We have been coming here a few times a week for the last couple of years - great ice and nice…read morestaff. I normally judge a hockey rink on their ice smoothness and the stock of their concession stands - so this place is pretty great. How can you go wrong with a $1 cup of noodles?? Every game we have been to has always been on time and the staff ensures that the scheduled games are kept on track. The locker rooms are also fairly kept up with and you can always see someone cleaning up to ensure it's nice and tidy.

Public skating here is fine…read more I have had nothing but bad experiences in the programs for learning to play hockey that my kids have participated in, culminating in my son's attempt to play in what they called a developmental league. There were maybe 15 kids in the program, with no teams, bad coaches, and no communication. My attempts to learn more and eventually get a refund went unheeded for weeks. Note that the various hockey clubs that use the rink may be different and are not run directly by the rink.

Disclaimer: this review is from the perspective of a parent of a youth amateur hockey player…read more This ice rink has a lot going for it: aestheticly nice, well lit, nice dressing rooms, good ice surface, and ample parking. But aside from the ample parking, what matters to me? Coffee. And this place has vending machine coffee and no snackbar. Blech. A positive is the temperature inside the rink. While decidedly cool, it isn't a meat locker and that's important when you are essentially stationary for an hour. It has a 100% functioning scoreboard, also a huge nice to have. On the downside, the players benches and penalty box obscure the view along the boards. Rinks where the benches are opposite the bleachers are better. If f this place had fresh coffee I would give the rink 4 stars - but they don't so they get a 3.

Great place!! Really love the 70s, 80s theme here!! Extremely friendly place, they always do fun…read moregames for kids and adults, they have this AWESOME disco ball in the center. Theres arcade games, snacks and drinks as refreshments and it's very cheap!! The only negative things are the bathrooms and hours you get to actually skate. It is not open very long, usually from 7-9 on weekends, but is for sure worth the experience and more than enough for me. The bathrooms are not the cleanest looking or appealing to the eye.

The customer service we received was wonderful even from the owner's daughter! I paid twice the price to have a party at another skating rink so I was shocked when I got my bill. Our birthday experience was great and cant wait to do it again. Also, we do an event for suicide awareness and they were so gracious as to do free passes and a raffle basket.

Had called a month before to book a party they only had couple time slots open one being 9am…read more Called the day before the party to confirm the time and to find out what time we could show up to set up for the party but when I showed up for my daughter 6th birthday party they said the reservation was for 9pm( reminder this is a party for 6 year olds) not for 9am even though I confirmed it the day before on the time and when to show up to set up. But this wasn't my main issue of course it play a big part but the issue was the lady working was probably one of the rudest people I have ever met just because of her alone I will never recommend anyone to go to this place or to ever spend another dime there again. There was zero reason for her to be so rude and disrespectful when all we was trying to figure out was what happen and why her party wasn't when it was confirmed to be at.
