The rink is suitable only for experienced skaters as they do not provide skating aids of any kind. We brought our kids, who are still learning. It wasn't worth anything. Another issue was that the rink surface had about 2 inches of water(on Dec 29th 2024),this made skating even more challenging and unsafe for novices. On a positive note, their staff were very helpful and attentive.

The last time I went, they have skates up to a size 13, which I wear a 15 shoe, and the 13 fit me. You get to skate with a variety of levels from beginner to expert. I even saw some experts fall. They play fun holiday music and take in the holiday lights. Afterward, you can dine at any one of many downtown Dublin restaurants or grab some cocoa at a local cafe.

Went to United Skates of America recently and had a fantastic time!! The only reason this is 4…read morestars instead of 5 is because of the kids. My biggest complaint was that there were SO MANY kids + also going the wrong direction, on the skating rink. Several times staff came on the speaker and told everyone to be skating the same direction, but only after her saying that about three or four times did it change anything. Not really the staff's problem, but it was *really* hard dodging children everywhere, coming at me from every direction. We went during a half-off skating time, and there was a little discount for using cash, so it was $19.75 for admission and skate rental for two of us. The rink itself was very clean and in great condition. I enjoyed the variety of carpet squares all over the facility; colorful and makes it look fun. We rented skates and they were also in great working condition. I did see the staff sanitizing skates after use. I was so thrilled that staff left me bring in my big 32oz Nalgene water bottle! I drank so much of it while skating, and I was so happy to be hydrated! There is a working drinking fountain too, so I filled up a few times. The lockers were in good conditions, 2 quarters each, and there is a change machine that allows you to make change. The speakers and sound on the rink was great, and the music was good. The bathrooms were clean, well stocked, and well maintained. Overall I had a really great time skating, and definitely want to come back during an adult only time!

The location on Refugee Road consistently does not enforce any of the rules it states the beginning…read moreof the session. Today, during the 12-3 session, immediately after the announcement of rules, the announcer had to specifically reprimand 3 teenage boys who were playing tag, reminding them that they were not allowed to play tag. They continued to play tag cutting off other people, including young children who were there from a daycare center. They skated the wrong direction causing others to have to swerve to miss them and making several people to fall. After the rules announced that no one was aloud to stand and lean over the way or stop for any reason while on the skating floor, there were about seven teenagers standing inside of the rink near the half wall just talking, causing several little kids to fall. We left after less than an hour when one of the teenagers ran into my 11 year old son shoving him to the ground because he was oblivious to others. There was a referee on the floor, but he was not enforcing any of the rules. He just helped people up if he saw that they had fallen. If the rules are made to keep everyone safe, they need to be enforced, so people don't get hurt due to negligence. Not enforcing the rules is negligence on behalf of the skating center.

I had my daughters 6th birthday party at Skate Zone 71 and Miya was my attendant/server. She was…read moresuper accommodating to us. She provided a smile and was attentive. The party included a kids table set up with plates napkins and a table cloth some soda and pizza. The pepporoni pizza was pretty good for a skating rink. Miya did real well hosting especially since it seemed she was responsible for multiple party's on her own. We waited maybe an hour for pizza, allowing guests to skate a nice amount before eating. Miya also helped light the candles and hand out pieces of the cake. I would book another party here for sure.

I'm going to give this four stars and I'll explain why. But I also never want to go back, and I'll…read moreexplain that too. Kid K's school had an event here, not private, but a school skate on a Saturday morning. Along with many other groups. You've seen the place along 71, relatively easy to get to, big parking lot packed with cars. I've never been because I didn't grow up here and it's overwhelmingly a kid's place, but I know it's been here forever. Easy check-in (I bought tickets online through the school event site,) and great service at the ticket counter and at the skate one. Easy to get skates, free wrist pads, and $5 for "walker" thingies for beginners to lean on while learning (very helpful, wish they'd had them when I was a kid and coulda used one when I had knee surgery.) I loved to rollerskate when younger, and even did it a few times as an adult, but that was 30 years and 2 knee replacements ago. So, we brought along a high-school age family member to help K. I helped some on the carpet, and you can walk on the rink in shoes so I did some of that too. K loved it, even put up with the falls (which are just a normal part of learning, of course.) Hanging out with friends, listening to music, and learning a little on her first time skating. The place is clean, there are plenty of places to sit, there's snacks (for outrageous prices,) there's laser tag and arcade games and other entertainment. The noise is overwhelming. Not from the kids, really- from the PA. Music was loud enough you have to yell to talk. And then the announcements... Loud and distorted and almost painful. Really awful. Bring earplugs. Not kidding. My ears are still sore from the assault. But, look: kids will have fun. Eat before and after. There is a drinking fountain so they will survive. Definitely use the pads and walkers, and wear cushy pants. Bring earplugs. Enjoy a little nostalgia. And look forward to the time they announce that your skating session is over.

As a frequent flyer here at Easton Chiller and have been to countless other ice rinks in a handful…read moreof different states and countries I can honestly say I am very pleased with the Chiller organization. *covid 2020* I don't know who posted about the chiller not enforcing the Ohio mandate for masks but that is completely untrue. I have seen staff inform consumers that masks and 6feet spacing is required. There are not only signage everywhere you turn but the staff are continually cleaning and making sure the rules are enforced. I am at the rink for hockey 3-5 times a week between practice games and open skate. Thank you Chiller Staff for all your hard work keeping the facilities running safely so our kiddos can still have their season. As for the Chiller Easton I would rank the ice arena in our top 15. There are two sheets of ice, actual dressing rooms, a small concession stand and room for viewing above and around the ice rink. There is even conference rooms to rent out for parties and such. And the biggest plus the Chiller is open year round! Need somewhere to cool off during the summer months this is the place!

The Ice Haus is a very nice rink attached to Nationwide Arena where the Jackets practice. If you're…read moreever at an event in NW, you can see the ice from the North side of the arena and will probably see St. Charles or Upper Arlington high schools practicing there in the Winter. The Blue Jackets also allow the public to come in on certain days and see their morning skate sessions, which is pretty cool. Since the place only has one rink, public skating is pretty limited, but they do offer after school skating on Fridays as well as late night adult skate on Saturday nights for anyone in the area looking to get on the ice. Occasionally they have drop-in hockey, mainly during the off season, but they do offer a pretty competitive drop-in hockey early Friday mornings (if you can wake up and get there by 6 am). The facility offers skate sharpening and all the basic provisions that the other Chillers have, but they don't have a pro shop here, so don't expect to purchase any equipment (minus hockey tape). It really is a great ice to skate on, especially since it's the only rink in Columbus that provides natural lighting, and when they offer up more public skates in the Summer, I highly suggest checking it out.

Since the new owners took over, you can really tell how much pride and care they've put into making this a fun, welcoming place for everyone. There is always something going on -- definitely check the event calendar. We've attended Taylor Swift Night, Minion Night, Santa Claus Night, and even just a regular Saturday skate, and every time the vibe has been great. The energy feels fresh, organized, and family-friendly, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into the events they plan. They also do fun drawings and giveaways, which makes the nights even more exciting. We've entered a few times and have actually won -- my daughter won a Taylor Swift album and magazine on our last visit, which absolutely made her night. I know this place used to have mixed reviews in the past, but it truly feels like a whole new chapter. If you haven't been in a while, I highly recommend giving it another try. Our family looks forward to coming back again and again.

You're not going to get a 5 star dinner here. The music is very family friendly, as well as the staff.
