    What a wonderful day!!! Let me preface that it was a weekday and we were there EARLY. Also it was not raining and not hot, otherwise this would have been a completely different review. The staff was wonderful, kind and helpful, in particular the ticket lady who helped us figure out that with little ones we only needed the less expensive companion ticket. We came with a 4 and 1 year old and there was so much to see and do! Lots of places to sit throughout the park and many dining options. Not fancy, but clean. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Enjoyed their Atmosfear and Rollercoaster rides a lot! Definitely on the older end of amusement parks but overall still very well maintained. Their food options at the park are also decent. We had a delicious softserve swirl and fresh crispy chicken tenders and curly fries basket. A very fun day out!

    Had a great time at Oaks Park. It's a smaller amusement park out of all of the amusement parks I have been too, but that's one of the reasons I like it. The staff are usually friendly and the lines don't get terribly long with the exception of a couple of rides. Oaks Park doesn't have really big, interesting rides like Six Flags. It's small, family friendly, and lower cost. While I was there this visit, it was for a special event and it got pretty crowded, but they kept the ride lines moving. I didn't see any rides shut down or otherwise unavailable. I appreciate Oaks Park reserving days for private events. Me and my family had a great time and of course we would visit again.

    Lots of parking, $4 all day I believe. There is an entrance fee and depending what suits best for you and your child or family. There was a deal for wristband for my child and adult which is a few dollars off. A lot of rides were closed and there were only a few my daughter was able to go on due to height. Look to see which rides is good because I didn't prior and my daughter wasn't able to ride a lot of rides and more of just toddler ones. We ended the day within an hour since it started drizzling and got some cotton candy to go!

    just now New Do not park here! My car was broken into during daylight just to steal a windbreaker. No event is worth having to go through an insurance claim and estimates. Unfortunately I heard about six break ins in one night during a concert after I spoke about this. No one is watching but they want you to pay for parking and pay for the activities.

    Such a great family experience! The train through the park was definitely a hit amongst the kids, the big slide, and all the fun activities. Staff members were great, they had employees on site helping clean up and keeping the park very clean and presentable.

    If my 8th grade field trip wasn't the first time I visited Oaks Park back in 19[redacted], it was certainly the first I remember. Having been to Disneyland only once, a few years prior, I had something to compare it to, and despite it not being anywhere near the same level as the Magic Kingdom, Oaks Park has its own small town charm, and when sprinkled with a dash of nostalgia, conjures up similar, warm memories. Those nostalgia goggles unfortunately haven't red-shifted in the 30 years since that first visit, largely due to things like inflation: an all-day ride bracelet for an adult sets you back $43-$48, the larger sum during peak days (I'm assuming that means weekends and holidays), whereas those under 48" can snag one for basically half-price. Darn, my wife *almost* made it under the cut-off! Additionally, if you're no longer thrilled by thrill rides, the bracelet is definitely not worth it, which means the *visit* is not worth it, so you're better off staying home. They really should offer a per-ride purchase option; we came to the park to attend a free on-site event, but I really wanted to take my toddler son on the carousel, although I wasn't about to spend half a Benjamin to do it. If you're willing to fork over that amount, make sure to get your money's worth: arrive early, leave late. Eat cheap carnival food, and ride the rides until you barf it back up. And after sunset, the park *is* rather enchanting, even just to take a stroll down the main corridor. All-day parking is $5, and admission to the park itself is free, although your a la carte entertainment options are somewhat limited without the ride bracelet, but include the roller-skating rink, mini-golf, and the carnival games, which require purchased tickets. There's also plenty of covered tables and green space to spawl out for a party or picnic. I'll never forget seeing Oaks Park featured in an episode of my favorite Dutch "reality" show, Wie is de Mol, when the contestants ran a gauntlet of dashing between rides and grabbing envelopes of money, while wearing laser tag vests and dodging incoming fire from unseen opponents. It was one of the best episodes of the show, in the only season to feature the US (specifically Oregon) to-date (available on YouTube, with English subtitles, for the curious)! Sadly, unless you're one of those contestants, a viewer of the show, teen, tween, or a sunset-spectacled spectator gazing back upon it through the mists of time, the magic of Oaks Park is as faded as the paint on its muraled walls.

