one way the entire time is hard on on side of your body. I thought that was very cool. Also - during one part of the skate, they made it snow on us! It was so much fun skating through the snow! The only suggestion I have is to make the loud speaker a little easier to understand and hear. Most of the time you couldn't hear what the person said and I heard others asking what was said. Most didn't know. But we will definitely be back! read more

I always went to this rink and it was great and they had an arcade. Me and my friend wanted to go ice skating today and it said they were open till five we went and they were starting hockey practice and we double checked and it said free skating 2:00 to 5:00 and it was 3:30 read more

My husband visited the ice plex for a date night. I'd say that the prices are great... we spent maybe $19 for admission and skate rentals. I will say though, this place could use a major update. Everything inside from the decor to the lockers to the benches have clearly been there since they opened. The place is mostly overrun by teenagers on their phones (yes. While they ice skate), and it got to be very crowded. I'm not sure of what kind of nightly specials they have but it would probably be smart to have an adult night, maybe with some music or something. Just a thought. read more

I'm into hockey and ice skating and ghis is my local skating rink so ofc i had to go now i go every friday and it's a good way to make friends and hang out it's really fun 7-10pm they have a open skate and they play music they also have seating food and drinks plus it's not pricy the rentals are kinda trash but i have my own so it's not a problem for me. They make it snow some nights to(it's just bubbles) and if you go the same way the whole time it can be hard on your body so every once in a while they will ask you to switch sides for anyone who wants to know read more

See all

I love to skate here. I just think the place needs new flooring because its worm out. Also the bench's are kinda gross. I would also recommend that when there are birthday parties for it only be open for them there were two birthday parties and something else going one i couldnt skate fast i had to go slow because it was crowded and i could have bumped into a kid out of nowhere. read more

Cassidy went above and beyond to help me today. After a great skate session. I left to go to the car to find out my car battery was dead. I went to the skate return counter and asked if there was a chance anyone had a set of jumper cables. Cassidy volunteered the pair she had and jumped my car. She is a great asset to the iceplex. Thank you Cassidy for your assistance today. read more

Pretty good experience. The rentals were pretty old and worn but was sufficient. The staff were friendly and kind. I think it would be a fantastic activity to do on a warm summer day like in July or August to cool off! read more

I brought my kids here last month. This place was supposed to be cleaned up in between sessions. Place was a mess when we got inside. A bunch of kids pushing and rough housing in the ice. Staff in the ice rink would not even lift their eyes from their cell phones or just plainly ignore those kids This place has potential to be a great experience but needs an overhaul and needs more responsible people to run it so they can enforce the safety rules. read more

I had so many issues with my experience here. We arrived at 8, the rink was supposed to be open at 7 but they were resurfacing the ice. Okay, not a big deal. They said masks were required in the lobby, but no one was really wearing them and it wasn't enforced. That's strike one. They didn't have a lot of bench space for the amount of people that were waiting, but that can't be helped. They open the rink for skating. Lots of younger people were there, skating irresponsibly. Slamming into the walls, zooming in and out of people who are clearly skating for the first time... with no correction or warning from staff members. That's strike two. I had a question, so I tried to get the attention of the one staff member that was in the rink. Apparently the date he was on was more important than helping a customer. He acted as if asking for help was an inconvenience for him. Hire people that are going to do their job correctly. That was strike three. I won't be returning. read more

Went with a small group on a Thursday night and there were only about 10 other people there, so definitely not overcrowded. The skating periods start and end at very precise times, but you'll pay the same entrance price whether you arrive 20 minutes before the period ends or at the beginning of the block. The interior isn't stunning but it doesn't need to be - the seating was enough for us, lockers were available for .50 cents and they played good music the whole time. Definitely fun to do a few times or as a date, but come on a week night and don't set foot inside the bathrooms. read more

I grew up playing ice hockey here and practically lived here through out my childhood/adolescent years. They offered many useful programs such as personal skating lessons, learn to play hockey programs, and an array of ice hockey leagues and levels. They even had ice hockey camps each summer with coaches that would come down from Canada and personally help you improve your skills. However, over the years management has changed and a lot downsizing has occurred. I recently visited and the rink itself was in good condition. Hopefully they can get more people interested in figure skating and ice hockey again to bring it back to its full potential! read more

