Growing up, I went to this place quite often, but it's changed a lot. The owners have changed…read moremultiple times within the last few years and the new owner is quite unprofessional and quite rude to say the least. I overheard him speaking to one of the favorite and well known skate instructors with a nasty tone. During this same visit he got snappy with me as well. MUST'VE WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED. I heard many complaints about how he runs out on the rink floor policing in an aggressive manner. He also has passed this behavior on to his Saturday afternoon skate guard. Customer service everything these days. Skating is supposed to be a therapeutic and safe place. I've tried many times over the last few months to visit this place but I do believe this is my last visit. I'd rather drive to Laurel and be treated with respect.

I haven't been to Lanham Skate Center in years!…read more Coming back wasn't only a treat but brought a little bit of nostalgia for me. I came on a Friday night where there were way more adults than kids. To be honest, all the adults had on good expensive skates but me. (Dork alert) This means that these people come and really skate skate. For the most part there were lots of couples skating together in sync with the type of synergy that only Chemistry will allow. Way cool to see them skate so effortlessly, even the big boy who was skating with one leg! Ladies there were couples but there were men all by their lonesome skating like superstars. It was super fun, it's definitely a workout, and this girl is going to buy cute skates to fit in for next time. Customer service was great! Price is reasonable! 17$ Didn't try the food had dinner prior! But drinks are fairly priced. Music is on point! Love the DJ, it's almost like he had my playlist. Place is a little run down but the floor is perfect, restrooms could get a facelift but overall cute place! Date night worthy if you're active! Tip: Bring quarters if you want to safely store your stuff. They do not give cash back and can't charge you for a locker. Would recommend!

Now, I have not skated in over 20 years but was a good inline skater as a child, and after a…read moreviewing a lot of fun videos of families and friends roller skating in numerous cities throughout the country and researching some quick tutorial videos on YouTube, I decided to come out of skating retirement and try out Lanham Skate Center, that I have read/heard of and even have driven past several times, but had not personally visited. I had a blast and such an awesome fun and amazing time. I had to use the guardrail with wheels to go around the rink several times before gradually trusting myself and having the confidence to start taking strides on my own by the guardrails and then eventually taking steps to start having my balance, technique, and rhythm down just an amazing epiphany, self development and fulfilling prophecy throughout the evening such an excellent feeling of accomplishment and overcoming fear, as I was able to get the hang of things without needing an actual class and had that my muscle memory kicked in from inline skating a lot as a child. Now for the actual establishment itself, I am sorry that others have not had the best customer service, but my mom and I were fortunate to receive stellar, friendly, and top-tier customer service from the admissions to the snack bar and for me at the shoe rental. Staff were easygoing, polite, friendly, attentive, approachable, and had great attitudes. I think the customer service outside of the skating experience itself for me was the most memorable part, as I was dreading and expecting poor to mediocre customer service. The pricing is also a plus. The general admission is only $10 bucks and renting skates is only $5 dollars so it is a very affordable, fun, and memorable outing. Bowling can easily cost $50-$100 dollars altogether within a blink of the eye depending on rounds played and other factors. Roller skating is not as widely popular as bowling and has more of a niche audience, but it is way more reasonable cost wise and is great for your physical and mental health. You feel this euphoric sensation after skating! Now what keeps this place from receiving 5 stars or even 4 stars is the location and amenities themselves. The rink although large with excellent guardrail placement around it, has a dated floor with a few areas that have a little bit of friction which makes it hard to have a smooth skating experience. The skates I rented were pretty dated and worn with the front of one skate peeling, so I think investing in newer skates would be ideal down the road. I had the right size of skates, and they did not feel too heavy, but they were a bit worn out. I know the challenges small businesses face, and I was thankful and grateful to have a local skating rink not too far away from where I live, but that is something cause of concern. A nice feature are the referees/support staff that do a great job monitoring the rules on the skating rink and to help novice/beginner skaters if needed. Yes, this place has a lot of rules, but skating can be a risky activity, so safety is paramount. The snack bar is a bit more limited and restrictive than what to expect at a bowling alley. Please do not come here on an empty stomach. It is best to eat before coming here. I understand that the skating rink is not a restaurant, but there are no hot pockets, sausage, and other finger food outside of wings and fries. The candy was almost 3 dollars per bag which is pricey. The food and its options was the most disappointing part. The venue itself is pretty dated and would look and feel nicer with a more modern, revamped look. I think the venue would benefit from a massive upgrade in the aesthetics department. The music was not what I have interest in personally with Cardi B., Glorilla, and other new school hip/hop - rap artists. I enjoyed when Jay Z and Alicia Keys came on, that is when I started to get into my rhythm and groove! Sorry Cardi you just don't do it for me. Having a lot of little kids skating with me listening to ole Cardi B was an experience to say the least. All in all, despite some limitations and issues here and there, this is still a great outing and nice to check out.

And for a child of the 70s and 80s, I could see myself having a Stranger Things party here with the setting already thrown in. We came here for my goddaughter's 7th birthday party. The party was around 30 kids. No problems were had regarding reservations or accommodations. The kids had a blast. The music was pretty loud, on top of a bunch of very vocal 5 to 8 years olds. They even had someone scouting the entrance to facilitate the admission of party guests.

There were multiple groups of 5+ teens/tweens holding hands, blocking anyone from passing by them. Occasionally they would slingshot someone off of their chain of people into the rest of the ice skaters around them. There were also skaters passing by so quickly my hair was whipping in the wind as they flew by. I'm all for speed, but they kept coming so close to me I thought they were going to take me out. On top of that, there were multiple spills and children skating sideways. The workers looked like high schoolers and did not appear to be concerned by the number of people on the ice or the big groups of people linking hands. The skates were also lower quality, and they offered no half sizes. My advice is go at non-peak times and bring your own skates. If you check in on yelp when you arrive, there is a coupon for a hat or gloves.
