Its real simple. If you lived in a small town 20, 30, 40 years ago, this was the experience you had. Friendly people (Greg!) offering useful advice to get your kid into a proper pair of skates for the activity she is doing at the level she is doing it. Taking time to make sure the skates fit. Making adjustments. AND, putting your kid in the right skates regardless of the profit. Greg sold us a pair of used skates. I'm sure he made less than if he sold us new ones, but these were perfect for my daughter and her skating situation. Now he has what I'm sure is another in a long line of lifetime customers. If you shop anywhere else for skates, you've missed out. read more

The only place to buy or have your skates sharpened There is parking out back the driveway in is very narrow looks more like a walk way. Knowing how to sharpen skates seems like a dying art and they know exactly what to do. The customer service is great they are very friendly and know the sport well read more

Best skate sharpening anywhere! Amazing service, friendly advice, and consistent high quality results.

Great service and Greg has years of knowledge . Great at fitting for just the right boot. Value is good for the prices read more

Just the nicest guy, super friendly and prompt. Skates are sharpened right away and done well. I'm planning to take my kids to get fitted for used skates once she requires super expensive skates. The pricing is probably a handful of dollars more than what you can get elsewhere but I'd come here for the great service and trustworthy work. read more

Maiden voyage on the new skates complete. A+! No adjustments so far, but give me a few weeks! Thank you! (I bought brand new skates here after not skating seriously for about 40 yrs. Oh how things have changed!) read more

Excellent customer support. Any time my daughter skates have to be adjusted Greg has done a great job.

I love this skate shop! Greg is such a professional. He really knows his craft. My daughter recent got a new pair of edea ice fly skates and a new pair of Gold seal John Wilson Revolution blades at another location and needed her blade mount adjusted. Greg got us right in and adjusted her mount perfectly, efficiently and accurately. Her left skate feels so much better now. Thank you so much Greg!! We will be returning to your shop again soon. I highly recommend this place!! read more

I always had excellent service when I got my skates here as a kid in the 90s. I recently bought my first adult pair here, as I started skating again with my own kids, and the service is still just as excellent. Everyone who helped me was knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. They spent a considerable amount of time customizing the fit, ensuring that my skates are perfect for me. read more

We were referred to Ice house by my daughter's figure skating coach. We knew we were in good, capable hands right away. You can tell that they are experts at what they do and really know the ins and outs of the business. Not only did they take their time helping us figure it out but they were very patient through it all. Their prices are great and they buy back skates too, which is especially useful and economical for growing feet. Please check them out, you will not regret it. read more

Was referred hear by skate friend of daughter. Went and eager beaver young guy helped and daughter enjoyed fitting/buying experience. Good value and about same price as buying online (which would be no fun). Parking easy too. read more

Wonderful family owned business. Please go here instead of big box stores. You'll get a custom fit and knowledge about skating not found at sporting goods stores or Amazon. Super friendly, helpful staff helped me pick out the perfect set of skates! read more

From the very first time I came here to get myself some figure skates a couple years ago to the last time (which was today!) I have had the best service possible. Greg, who has helped me every time I have been to the Ice House, is super helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and kind, and always goes above and beyond. I bought my first pair of skates second hand and they have been awesome! And the price was fantastic too. Greg found me exactly what I was needing and then he taught me how to put on skates correctly and how to take care of them. He also fitted them beautifully. I bring them here to get sharpened as well, because my coach says that he is the best and knows what he is doing. Very grateful for this local gem of a business, but especially Greg's phenomenal service! read more

Love love love this place. These guys know how to fit skates. They don't care how long it takes - they just want to get the right pair of skates on your child. They will go out of their way to find a used pair of boots, even swapping out blades if necessary. They are willing to talk to your coach on the phone in the middle of a fitting - to make sure you have the right boots and blades on your kid. If you are having trouble with the fit, just go back and they adjust them for you. We go here monthly to have the blades sharpened. I wouldn't trust anyone else to sharpen. read more

MY wife and i took our 10 year old grand daughter to this place the Ice House Sports in Wellesley she is a figure skater she is very good and has a figure skating coach i'm thinking why are we driving one hour to get her skates sharpened by these people, many skaters go there figure skaters, college hockey players, etc, i to also play ice hockey twice a week so since i was there and my hockey bag was in my truck i will have my hockey skates sharpened also so now i do understand why these skaters go there they did a pretty good job and very knowledgeable. read more

I went here to get my figure skates fitted (that were bought elsewhere). I set up an appt and they adjusted my skates for me quickly and accurately. I was getting blisters from my ankle bone hitting the skates and now they are so much better! The guy (sadly I don't know his name) was super nice, knowledgeable and very fast. Also I'm so touched that he did not charge me for the service, even though I bought the skates elsewhere! I will definitely be back for skates for my kids, especially now knowing that if you buy skates from them all adjustments are included. read more

Buying ice skates has never been so fun. After 4 days of having my ear chewed out by my 2.5 year old daughter, I finally decided I wouldn't tease her anymore and just get her some ice skates so that we could go skating. It was a long afternoon, but we couldn't be happier. We first drove down to Dick's sporting goods in Natick. Nothing in toddler size in the ice hockey section... Go to the shoe's section? "Why don't you try upstairs in figure skating?" Ok...sure. After 10 minutes of wandering around, we found an employee. We get to the figure skating section ... and ... nothing in her size. Great... Thanks to Yelp I found Matt and Glenn at Ice House Sports. I can't tell you how welcome we felt while we were inside. They did an excellent job of fitting my daughter and answering any questions. We didn't feel forced to buy anything and they even suggested a used pair as this would be her first. Apparently they'll also buy them back at a very reasonable price when she grows out. I wasn't going to let her have all the fun herself, so I bought a pair too. Oh, their dog is awesome too. I can't recommend these two gentleman and their shop enough. Super awesome guys, and a extremely friendly. Prices are very affordable, and you just can't go wrong. read more

