    I wish I would have taken pics of just the views so I zoomed in a bit on this one

    What a great way to spend time during the holidays. The ice skating rink is set up with a perfect backdrop of the city especially in the evening/night. The ice is not prepped and monitored so definitely skate at your own risk. They have a sign to remind you before you step in. The ice was a bit frosty and dips in places that you will see as you look down so be careful. Luckily we did not trip, but we definitely saw some epic falls. No worries they got up and went at it again. The entrance fee includes the rental skates. The skates are not the most comfortable and start hurting after a few rounds around the rink. There wasn't much support for the feet. The fee we paid was $15/person so we can't expect to have the best of the best skates. When we made the reservation the costs was different for different times of the day, and if I remember correctly the lowest was $15 and highest was $26. They had plenty of areas to sit and leave your shoes unattended. I'm not saying someone would come around and start taking other people shoes ( it didn't happen), but it did cross my mind. I did enjoy my time, and we would have stayed longer if the skates were more comfy.

    Definitely a fun experience! I will say if the quality of the ice is not great its similar to a crushed ice snow cone which makes it very difficult to actually skate no matter your skill level. However it was still tons of fun and lots of laughs! You need to buy your tickets ahead of time online and the earlier you buy them the lower the price. Each person needs their own ticket and it does include the skate rentals. The skates are however veryyy uncomfortable, hard plastic with an unnaturally high arch that makes it painful after about 15 minutes.

    Pool of water

    Bathrooms were out of order and not allow to use the Long Center, ice full of water. Waste of money and very disappointing!

    The line...

    There was a long line that we had to wait in for 1 1/2 and only one person working the booth. We had or skate time scheduled for 7 and didn't get on the ice till 9:15. At 9 you only have 45 mins... Although you can come back and use your ticket later they said. Still sucks. $30 is honestly overpriced for how small the rink is and the fact that you only get "an hour" on ice.

    Quite exquisite ice this evening. A wonderful winter festivity for all to enjoy! Made even better that it was a fun time!!!

    Had a great time during the Saturday open skate session from 10:30-11:30. The staff was friendly,…read morewasn't too busy and they had skates for myself / toddler. After the open skate, we hung out in the upper level and watched the next group take the rink.

    Are you a dare devil? I tend not to be. In life, I tend to take the safe route...the tried and true…read morepath. However, as I get older and wiser, I tend to branch out in my date Devil adventures...ever so slightly. On my bucket list for a date devil adventure is jumping from a plane. I'm not there yet for parachuting out of a plane. Today, was the big day for what I consider a dare devil adventure.... Ice skating. In my head I repeated this mantra.... Let's go, let's go, let's go!!! You got this. So, sheepishly I walk up to the counter and ask how much the entry fee was...$20 including skates... not cheap but not crazy expensive either. Ok. You can do this. I ask if I sit outside before I go on the ice. No problem the skate representative said. The fee included skating to 1 pm today. I had plenty of time to muster up my courage. Then my mind started to swirl and then spin...fast and faster! Next, I was in a full on Exorcist head turning moment. Girlie, you no spring chicken any more. You are not twenty years old. Why is it so cold in here? Why does it feel like ice is flowing through my veins? Remember when you broke your little toe in two places...exercising.... Ugly boot for three months...no heels for 1.5 years. Run Delores run!!! Your birthday is next month. Do you want to flat heels for your birthday. Nooooooooooooo!!! I jumped up and bolted out of Chaparral Ice like I was being chased my hungry pack of wolves. I applaud myself for trying to be adventurous today. However, I'm not quite there yet. Maybe after my birthday....

    I was invited to a birthday party that included ice skating, party room, snowball fight experience…read moreand the service of staff making sure the client had everything for their birthday party going and flowing. Didn't know about this place and they offer a lot of activities. Its a big place with multiple rinks, seating areas, party rooms, and soccer fields outside. They had this cotton candy machine that makes cotton candy into certain shapes and you can choose. My grandson enjoyed that alot. He actually enjoyed it more than we thought. He had his grandpa going to check out the different hockey games going on and watching the people ice skate. Note: it gets cold in there because they have to keep the ice frozen so bring along a warm sweater or jacket to be comfortable especially if you're usually cold. I definitely recommend this place. They also have a special events and public skating times. I plan I checking out one of those events. Im glad we had the opportunity to check this place out.

    Good ice rink overall because the facility is new and the ice is nice, but unfortunately, it feels…read morelike they don't care much about public skaters. They have two rinks, yet they seem to prioritize hockey, leaving very limited time for public skating. There is often only ONE public skating session per day, despite having two rinks. They also no longer have the Saturday afternoon public skating sessions they used to offer. The public skating schedule is very unpredictable. The last couple of times, they've had sessions on Friday and Sunday, but oftentimes they don't. This makes it really difficult to plan ahead. It feels like hockey is taking over both rinks, while public skaters are being pushed aside. It's disappointing because this is a great, newer facility, but the lack of consistent public skating hours makes it difficult for people who just want to skate recreationally.

    We love it here! Such friendly staff and so personable…read more We have had the lessons as well and absolutely love the teachers! My daughter gets better every weekend and I have a blast with my 80's flashbacks as I also skate! Such fun! Oh I need to mention the food as well, not terrible expensive and actually pretty darn good. We will continue to go because we love a great time! Aloha

    Went here a couple years ago for my kid's best friend's birthday party. I hadn't planned to review…read moreit, but Yelp thinks I ought to and reminded me to do it despite this being back in 2023. The rink itself is badly maintained and the wheels of their skates catch repeatedly on the dented, cracked wood. Every member of staff we interacted with, from the woman who manages the place to the guy renting skates and the girl serving food, was so rude and indifferent. The floor and tables were filthy as if they'd never washed, pizza was dry and gross, and it was just overall a lousy experience. You also can't pay with anything but cash. This place has outlived its nostalgia value and really needs either a full overhaul or to be shut down. My daughter wants her own skate party this year and we're driving down to Austin instead. I'd never recommend Wheels for parties or even a casual skate, it's just dreadful and unpleasant inside with the smell and age, like it was frozen in the 90s.
