Not real ice, of course: wax boards covered with dish soap of sorts. But in this sunshine, real ice would melt in a heartbeat. There were enough "skaters helpers" for beginners, and the cost is SO AFFORDABLE for family fun. They are open CHRISTMAS and 12/26 at half price ($8/person). Come here after opening gifts and wear your kids out before heading to the movies. Even the portapotties were clean and zero smell, guys.

The small bowl didn't have water in it today. Upon closer inspection of the other bowl, there was also a dead animal.

It felt really refreshing spending time at Harbor City Recreation Center when I visited with…read moresomeone, because the whole place has this open, energetic atmosphere that teenagers would enjoy a lot. The fields and courts looked so inviting, and I noticed right away how many teenagers were hanging out there, playing basketball, skating around, or just relaxing with their friends in a way that made the whole area feel lively and welcoming. What surprised me the most was how easy it was to move from one activity to another without anything feeling crowded or rushed, which makes it a perfect spot for teenagers who like having space to be active and creative. Even though I had been aware of this recreation center before, I didn't realize how much there was to appreciate until I walked around and saw how naturally people were having fun there. I really liked how comfortable it felt to just enjoy the environment without any pressure, and how the whole place seemed designed for people to make their own kind of fun. I never doubted that the experience was going to turn out the way I hoped it would. I only visited Harbor City Recreation Center one time in my life before making this review, but it stood out to me as one of the most enjoyable and easygoing public spaces I've been to in a long time, and I would highly recommend that even teenagers go there because it gives them a place to play, hang out, stay active, and feel free to be themselves.

This is a great place for Ice Skating lessons both Hockey and Figure Skating…read more Great for children / kids both boys and girls of all ages. The practice open public skate hours are posted and it's good place to ice skate and they also have private parties for kids birthday celebrations you can book. The instructors are friendly as well as work well with kids and groups of children. I think they also offer private lessons too. There is an in-house pro-shop selling ice skating gear including hockey equipment. Yes! The NHL's Los Angeles Kings appeared on 02/22/26 Sunday midday around 10am-12 noon for practice and the public viewing was free too! That's always a bonus pleasant surprise.

I've been coming here regularly for the past month while my child participates in the Learn to…read moreSkate program. We typically arrive early, grab a snack from the café, and have generally enjoyed our experience. Today, however, we had to stop by the front office for assistance. Unfortunately, the staff member who helped me, whose name I did not catch, but who has very distinctive half-blonde, half-black hair, came across as rude and condescending. My child had forgotten his lanyard, so we asked for a temporary tag, something we've done before without issue. Beyond this interaction, there was a noticeable sense of entitlement in the overall environment. When I visited the ProStride store, I was the only customer present, yet there was no greeting or acknowledgment. When I asked for assistance, it felt reluctant and forced, as though helping was an inconvenience. As someone who works as a Director of Member Services, I was disappointed by these experiences. Front-facing staff set the tone for an organization, and today's interactions did not reflect the welcoming, family-friendly environment one would expect, especially in a space that serves children and families.

The all-day pass is $30, which I thought was a great value since you can come and go and spend hours there if you want. My little one had an amazing time running around and jumping in all of the different bounce houses.

The staff were very friendly and were seen cleaning up after the kids to keep the area as clean and neat as you possibly could. Would definitely recommend and come here again!!

This place used to be a go to for us and our kids. But after today it looks like they're really not…read moretending to it like they had in the past. We spent $60 on admission and $75 on food for my mom, myself, my daughter, and nephew. The food used to be soooooo good and now it's just okay- not bad but not great like it used to be. The toys & areas had ripped books, chipped paint, was just not in goood condition/ which for the cost, it absolutely should be better. The thing that really got to me was the fact that we picked the 4-7 pm slot. As soon as it hit 6 pm, they turned the music completely off and turned off some of the lights... it was so dreary that I assumed it was almost 7, but to my surprise barely six! It's a quiet "I'm done with the day so please leave" and honestly 100% the reason we will not be back. If I paid for a 3 hour experience that cost an arm and a leg/ don't make us feel uncomfortable for the last hour. It was awkward and rude and I could see the employee in the corner just waiting for us to leave. Such a bummer because we have been going since it opened- literally was one of the first people to go. We recently had a baby and wanted to wait for her to get her vaccines before taking her to kids spaces, we got my daughter so excited to go today and just felt so bad when we left. Like a disappointment for her & a waste of money for us There's also exposed cords & outlets which is not safe. The outlets alongside the seats are very easy for babies to dig into. The cords above the ball pit seems like a huge liability??
