This place would be perfect to have birthday parties at. I went on a weekend night and the Dj was wonderful. My only caution is this place gets insanely packed with talented skaters, so I don't think it's a beginner friendly environment. I've heard they offer up beginner classes during the week though, which is super cool! I had a blast here, and would come back!

I believe Christine was helping me and she helped assess some used skates I got from play it again. After changing wheels/ bearings and adjusting trucks a bunch of times I realized the skates I got were duds. I finally decided to cop a fresh pair of quads here. She helped navigate the selection and we found these beauties with the perfect fit/style! After that I never left the rink again. I am looking forward to breaking these babies in! They were on sale for $200 so I think it's a good deal especially with the use I will be getting out of them. Side note United skates is a really fun rink been checking out all the locals

This is a good place for a birthday party…read more My daughter had a birthday party at United Skates, and I thought it was a pretty good experience, but I didn't like how disorganized the skate rentals were, and the metal detector at the entrance was a bit intimidating. This fall, we have been to two birthday parties at SkateWorld, and I think they were significantly superior to the party at United Skates. Better neighborhood (no metal detector), easy skate rentals, easier check in. Food was similarly bad (looking - I didn't taste), but there were more options to order if you wanted something other than pizza (they had wings, sandwich platters, etc.). If my daughter decides on a skating party in the future, we'll be coming to SkateWorld rather than returning to United Skates. My only concern is the parking situation. There's no problem for the Sunday parties, but on a Saturday, there really isn't enough parking for the venue capacity.

The instructor session is at very good time on Saturdays and Coach Joe is awesome instructor! The public sessions are long enough to get kids tired and adults take break in between skate runs.

Located in Curtis Hixon Waterfront park and sandwiched between the park lawn, restrooms, dancing…read morefountain and Children Museum is a long white tent housing Tampa's Downtown on Ice. Have you ever been ice skating at one of these portable venues? They can be hit or miss, but thankfully this one is a hit. Not quite as large as some seasonal ice skating venues, but still acceptable and reasonably priced. Our kids were able to skate for several hours @ a cost of $12 per person. They say you are only allowed 90 minutes, but they don't seem to keep tab. Either that or it was of no concern since it was not very busy. However, the one thing they really need to work on (and this goes for all rinks like this) is the EPIC foot odor that comes from the skates and skate storage area. It is a germaphobic nightmare and I personally took the liberty of diagnosing several people with athlete's feet! The stank emanating from those skates had me running outside for air, thus I didn't bother skating myself and took my kids sock off and burned them afterwards! They were not getting anywhere near our vehicle with shocks that smelled like those dang skates! I wanted to take them over to the fountain just outside the tent to wash and bleach their feet, but my wife said I was going to far with my germaphobia! FINAL THOUGHTS Cheap entertainment, so why not... but bring a tub of antibacterial gel to rub on your feet and hands afterwards. Oh, and bring disposable socks and a torch! 2016/6

We take my nephews here every year and they love it. Prices are reasonable but the set up is very…read morechaotic. They get very busy on the weekends and let a lot of people on the ice at once so you have no option but to skate in a circle with the flow of traffic or else you will run into someone or they will run into you. Once you pay, they will give you skates but they do not hold your shoes. There are very few benches for the amount of people here on the weekends so you will have to wait your turn to sit to put your skates on and stash your belongings wherever you can find a spot where they won't get stepped on. It is located at Curtis Hixon park at the front of the park. The holiday decor in the park is beautiful at night and worth a stop even if you don't end up skating.

The lady at the rental for skates could be more nicer and enthusiastic but it's whatever. This place sits close to Salem's and is on 60 and Kings Ave. Place is a great size for a skating rink and they have different races for different ages there to make it stay fun and active. If you want a trainer, it is $5 extra and you have to trade your shoes in for the skates which makes sense cause you're not going to leave without your shoes! They also have a bounce house and have staff to supervise. There's an arcade too for those who aren't into any of those things and a place to redeem for prizes. I can't speak too much for the food but the kids seemed to eat it well. Overall, a great experience and I would defintely recommend and return for everyone of all ages!

We've been to some rinks around here and the floor is really greasy/oily. If you know, you know that really makes it hard to fully maintain full control when turning and cutting. We also really appreciated that they had a little corner of the floor tucked away for the little skaters. Our little one loved it over there as an escape from the crowd and more experienced skaters. Also, in the larger sizes they had some really nice roller hockey style inline skates. I don't think there are enough of those to cover all sizes, but if you are lucky enough to get a pair, they definitely looked legit. We'll definitely be back to this location again. The DJ also played a good mix of old school vs new school music.

They don't have enough equipment but they're ready to charge you for said equipment before you even get through the door. It's a shame, that Astro is the only local option.