    Brought family here from out of town. The kids loved the rides and games. Very spendy, though! Ride bracelets are $44 pp, and game tickets are $40 for 10 tickets. We only spent around 2 hours here and dropped about $300 for 4 ride bracelets, 20 game tickets, and a few food items. Some of the rides were out of service, which was disappointing. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the food is good. The park is clean and so are the restrooms. They have plenty of benches and picnic tables throughout the park. Most of the rides are in direct sunlight, so bring a hat and water. Fun time, but be prepared to spend a lot of money!

    Dose the Oaks Park Roller skating rink have a dress code?

    Yes! They don't allow you to wear hats, headphones/earbuds when you are on the skating floor. You also can't have things tied around your waist like jackets or shirts.

    I had fun but I would love to see some change at this rink…read more I grew up very spoiled by the ice rink that was in my small town in Wyoming. It was seasonal but it was free to skate there because of local donors. There were always multiple staff who skated around the rink to make sure everyone was safe and guided people around those who had fallen or were creating unsafe situations for all the skaters. The figure skaters only practiced in the middle of the rink that had cones around it to prevent any public members from confusion and entering that space. You were asked to follow the direction of the skating and not go against the flow. There was a mandatory break halfway to clear the ice. This rink is a far cry from that. Skating is honestly a hazard here! I had to check in mid skate to see if I was still in public skate because there were so many figure skaters on the rink doing whatever they wanted. Skating wrong ways, blocking the path, zig zagging between skaters, all the things figure skaters do.I had a few almost run ins myself. I don't understand why public skate can't be a fun time to skate around and around without worrying if you're going to have a head on collision with the figure skater. I felt really frustrated because this wasn't the first time that I've come here and had this happen. Can there be a designated time for the figure skaters to practice? I get it.. share the ice but when it's a literal free for all it's hard to predict where to skate and stay safe. I'm familiar with how to stop safely but for newbies this is really unsafe. I want to take my nephews here but is there a time when it's truly a public skate?

    This is a great facility! The ice quality is excellent, and the newly freshly painted colors to…read morematch the Winterhawks give the arena a sharp look. The facility is well set up with great amenities, including large locker rooms, a nice beer garden, and a convenient snack shop. It's a true hub for ice sports, hosting adult and kids league hockey and figure skating, plus open skating sessions with both skate and skating helper rentals available. The vibe here is definitely improving, and I'm really looking forward to the upstairs bar and restaurant that is reportedly coming soon! A cool, reliable spot for everything ice-related.

    Dust your ice skates off, because winter is here! Well, maybe you don't own a pair of skates, but…read moreat least you've got a local ice skating rink nearby. What am I talking about? Well, it's not a huge seasonal event like the Holiday Ice Rink Union Square in San Francisco and it's probably only one-fourth the size of The Rink at Rockefeller Center, but it's the Winter Village at Orenco Station Plaza! Yippeee!!!! OK, so first off, I'm new to the area but was told about this event happens every December. I didn't think much of it, until I started seeing them construct the ice rink. Then I knew something special was happening. But before I get into more details about skating and Winter Village, I just wanted to disclose that most of my information is primarily from their website versus what I've seen and experienced. Now onto the details: ~ When is it? Well, Winter Village opened last November 29th and will end January 5th, 2020. You basically get about five weeks of fun! And I'm actually somewhat surprised that no one has written up a review for this by now. ~ Main feature? Well it's the ICE RINK of course! A small one that's only about 115 feet long and 26 feet wide. It is outdoor, but covered by a huge white tent. With all the rain as of recent, it's actually good that the ice is covered and protected. The rink capacity can hold up to 70 skaters during a session. You do have to sign a waiver prior to skating, and sessions are about 90 minutes each. You can find their skating calendar and session pricing here: https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/home/showdocument?id=24060 ~ In general, prices with skate rentals are: Adults $13 Children (ages 4-11) $10 Children under 3 FREE! Want a discount? Bring your own skates and get $2 off. Or military and First Responders (and family members) get $1 off. ~ Features I've seen: Kids skating in special strollers. Cool winter decor and colorful lighting everywhere. I've seen the rink reserved, closed during some sessions for private events. So yes, you can rent the entire place all for yourself if you need to plan a private party. A great idea if you plan to have a season ending get together with coworkers. I've definitely seen it busier on weekends versus weekdays, so plan accordingly. ~ What I didn't expect from the village? The Winter Market on Sundays (10-3pm). Yes, a tiny farmers market with about 8 vendors selling things from home-made chocolates, specialty soaps, some flowers, a pie guy, a glass blowing vendor, I think I even saw a booth with veggies, a bakery booth with pastries, and a small band of local musicians playing Christmas songs. I thought it was just cool just seeing the community come together, regardless of how cold conditions have been lately. Well, there you have it! I would've given five-stars, but honestly I was sort of expecting more when you call something a "village". Maybe it hasn't snowed enough yet. Or maybe I was expecting it to be busier everyday around the area, but the good thing is, it's not. It is next to the MAX station, but really no heavy foot traffic. Support your locals folks, take your family out for some cheap skating fun, and happy holidays!