Me and my kids have been skating here for over two years. Lessons are consistently professional and fairly priced. Public skating rates are reasonable and facilities are always well kept. read more

Place is conveniently located in Yorktown, price is about $9 for admission and skate rental. Place looks a bit old and rundown but the ice rink is well kept. Fun for family date night out. read more

Before reading we advise you not to go. When we walked in we were excited until we found out how much it was. When we got our skates they were veryhard.once we found the right skates we got onto the ice. I can't skate without a walker and they only had 4. We waited 20 minutes just to get one. To get it we were put on a waiting list. The ice was very choppy. My dad fell like a baseball player. Some people there were very rude to kids that needed the walker. There was staff on the ice and saw the teenagers that were laughing and did nothing about it. They were putting more ice down and no one told us that it was time to get off the ice. Our trip was awful and that I advise you not to go here. read more

Take any and all sanitizer you have at your disposal. This place is a dump..walk into any of the team locker rooms and you'll see why. If these are this dirty, then so is the rest of it. Please do a deep clean... read more

To all the yelpers, I was looking for a place to take my niece to learn ice skating. I looked on yelp and found this place. I got here 30 min before the public session was about to finish. I paid the full price and proceeded inside. John smith came to me and gave me 2 free ticket because it was near the end of public session, and 30 minutes was very little. He was very generous and amazing in customer service. Second, Alexandra Rimcovitch is an amazing iceskating instructor. She was so patient and very detailed in explaining everything to my niece. Her way of teaching is amazing! My niece learned very quickly. She is also super sweet and kids love that. Russia has some of the best iceskaters ever and that is also why I chose Alexandra. I hope that this is helpful for those who are looking. read more

The rink itself is nice and the few dealings I have had with the employees have been positive. Last week, I saw an employee find a folder left at the rink by a customer. Instead of throwing it away as many businesses would do, the employee found a phone number and left a message for folder owner. That was really nice thing to do. Our experience with the rink mostly surrounds the hockey programs run out of the rink by the Peninsula Prowl. My son has played against and for the Prowl off and on for the last eight years at the Iceplex. This year he played for their travel hockey program and it was a very positive experience. The kids received almost three hours of practice a week and played about forty games - a lot of which they won, which was a perfect number all for a very reasonable price. The coaching instruction was good and all of the kids on the team were nice - as were the parents. Overall the Iceplex and Prowl hockey have been a positive experience for my child and family. I would recommend this facility for skating and the Prowl for youth hockey read more

This is the place where I learned to skate..so long ago that it was named the Ice Palace. It is a fun and safe facility that could use a little exterior power washing or paint but the inside is okay as far as rinks go. It's fun for adults and kids of all ages. Also, they have a couple of very good figure skating coaches and offer ice for hockey if that's your thing as well. Sometimes the public sessions get crowded and get even more so during the holiday season. If you like quiet sessions try going there more in the summer than fall or winter or go when sessions are offered during the hours of 9 - 5. read more

Customer Service and environment gets an A+ I was just driving around the other day and stumbled across this place and decided to check it out. As soon as I walked in the building my happiness went up a trillion percent. I felt like an angel had lifted me up into the ceiling because the atmosphere was so amazing. The staff looked at me and just knew I fell in love with this place. I just knew in this moment, that the Hampton Roads Ice Plex was the place for me! I immediately thought to myself, I am never going to leave, I never want to leave! The ice was my home now and I would never change that. The way I felt when my skates touched the ice was a miracle to my soul. The ice changes you as a a person and I would recommend this to anyone who has had any doubts about it. Not to mention, the snack bar was so glorious I could have cried. The hot dogs were way better than the gas station down the street. SO I absolutely recommend skipping the gas station food for the Ice Plex food instead, way better price and quality! After I had completed my session, I saw the Zamboni come out to clean the ice and I knew there were bigger miracles than the building itself: but smooth, clean, ice. I had to get back out there, I had to skate on such a smooth surface. After I touched that smooth ice with my skates I knew I had to come back again and again. I love the Hampton Roads Ice Plex and will forever recommend this beautiful place to everyone I meet. read more
