    Owner's daughter's car is consistently parked in a fire zone during every morning public session. She apparently think she's above the law, makes up reasons to "ban" people from the facility, and does not honor the City of Kent's Senior Skate program at all - no sign in, no age check or showing of ID. This facility would benefit from ownership that is free from nepotism. The only reason I skate there is because of the free ice they are required to provide via their contract with the City of Kent, but they don't even honor that.

    THey have alot to do here! putt putt golf, batting cages, ice skating, hockey, they are also connected to baseball fields and a kids park. they also offer rental equipment for everything. Service was friendly and if you okay golf you get a chance to win a free game by playing their plinko board.

    First time ice skating!

    We had a blast ice skating for the first time! The facility is very clean, the staff is super friendly and informative, and most of all it was a blast!

    I've been to this rink twice- The first time, I came with some friends a few weeks ago and decided to rent some ice skates because I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to buying a pair of my own yet. I'm an avid roller skater and have well over a thousand dollars worth of skating gear, and couldn't justify spending more on a whole other hobby. Let me tell you, the rental skates were so bad they actually cut my foot right open after only 10 minutes of skating because of the friction from the hard plastic. Apparently most rink rentals suck, so I just took my L and bought my own skates for next time. The second reason I gave this place 4 stars is because it's SO expensive. Maybe I'm spoiled because roller skating rinks are less than $10 for entry *per session*, but paying $20 for just one hour and 15 minutes is wild to me. I asked around and my figure skating friends tell me this is a bit steep for most ice skating rinks in general. As for the rink itself, the staff are kind and professional. It's the only rink in the area open for public skate during COVID and even though they don't require masks, everyone is socially distanced well and wears them anyway. There was also only two other people on the ice the first visit, and about 7/8 on the second visit. You get plenty of room to fall all over the place, which is nice! Overall, I would definitely come back again if it weren't so ridiculously expensive. I also realized that I'm not a fan of such a cold indoor space (I couldn't feel my hands after an hour, but it's literally a room full of ice so that can't be avoided.) If you decide to come, bring your own skates and budget for it if you're bringing kids...and also bring gloves!

    Sign on door saying no "pets" however a SERVICE DOG is not a pet.

    Went to watch a hockey game with my SERVICE DOG on 8/14 and they asked me to leave. Stating that they had a no "pets or service animal" policy. After telling them I know my rights as a disabled person, the employee let me know that the manager has their "own rules" and i would need to contact them. But i was interfering with HIS JOB (we were just sitting on the concrete steps. My SERVICE DOG laying down at my feet) and he couldn't do anything for me. After leaving a voicemail on both numbers given I have still not received a call back!!!! So just incase anyone needs their SERVICE DOG with them at all times. This is NOT THE PLACE. Will never be coming back and spreading the word about the ILLEGAL injustice that happened. I attached photos of their signs stating no pets but A SERVICE DOG IS NOT A PET. If I do not get a response back I am going to be contacting the Better Buisness Bureau due to getting discriminated against due to my disability.

    On a whim, I bought a Groupon for this place on Black Friday and visited here because it was about to expire. When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were funneled into a line where the cashier deals with one party at a time before you can enter through the gate. It wasn't too long of a wait to speak with her, but I felt bad for the long line that starting forming behind us. She was very helpful. We just had to pay sales tax (never had a Groupon deal make me pay sales tax when I arrived, so that was a little weird). The staff member at the skate rental place was super friendly and nice. Quite frankly, these were some of the worst skates I've ever put my feet in. I used to skate competitively as a kid, so I had my own skates and unfortunately outgrew then. The skates felt like stiff plastic containers for your feet. It was so painful to skate around, so I went back to the skate rental counter and asked for another pair. The guy said he only had that one type of skate but could help me find another pair or a slightly bigger size. Neither one did the trick, so since it was so painful on my feet, I just put my shoes back on and let my boyfriend skate around on his own. Even those temporary skate rinks that go up in parks have more comfortable skates! Anyway, the facility seemed really nice. There's ample viewing areas and an upstairs cafe. It was off putting that the only restroom was upstairs at the back of the cafe. I would think there should be one more accessible near the ice rink. The cafe upstairs was absolutely horrible. I very rarely give low ratings to places because I like giving people the benefit of the doubt and have worked at a restaurant before, but this place was ridiculous. The cashier was extremely rude and very slow to take orders. There was only one person in front of us, and she had to call someone else over to help her figure out how much change to give back to the customer. It took forever! Then, she wasn't very nice to my boyfriend or me. We wanted just mozzarella sticks without a pound of fries, but they can't sell it by itself... So we just ordered tacos instead. The tacos took about 20 minutes to get to us, and they were horribly over fried. I would be better off going to Taco Bell (and I really dislike Taco Bell). It was $10 for 3 tacos and a soda, and it was definitely not worth it. All of the food on the menu was pretty over priced, but that's what you get at these types of places. Just really horrible service. I tried connecting to the wifi using the posted password in the cafe, and it never worked. There was barely any cellphone reception inside. Overall, pretty negative experience. I'll be skating at the Renton ice rink from now on.

    This email was sent from Kent Valley Ice Rink, threatening retaliation online reviews. They retaliated by calling CPS on more than 1 mother.

    We celebrated my son's 6th birthday at Monster Mini Golf and it was absolutely AMAZING!…read more From the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. They made everything smooth and stress-free for us parents -- which is such a gift on a birthday party day! The kids were beyond excited about the glow-in-the-dark monsters, neon lights, and the fun spooky-but-not-scary vibe. Watching their faces light up as they played mini golf under the glowing colors was priceless. They didn't want to leave! It was the perfect mix of fun, energy, and organization. If you're planning a birthday party for your little one, I truly recommend this place. Thank you for helping us create such special memories for our son's big day!