Came here for figure skates and Collin helped me. He was very patient and informative. Didn't feel rushed at all and let me know how to maintain the skates. He adjusted the boots for me so that my feet were comfortable. Easy to find street parking. read more

We brought our kids here to get their first skates. Upon walking in we all immediately felt like we had been coming here for years. The employees were phenomenal, engaging all of us and giving direct attention to the ones being fitted, all while playing with the 3year old. Absolutely no pressure and great advice on fit and style. They adjusted the skates for the perfect fit. We will absolutely be back and will recommend to everyone. My wife and I both commented to one another that it was one of the best buying experiences either of us has ever had. read more

Very nice. Not too hard to find but I knew to look for the basement sign on the side of the building. Very helpful and very quickly sharpened my daughter's skates. We're new to the area so the guy behind the counter gave me some business cards for possible coaches. Plan to go back!!!! read more

I have been coming to Ice House for 27 years ! This place is awesome for getting new and gently used equipment, sharpening and any equipment you need for skating! Glenn is fantastic and knows his stuff. If you have any old skates / blades and want to trade them into a different size, this is the best place! My kids have all been outfitted here. Paul Wylie read more

5 stars with no doubt. Mathew helped to build the boots so carefully to make it a perfect fit. Good fitting is so important in skating. I can hardly get such a good pair from online shopping. It absolutely deserve a visit for who are searching good skates. read more

We have been regular customers for way too long. Dropped in to get some skates sharpened today. Shocked to see the new open space and background music. Stayed long enough to use the new wifi too. Best customer service ever! read more

The whole team at Ice House is amazing. So knowledgeable..... very patient..... and understanding of our budget limits. We are big fans of their trade-in and used skate programs. They have taken amazing care of my 7 yo for the last 3 years as she has transformed from a beginning skater to a single jump competitor. read more

Wonderful service! I went in today looking for a new pair of skates for my 2 different sized feet. Matt (I think)was amazingly patient, listened to my feedback and made multiple adjustments. It took 2+ hours but I never felt hurried. He was incredibly patient and I walked out with a pair of new skates that fit both my difficult to fit feet. It was worth the 90 minute drive and I won't hesitate to come back for the next pair. read more

Need skates? Need skates sharpened? Need accessories or maybe just advice on skates? Head to the Ice House. Service is great, and they are knowledgable about style, fit, etc. They are in the basement so the entrance is around the side of the building. Good selection of quality skates; extensive inventory of used skates for kids. Friendly, knowledgable and GREAT servce. Time to hit the ice! read more

These guys know there business and will take as long as necessary to make sure you get exactly what you need. Top notch customer service and took the time to get my first new skates in years (Jackson Freestyle) to fit exactly right. I can only second what everyone else has said. It is absolutely worth however many hours you have to drive to get here (2 hrs each way for me). read more

Love this family run business. It is tucked away in the downstairs of a small building so if it is your first time keep your eyes peeled and be on the look out, it is just before city sport. Everyone there is so willing to help and work together. They have been in the business for a long time and know what they are talking about. If you are looking for new or used skates or need your blades sharpened this is the place to go! read more

So knowledgeable about skating and skate fitting! My skates were bothering me, so uncomfortable and preventing me from enjoying skating. I brought them here and they stretched them for me now they are great. Also have great used skates for purchase. My daughter bought a gently used pair with great blades. They do the very best skate fittings anywhere!! read more

Brought my grandson to the Ice House to trade in his current skates for a larger size. First thing they did was to make sure that his current skates were to small. Turns out the inner sole of one skate was wrinkled causing them to feel tight. They straighten the inner sole and and enlarged the area by the pinky toes free of charge. My grandson says the skates feel great and he's skating much better. Found it so refreshing they never tried to sell us new skates and were extremely helpful. read more

Amazing experience getting my two kids fitted for skates! Can't say enough about this team! Thank you for making it easy and FUN!

Great guys! Fitted my figure skater in no time flat and so sweet and fun to work with. Customers for life!

The Ice house never fails to sharpen your skates less than perfect. They are very knowledgeable and amazing at sizing and fitting skates (hockey or figure skates). They have a great selection of used skates as well as new skates. You feel very welcome because Glenn and the boys put in the effort to remember your name and initiate conversations. Never been to a better skate sharpening shop and always love going in. read more

I am from Western, MA. I am a figure skater who travels a lot to NY and CT for coaching and ice time. I also travel out to Wellesley to get my skates sharpened, to buy skates and other products. Throughout spending my time in Ice House and traveling to different rinks I can say there are many others who travel far and wide for these guys. I know quite a few people in the Albany, NY area who travel 3-4 hours one way because they trust Ice House so much. The prices are unbeatable, the services you get with your products you will never find anywhere else, and if you ever have a problem (which is rare), or have a problem from a different skate shop they are more then willing to help. They just renovated their store and it looks fantastic!! Everyone who works here knows what they are doing and can help you out if you have been skating for years or just starting out. As a coach and a skater I send all skater to Ice House. read more
