There are lockers to put you shoes and valuables, and you can pay $2 for a lock. This is a great event for the family, but please wear your masks. It was not enforced here.

For years, I've always wanted to come and bring my daughter here. We finally came; I was…read moredisappointed because the ice was VERY wet. I'm talking puddles of water. The bottom of everyone's pants were soaked. If you fell, it was over for you; you're soaking wet (which happened to me). Don't make dinner plans after skating here; you're going to need to go home and change out of your wet clothes. I've been to places where they clear the ice and scrape/smooth it every couple hours or whatever. But they don't do that here, I guess. My daughter still had a ton of fun, even though she was shivering the whole time from her clothes being wet.

I came with my friends for one of the special summer events and got free skate rentals from…read moredressing in patriotic colours that day :) I'm no pro-skater, while my best friend had taken lessons years before (so basically pro in my book), and the fact that both of us really had a lot of fun shows that Tri Valley Ice is good for the novice and seasoned skater out there. The ice is pretty sturdy, and the railing around the side is safe for all the beginner skaters out there (like myself) who spend the first ten minutes stubbornly clinging to the edge from fear. There's also a lot of bucket towers provided that beginner skaters can use to lean on while they skate. I liked that there were two medium-sized rinks, so you could easily transfer from one to the other if the rink you're on had too many people zooming around. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, and overall it was a great experience! (Skate rentals are $5 and entry is $10)

im being generous with 2 stars. wanted to try out a new rink than the one i usually go to and it…read morewas a horrible experience and complete waste of money sadly. the ice was jagged and difficult to skate on. the rental boots were absolute garbage, they were bent and i had to trade for a new pair a few times because i quite literally couldn't skate. the place was packed and extremely chaotic, ive never seen a place as chaotic as this one. there was no order on the rink nor outside of the rink where parents were standing. it was an absolute jungle. people were chipping ice off the rink and throwing it at people. i will never return to this rink again.

Skate Escape is located inside the mall, right next to a small video game arcade. I was informed by…read morestaff that a "skating with love" community event was happening. There was no charge to skate, though the skating pass price of $12 posted online is not bad, especially without the $3 skate rental cost (since I have my own rollerblades). This place is quite simple. A small shoe cubbies storage unit against the wall, a few seats and tables outside the rink, a restroom in the back, socks and snacks (water, chips, gatorade) sold behind the counter, and friendly staff making everyone feel welcome. The rink had a smooth and sturdy surface, creating an ideal skating experience. It was surrounded by plexiglass, able to withstand the barrage of kids crashing into the walls. Tiny disco balls hung from the ceiling, along with colorful decorative string lights. Mainly hip hop and rnb music played through the speakers, a song list including Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder, I Want To Be Your Man by Zapp, and Don't Stop Til You Get Enough by the king of pop. The skating rink was small but never felt crowded. There was plenty of space to glide freely, and it was easy to dodge the kids. Even the skate aids didn't take up a lot of space or get in the way. It was a pleasant experience, a carefree atmosphere with everyone just having a good time. Skate Escape was a great option for a rainy day activity to enjoy while in the area.

The staff is very very friendly and the space is huge! Very fun and unique place to throw a kids birthday party, which we did! The little room in the back where you throw parties was able to comfortably accommodate our party of 16 although most of the time the kids were busy skating in the main area. It was affordable to rent the room and they are lenient on the type of food you could bring in etc. place was high energy and the music selection is the bomb! We will be throwing many more parties in the future!

There's an outdoor restroom (2) and 2 porto potty as well. They're good for parties. They accommodated my sister in law for her daughter's birthday. There's lots of tables and chairs and benches. We had a big tent all to ourselves because no one else reserved. We had the tent for 2 hours and came 30 minutes to set up. There's lots of people but not crowded at all. You don't have to make reservation and just look for empty benches and set up there too if you'd like. You can bring your own drinks and food. There's lots of parking and their location is close to a lot of restaurants. It was very cold so I suggest to bundle up.

The bathrooms are well kept and lots of comfortable seating to watch the skaters but the customer…read moreservice at the counter is less than optimal for a business. I have patronized other local skating rinks and have never been treated with such disrespect. I took a large group to the rink to in order to support my city and give my group an opportunity to experience an activity that many had never experienced. The overall experience was changed from positive to negative when one of the members in our group was told that she had two different sized skates and they would not return her shoes until she could produce the other set of mismatched skates. This person is very shy and unable to advocate for herself so I intervened. The manager and employee insisted that we must have the other pair of mismatched skates even after we checked and told them everyone else in our group had returned their skates. Then suggested this person sat by someone and they had put on the wrong size skate even though the person seated next to them was someone in our group. The manager and employee were unwilling to budge and demanded we pay for a new pair of skates ($125) if we could not produce the other mismatched skates. They were very rigid and unwilling to consider that they may have made a mistake when they gave out the skates. After about 30 minutes, I was finally able to locate another patron (they cleared the ice and asked people to approach counter if they wore that size shoe but I had to go around and ask total strangers) who also was mystified by the mix up. They never appologized or acknowledged the error. Because of this mix up we were late getting everyone to the next location where parents were waiting for their kids. My advice to you check the bottom of the skates before skating or risk paying for a new pair of skates. Tip for this owner don't always assume someone is trying to cheat you. Back in the day the customer was always right or at least given the benefit of the doubt.

I went to The Rink today As soon as I walked in the door,…read morethe staff greeted me with a hello welcome in. I have an ostomy bag due to cancer and nervously I asked a gentleman (maybe the owner) "Is it okay that I use the rest room with my ostomy." Not only did he say yes but he offered to let me use the staff, if I needed. I didn't need to use it after all but it was so nice and refreshing knowing that he offered. Thank you so much, I will be visiting again and telling everyone that I know about your courtesy service (hopefully w/o my ostomy)

Being that this spot was outdoors and holiday themed, it was crowded with lots of families and little ones. I usually go to Dublin Iceland for normal outings, so this was a nice holiday change. I don't like the skates as much though for that reason, I highly recommend still getting your own skates if you're a skater or would like to learn because it will be easier in my opinion to get a boot that fits you well and that laces up. That's my only grip, lol.

Such a fun time of year to go ice skating as we begin the holiday season. Parking can be…read morechallenging in the limited parking lot near by. Other than this, it was very festive especially with a DJ playing music and food, wine & Bundt cakes & a fire pit to make s'mores. The rink is a bit small bc of the skate walkers & trying to dodge a group of skaters with these walkers was a bit hard. Also, the ice seemed a little over due for a Zamboni resurfacing due to the many divots on the ice. I really enjoyed the inner tube ride, it had a nice slope to it so that I could glide quickly down that ramp. I had a fun time at Walnut Creek on Ice & would come back again.
