If you are into skating you might dig this place. The surface is concrete that is petty sanded but…read moreis not slick like a normal wood surface. There is a clearly marked building where you can rent skates. The whole area is quite expansive with the outer ribbon to skate and 2 big round areas at each end. There is still plenty of things to fall against so if you are not good bring pads! There was also quite a few of inline skaters but most everyone was friendly. Elsewhere around the skating place there is tons of green space room to get away and relax.

Fantastic skating experience! My only drawback was the uncomfy skates, but I think a good couple of…read morepairs of thick socks should help with that. They had skate helpers skating the whole time to make sure everyone stayed safe. We spent an hour skating around and having winter fun! Pro tip: get your own skates, which would be more comfy, and FREE!

Got new roller skates for Christmas and was beyond pumped to try them out. So, I finally convinced…read morea friend to join me for Retro Night at Skate City on Tuesday, 8 to 11 PM, where they spin all the best 70s, 80s, and 90s jams. The cost? $11. I laced up those beauties and skated like a pro--no falls, no wobbles, just pure smooth moves...for a solid two hours. Then I took a break to chat by the wall, and wouldn't you know it, that's when gravity reminded me who's boss. Down I went, wrist first. Yep, broken wrist and surgery two days later. But honestly? Totally worth it. The music was blasting, the vibes were immaculate, and for a couple of hours, I was living my best retro dream. Once this wrist heals and I get myself a brace, you better believe I'll be back rolling and rocking those skates. Skate City's Retro Night = a blast. Just maybe bring some wrist guards... or maybe just don't stop to chat!

We had a blast at the UNO Hockey game the other night, even though Minnesota won. I've been here…read moreonce before for a graduation, but this was the first time for a hockey game! Plenty of ways to get in and it was nice a quick. We took some time to walk around and check everything out from different spots and there were very few locations that wouldn't be good to sit at! It was nice that they had a lot of local vendors and options instead of just name brand big brands for food and drinks too!

Fantastic venue for LOVB Nebraska volleyball. Easy to get around. Good choice of food and drink…read morevendors. Would be 5 stars, but the prices for food, drinks and beer are a lot.

Just an awesome ice-skating rink/loop and venue for everybody! Skate rentals available on site…read more Plenty of grab bars for anyone that's feeling a little insecure. This year-round facility offers ice-skating in winter months and rollerskating in nicer weather. Plenty of places to people watch. Located next to the ConAgra campus and near the old market allows for plenty of restaurant food options before and/or after a little fresh air. Metered street (free on Sundays and holidays) and nearby garage parking is available. Recommend this venue for a little bit of outdoor fun! Open daily after 11 AM, check website for any updates.

I look forward to this event every year!…read more If you don't know this is a month long charity event held downtown. It supports the food banks and money raised from the rink goes to feed hungry mouths. Each ticket is $5 per person even if you bring your own skates. They do accept credit cards and you are encouraged to bring shelf stable items for donations that you put in this big blue bins. Kids under 5 are free. There is a very over priced "cafe" that I've never gotten anything at; a tiny glass of swiss miss cocoa is $2.00. A small hot dog is like $5.00 but I think it comes with chips(?) There are a couple big red tents set up where you can sit and hang out if skating isn't your thing and sometimes they have performances. The photos I uploaded were from one of them. Some of them I think are going to the Olympics they were really good! The cutest one was a who and the Grinch. So adorable!! The rink itself is okay, I wish it was bigger to be honest with you but you do with what you have. I also wish they'd smooth it out more often because after awhile it gets very liquidy and grooved. Makes skating kinda scary if you're like me and very uncoordinated. Be prepared to sign a waiver also, if you hurt yourself don't plan on suing ConAgra or anyone else at this place. If you bring a child you must sign a waiver for them and if you bring someone else's child THEIR parent or legal guardian must sign it and they bring it to the rink. You are not allowed to do it for them. You can download and print the waivers off the website. Again please keep in mind this is a holiday event and for 2014 the hours were: Friday, December 12 through Sunday, January 4, 2015 Sunday - Thursday: 1 - 10 pm Friday & Saturday: 1 pm - midnight Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve: 1 - 5 pm Closed Christmas & New Year's Day To wrap it up, yes it's super fun and I think everyone should at least TRY to ice skate once in their lives. I hug the wall the whole time like a baby but I still have fun doing it.

2 Stars - Great facility and knowledgeable staff, but stick-and-puck experience is frustrating…read more Grover Ice is a really nice rink in many ways. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, which is a huge plus, especially if you're involved in hockey regularly. The facility itself is well designed, and the seating setup is much better than some other local rinks. You can go upstairs and watch the ice from above, which is actually very comfortable and makes it easy to follow what's happening without freezing like you sometimes do at other rinks. They also have food available and even serve alcohol, which adds to the overall experience for parents or spectators. The locker rooms are in much better condition than other local rinks as well. Unfortunately, the biggest issue is their stick-and-puck sessions. They allow coaches to come in and run drills with kids, which essentially takes up half the ice. On top of that, teams sometimes show up and start practicing, which ends up taking over another portion of the rink. They will place an extra net in the middle, but realistically it becomes very difficult to find space to just skate and work on your own skills. Considering what you pay for ice time, it's frustrating when the session turns into a partial team practice instead of open ice. Even more disappointing is that when this concern has been brought up, it doesn't seem like management is particularly interested in addressing it. Grover Ice has a lot going for it as a facility, but the way stick-and-puck is managed makes it hard to justify going if you're hoping for a fair chance to actually skate and practice.

I also love that they have indoor seats, instead of having seats close to the ice. Overall, my favorite rink because of the seating and food/drinks!!

The seats are uncomfortable unless you bring something else to sit on. I also like that you can sit inside so you're not freezing, that's another plus. The seats inside are only in one corner though so being able to see the game the whole time can be hard, keep that in mind. They don't sell any alcohol which isn't the end of the world but would make it better if they did. The people who work there are nice and keep it reasonably clean.

This is great place to go for fun night. The facility is clean and the rental skates kept up well…read more The staff were very friendly. Through the City of Omaha they have a skate date once a year. It was not overly crowded so a good place to take kids just learning or older folks trying to remember how to skate!
