He was hooked on the claw machine with rubber ducks and made me play it over and over to win ducks. I successfully won 6 before we used all the credits. He wanted a purple and brown one and had a meltdown that I couldn't get them for him. The lady at the counter went in the back and got him 1 of each for free and saved the day. Then I went to grab a fountain soda and water. They gave them to me no charge. My son dropped the water immediately and it spilled everywhere. They instantly started preparing another and called for a mop. They were very kind and generous and it really made my night easier. Great people!

I personally like to play laser tag with the kids from time to time, and maybe play a videogame or so. The kids love to get the slushies, especially the large ones in the plastic robot. This is also a great place for parties. Although we have not taken part in their activity nights, they will do events, like a New Years party, etc... where participants have a pre-paid charge and can play as much as they like. This is a great place, certainly underrated, and must do if you like rides, tag, golf, junk food, and games.

This place is a total winner, with more rinks popping up like mushrooms, welcoming skaters of all levels to glide, spin, and show off their stuff. The snack bar crew is always super chill, serving up smiles with their snacks. Just a heads up for the ladies: steer clear of those hideous ice skating dresses they sell - my friend and I still LOL about how fashion-bomb they are...or not!

Synonymous to the Oak Park facility, DSC has a rustic, early American flavour. It's inviting, cozy…read moreatmosphere pulls you in and surrounds you like a big fluffy blanket. To boast three sheets of ice in modern day rinks is almost unheard of. These folks juggle that with no problem. All the ice here is expertly maintained. You'll always hear me bitch at the figure skaters for destroying the ice with toe picks and as such blowing-out the knees of unsuspecting hockey players. Not here. The magicians seem to anticipate this and react accordingly. Smooth sheets. Safe knees! There's a rather large parking area and you'll find quite the variety at the concession stand. Their main lobby also features plenty of bench seating and they have an ample meeting area. The bathrooms are decent but are at the rink ends, not off the main lobby. What few staff you deal with are fabulous and you can still visit Mrs. Jones and her top notch pro shop. While two of the arenas have more than enough bleacher space, the smaller rink needs more seating. That can't (or won't) be changed, sobeit. Costs obviously have increased due to Covid and its tentacles. They do have sophisticated aids and are still the goto for figure skating instruction. Competitive skaters/trainers from all over the world stop here to train. Did you know they have a physical therapy center on site? 06/21

The facility is pretty awesome…read more Inline Hockey Center pretty much always has something going on, and is also home to the Motor City Revive of the National Roller Hockey League. So along with the professional sized inline hockey rink, there is also a smaller rink right behind it that hosts the Michigan Floor Hockey League. I have played here many times, and always have had a fun experience. The facilities are well maintained, the staff is friendly, and the hockey players that I associate with are all top notch people.

I have had my skates sharpened by other people before, and they have nearly ruined my blades-which would be catastrophic for me, as I don't have an extra $600+ lying around for a new set of blades. Louis has been in this for so long that he is impeccable at his craft, and has trained Randy to be equally wonderful. Neither of them have ever made even a slight error with my skates, and I would happily spend whatever is needed to ensure my skates are cared for by them-and I recommend that you do, too!

I explained what was happening and she offered her phone number and asked that I take pictures and send them to her, as I live 45 minutes away. She felt that some adjustments needed to be made so we made an appointment. When we arrived she gave us immediate attention and was able to help fix the problem. She even went above and beyond giving some tips for my daughter after making sure everything was adjusted properly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us. My daughters and myself have been frustrated for months. Now she is back on the ice doing what she loves because of your knowledge, attentiveness to detail and extreme kindness!

He is located within the Detroit Skating Club usually but check his website as he travels to other local rinks twice a month. If you are having an equipment emergency, call him. He does hockey as well obviously.

He was able to adjust her blades in a way that totally changed her speed and power. He is also willing to accommodate emergencies. We were sidelined in a blizzard in Minnesota last week and missed my daughter's skate Sharpening. He answered my message on New Years Day, and came to the shop 2-1/2 hours early this morning to sharpen her skates in time for a competition camp. While I'm sure he accommodates skaters at a much higher level than my daughter, I know that he's made all the difference in the world for us. We appreciate him tremendously.