    I love mini golf and have previously been to a Monster mini in another location. When my friends…read moresuggested we get together to run the course I was all in. Located inside Factoria Mall, the venue is large, with an arcade and prize game area in front of the mini golf course. My friends eagerly played some games to win novelty toys and tried the cotton candy maker. I played some pinball so if any of this sounds fun in addition to golfing, they have it here. The course as expected has about 16 holes, all with varying lengths, obstacles and angles. It's a lot of fun lining up different putts. The decor has a sort of comedic-horror art with a Washington theme and other mechanical props to add to the fun and ambience. The snag? The same issue I have at most mini golf places, people start to get bunched up behind you because their playing too fast/making their own rules or whatever. Were we playing too slow? Maybe. There were four of us and we played as quickly as we could but alas... Even the staff girl told us we're capped at 5 swings a piece at one point before we need to move on. Needless to say, by the end we had several impatient people waiting behind us. I know this isn't Monsters fault per se, but I repeatedly saw kids just putting the ball near the hole for easy shots to go faster or smaller children crying and jumping random holes out of order. Would love to do it again but perhaps on a weekday or a morning when there is less crowds.

    I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I was completely blown away…read more From the moment we walked in, the level of professionalism and cleanliness stood out, especially for a kids' arcade and activity center. Everything felt well run and thoughtfully managed. One thing that really impressed me as a parent was the staff member monitoring the entrance and exit. He was incredibly attentive. He recognized us, noticed our child, and was clearly keeping track of who was coming and going. Of course, you should always watch your own kids, but having someone that alert adds a huge layer of peace of mind. We used a Groupon, and if you have ever used one, you know it can sometimes be a hassle, but not here. The process was seamless. A staff member radioed ahead for us, and by the time we got to the snack counter, they already knew what to do. No waiting, no confusion. We were set up immediately and on our way. That level of coordination was impressive. Every game we tried was working perfectly, including VR games, which is rare in most arcades. Even smaller details, like all the basketballs being available at the Papa Shot machines, did not go unnoticed. The kids' drop ride was a huge hit with my daughter, and the claw machines, which guarantee a prize, were a fun bonus, especially as a way to end the visit on a high note. The prize center was also well balanced, with reasonable ticket costs and fun options. They had some great games too, like rhythm games and classics, that made it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The real surprise was the food. We ordered pizza expecting typical arcade food, but it exceeded expectations by a mile. It was soft, fresh, and genuinely delicious, easily better than what you would find at places like Chuck E. Cheese. The entire dining area was spotless, which is almost unheard of in venues like this. Tables were clean. Floors were clean. Everything felt cared for. The service continued to impress throughout. Our food came out quickly, and when we finished, the staff handled all the cleanup. We actually went out of our way to find cash just to leave a tip because the service deserved it. We originally came for the full experience, including batting cages, laser tag, go karts, and mini golf, but honestly, even before doing any of that, I can confidently say this place is incredibly well run. Based on everything we experienced, I have no doubt the rest will be just as great. If you are a parent looking for a fun, safe, and well managed place for your kids that you will actually enjoy too, this is it.

    We had a great time checking this out with friends. Lots to do with kids and it really is set up to…read morelet them mill about the space. There is a dining option available on site and the food/concessions is good for what it is. The age range of kids we saw is all over the place which is good if you have a mixed age group but also, if you're looking for something for a specific age group, you may be out of luck. This place gives Dave and Buster vibes but has both and indoor and outdoor component. You can earn tickets to redeem for items and I was quite surprised about how big of a venue was here. It was rainy and we stay indoors so I can't really comment on the outdoor components. Overall, I'd come back but it's not my "go-to" for indoor gaming/food activity.

    My kids have been coming here for years, long before the new ownership. I hear they're doing some…read morerenovations, which are long overdue. Very good family friendly spot and they do what they can with the space they have. The only downside is the consistent lack of food/snacks/games. 1/3 or or more of the very few games they have are ALWAYS out of order. The food is not always good and very often sold out as they don't make much during sessions -they mostly reserve the pizza just for the rooms. The candy machines are awful - all the decent stuff is regularly empty and the full sided candy they offer is about 3-4x the size price (i.e., the really small bag of lays is $3). Plus I once bought a candy bar there for my kid and the chocolate looked and tasted old, which means their stock rarely moves. Also, would be great if they offered some adult beverages on tap. FYI, it's never a "true" experience here unless u catch a glimpse of the older white gentlemen casually solo out dancing everyone on the rink. I think I will nickname him "White Lightning".

First of all, the music never stopped. It just flowed from one song to the other. It slowed down to let people rest while skating. Then after a while he gradually picked up the beat until people were up bouncing again. You cannot buy that type of skill...you have to have some YEARS & Experience on you to learn that! ElCentro skating rink was friendly & Inviting with security on campus. Free ice water at the snack bar. Newly renovated bathrooms. Nice rental skates & blades. Tables, chairs and rental lockers for those who need them. There is a small arcade for the kids but I did not use. My girls ordered fries, "They were perfectly salted." Painted murals on the walls with the color scheme nicely done. They have a skate store where you can buy stuff. I noticed a prize ticket store for the arcade. If you want an upgrade to your regular skate night, and if you are grown, choose to go to Adult Skate 18+ and have a great time.
