A great new modern arena with great fans, but the goal horns are way to loud and hurt your ears.

***Our BLACK FAMILY was HARRASSED and RACIALLY PROFILED ***…read moreSarah was aggressive, dismissive, and unwilling to listen when we explained that the young man was not a minor, as she claimed. Despite his attempt to present valid identification proving he was 21 years old, Sarah refused to believe it, mocked the situation using air quotes about his "real age," and continued to escalate the issue. Once it became clear she could not justify her claim about his age, she abruptly shifted her reasoning, stating that he was not "chaperoning a child" and had to leave. The young man, like the rest of us, was a paying customer. He had purchased both entry and skate rental. There was absolutely no justification for the treatment he received--other than the fact that he is a young Black man. What made this even more painful was the clear contrast in how our white friend, who also had no skates and remained seated at our table, was completely ignored and never harassed by staff. The racial bias and discrimination from Sarah, the security guard, and other staff members were blatant. The overall environment was hostile, disrespectful, and unsafe. We ultimately made the decision to leave as a group, feeling dehumanized and unwelcome. To add further insult, the young man who had paid for entry and skate rentals was treated as if he were not a legitimate customer. The staff, including the girl at the skate rental window, were disrespectful when attempting to return our shoes, even citing minor issues like not "tucking" the laces into the skates. We were only at the facility for about an hour in total, but it was enough time to experience clear racial profiling, harassment, and unprofessional behavior by the staff. This is not the kind of experience any paying customer should ever endure.

I'd give 0 stars but that's not an option. The other two bald white guys were very rude,stuck up…read moreand condescending. Not helpful at all to beginners and act like you should just know what you're doing if you come to this establishment. The worker at the consession area asked me where the "strawberry lemonade was on the menu" when I asked to order it...must have no idea what he's doing either. The one bald guy continued to harass me and my group throughout the night. I could just keep going on and on. DEFINITELY DONT COME HERE, THERES MUCH BETTER AND WELCOMING RINKS IN THE CENTRAL, PA AREA

don't! I'm a regular and I'm done with this rink. I'm not the only regular…read more Erica is snooty and I think might be racist. I asked for a song to be played and she refused calling it a twerking song. (I'm literally 1/2 white) she said she will not play anything you can dance to and a a freestyle dancer this is an issue. if it's busy there is no floor guard. they need an assistant manager as multiple times there have been no games because Erica is helping out. we were playing 4 corners once and skated around for 15 minutes once because she was just gone. parents waltz all over the rink floor not watching their kids. the kids literally slam straight into you. this has happened almost every single session I've been to lately. it's also very crowded. like to the point you're wondering if the fire code is being violated.

horrid. floor is constantly dirty. the managed is unprofessional to the point she should be fired…read moreas she has inappropriate relationships with customers then bans them when done. (banning should only happen if the person breaks rules it is unsafe but because of your hurt feelings) there is never enough employees. almost never a floor guard. it's often crowded to the point where there shutouts room to sit or skate. bathrooms never have paper towels either. I've heard the managed tell at an employee iced the phone and say racist things. going here is like a 3 ring circus.

It had been forever since I had been in a roller skating rink. Memories came flooding back, both…read moregood and bad. All the while on the way here, I contemplated if I would partake in skating. I decided not to tempt the fates, especially since the last time I roller skated, I crack my one bone from my knee to my ankle...yeah, wasn't going down that route again. Like most skating rinks in this area the building looks a bit unassuming. In fact it looks like either an industrial building or an oversized garage. I think it's a bit confusing at this area as well since they have self-storage units for rent as well. Inside, instantly taken back to the 90s. You have to be buzzed into the place, but only after you either purchase an entrance, or are there for a party. A little extra safety precaution that doesn't allow for anyone in that shouldn't be there. The rink is your typical setup, right in the middle of the floor with a walkway around it for the most part. There is a party room, an arcade, a concession stand, and the place where you get your skates/trade in arcade tickets to get your prize. The party room is not all that great. When you book a party you are given a section of the room and you will share it with at least one other group, and it can be up to four other groups sharing the room with you. A missed opportunity here is the blocked connection to the arcade. As for the food, I did not try it. It looked like premade everything, thrown together pizza. Speaking of the arcade, it was where I spent most of my time with my nephew and niece. Typical arcade games that you can earn tickets through. Skeeball, basketball, skill games, etc. Those seem to be provided my Slinky Action Zone, at least that is what the slip says when you trade them in. Overall, great experience, but odd hours.

Love this place, my kids go there often and have a great time every time there are, friendly and…read morehelpful staff!

6/20/26 Very nice stadium, though a more compact venue--only half the size of the GIANT Ctr arena…read morein Hershey. However, that means parking was much easier to find & closer to the building. Lines were relatively short going in. There was a nice selection of concessions. Got great seats for very low cost! It's a quaint college town--lots of shops & restaurants nearby. Attended the TobyMac concert w/3 opening acts: Zach Williams, Seph Schleuter & Jamie McDonald. Nice light effects, confetti drops & white smoke effects. Good sound quality overall. We stayed overnight in order to avoid 4-hr round trip. Hotel was only 10 mins from venue. Would definitely return!!

We've been to many events here from gymnastics to basketball to graduations to concerts. There's…read moregood and bad to it. Parking is a nightmare, no other way to explain how badly it's handled. Getting in, the bag policy is pretty common, a clear bag or a tiny wallet and then walk through a metal detector. They scan your ticket at the door and the madness of a 30-minute wait for a wristband to get alcohol and another half hour for the actual drink begins. Last night, we were there for a concert: From Ashes to New, Three Days Grace and Shinedown. We bought our tickets at the door for half the price they're offered for on-line. The lady in the ticket office was extremely knowledgeable about seating and recommended the sidestage area. The tee-shirt line took 20 minutes. By the time I got my shirt, it was time for the show to start. I could see perfectly from our seats. Hubby missed half the first band because of the chaos over what wristband was needed for a 50-year old man to have a beer. The music was incredible. The acoustics are perfection and you can literally feel the base hit your chest. The lighting has always been a problem there. They didn't consult a photographer. We'll still go back for events because we bleed Penn State blue and white, but hope they fix the chaos.