If you're here for the sport, the ice is always fantastic; consistently solid and well-maintained, which is clearly why the Winterhawks use it as their practice facility. However, the rest of the facility definitely shows its age. The stands are nice enough, though they are located on the far side from the entrance, making for a bit of a trek if you're carrying gear. The lobby isn't huge, and the locker rooms are a tight squeeze, especially if you have a full-roster adult hockey team trying to gear up at once. On the positive side, you can tell they are making an effort to modernize. The lobby, locker rooms, and bathrooms have been renovated, which is a huge improvement over how they used to be. The staff is also very friendly and helpful, whether you're there for a tournament or just a public skate. It's a classic, "old school" rink that has its quirks but remains a reliable staple for the local hockey community.

She has been skating for about 7 years total. We had heard good things about the program at Lloyd and decided to give it a try even though we live less than 10 minutes from the Sherwood rink. I'm so glad we did! The value you get at Lloyd can't be beat. If you happen to miss a class it's easy to pick up another class as a make up plus you can attend Open skate for free and get a punch card to bring a friend to Open skate a few times each session. Freestyles are also less expensive than other rinks in the areas. If you have done a learn to skate program there are some more advanced classes you can take like Choreo & Moves. The coaching staff is awesome, knowledgeable and patient. They go above and beyond to make students feel welcome, safe and included. (Special shout-out to Lydia!) Lloyd Center is also great for folks just wanting to skate for fun. Much of the day is available as Open skate and there are in and out privileges for the day.

They don't open until 7, and I mean 7, so if you think you're going to go early and skip a line or do other things at the park, think again. There is NO line to get in also, which was funny, it's free to enter and you just walk in, the "tickets" are for the three houses themselves, so if you're first time--I wish I'd have known that. The VIP tickets are worth it, as you just head to the right of the lines to enter the houses and walk right in. Nice. They have a few vendors of super cool, handmade things and one food cart with fresh, artisan dogs and other sides. Wish there was more food and adult drinks are great (no hard booze that I saw), but reasonably priced wine, beer, cider. 3 drinks for 30$ with a nice tipper, I'd say a deal at an event. The houses are really well-done, and I like that they don't touch you, haha. As I'm a little bit of an anxious person, but I got along fine. Hardcore folks might be disappointed, but I'm here to have fun, not a heart attack. And the people in costume walking the grounds are really cool, the "deer" lady is crazy good and I have no idea how they keep up that scream and voice all night, wow!

There is a lively causeway with selfie stations, various games and attractions, as well as costumed characters wandering through the park. They've done a great job with makeup and special effects, and stay in character as they engage with attendees. The main attraction is the three haunted houses. This year, in 2024, they have a castle with twisting and winding halls, a scary church full of ghosts and ghouls, and a haunted cinema. They've curated some really nice scenes, and sourced enthusiastic performers, which makes up for any bare hallways or lengthy delays between scares. The hardcore haunted house aficionados may judge this attraction too harshly, but for an anxiety-ridden middle aged man like me... it does just fine! Any event taking place at Oaks Park has the benefit of great accommodations like ample, affordable parking, easy to find restrooms, food and other amenities. If you can afford the hefty admission, chances are you'll have a great time at this event.
