I have been skating for almost twenty years and I have never in my life had a skating experience as…read morenegative and disempowering as I did at this location. During a freestyle session earlier this year, Coach Vlad-- a rude and disrespectful coach they still allow to teach despite his unprofessional conduct-- directed the skater he was coaching to skate into my jump line several times in ways that posed a danger to both me and her. This was his way of trying to intimidate me off the ice as five minutes later he brusquely told me he needed the "whole ice surface" for his skater and forced me to move to a small corner. I found out later that he was coaching his daughter and find it massively unfair that despite the fact that we both paid the same exact cost for the freestyle session she somehow was more entitled to the ice. I had initially tried to resolve this over email with the skating director Ashley who was also rude, unprofessional, and did not respond in a timely manner. In fact, she hasn't even responded to the last email I sent her. And during our correspondence, in the most weirdly petty mean-girl move, she copied my private skating coach on the email as though to try and get me in trouble with her, which did not work because my coach is a mature adult. I am so disappointed in this experience from Sno-King Snoqualmie, it sucks that I have to drive extra to Renton, but I would much rather skate with their community and there's a reason why so many other skaters feel the same way. I refuse to skate somewhere that allows male coaches to be egregiously disrespectful in dangerous ways to young female skaters with no remorse. Especially with so many young women in this sport, Sno-King should be empowering us. Allowing Coach Vlad to give preferential treatment to his daughter at the cost of others' practice time and safety isn't professional or ethical.

The instructors are so gentle and mature (vs other places where they have high schoolers effing HOLLERING commands at little kids and overwhelming them). These arenas can be overwhelming to little kids bc they echo and there's ppl everywhere and it's cold and just an ONSLAUGHT so I appreciate folks there being gentle w kiddos. Thanks!

I visited South Gate Roller Rink this evening around 9 PM with my mom and her two friends. I was…read morereally looking forward to showing them this local skating rink for the first time. When we walked in, the bouncer was sitting just inside the door. I had my ID ready expecting him to check it. We told him we were thinking about going into the rink but wanted to take a look first. He immediately got dismissive and said there was a cover charge. When I asked if we could just peek inside before deciding, he sarcastically said "would a night club just let you take a look if they were charging a cover?" Like that was not already obvious enough, he then went out of his way to mock the way we asked the question and told us he would have let us in if we had just asked differently. We were not trying to get in for free or cause any trouble. We were a group of women just looking to have a fun night out. To be spoken to that way, especially in front of my mom and her friends, was completely uncalled for. I will not be returning as long as this person is working the door.

Parking was easy -- plenty of spots both in the front and the back If you're just visiting and not skating, the fee is around $19. Since skating was only a little more, I figured why not try it -- especially since it was my first time We went to celebrate a coworker's birthday and it ended up being a great experience. After about 9:30 PM it got pretty packed, but the vibe was still awesome. Everyone was friendly, doing their own thing, and very respectful. I held onto the railing most of the time and definitely fell a couple of times , but people gave space and were super encouraging Overall, this is a fun spot even for beginners. Good energy, great crowd, lots of laughs -- would totally go again!

We put our kids skates in, turned around and one walker was gone we went to the front desk and they said it was our responsibility to look after it and if someone took it there's nothing they can do and we would have to pay to get another one It sounds naive but wish they would have given disclosure of that... also didn't think someone would just "steal" it

I had my daughter's golden birthday here, as it was close to home and my kids were frequently…read morecoming here during the summer with their friends. I'm not going to lie, I was kinda iffy on this place because of the reviews, so I set my expectation low. I submitted a party inquiry on their website, the price was pretty reasonable. After submitting the form, a party coordinator should contact you. I was anxious and called the facility because it was days after the online submittals. After that, she contacted me to confirm and make a payment. One part that she fell short on was saying that they would email me a few days prior to the event but the email never came, so not sure what it entails. There's two set price, $395 or $300. The room maximum is only 25 capacity. The price comes with 15 or 20 wristbands for ice skaters, depending on which rooms you choose. You let them know what color table cloth and 6 balloons you would like, it also comes with 24 bottles of water and goodie bags. You can buy more balloons, if you like. They sure make it super easy on parents. They only allow you to come 15 minutes early to set up, which isn't a lot of time. You just have to make sure that everyone arrive on time, as you only an hour to have the room to eat which doesn't seem like enough time and would feel rushed. If I could request a change, I would suggest that they let you have the room for the full 2.5 hrs. For example, 30 mins to set up, 2 full hrs for the room which could be used to eat, mingle, cake cutting and for cleaning up. Overall, it was a successful. The front staff was very kind and nice. Thank you for making it memorable for my daughter.

I came to the Sno-King Ice Arena in Kirkland when I was growing up for birthday party(ies). It was…read morea large ice arena with a more professional feel than some of the other ice arenas we frequented. The interior was brighter (lighting wise) and the open skate more spread out, even with more people. The ice was still tricky for this female who did not take classes nor make open skate a part of my routine. That was perhaps the only drawback. Because of its more professional feel, some of the people who competed year-round in sports would only talk about where they wanted to compete/what sport they would want to do if they were not doing their current sport, etc. It could be kind of tiring as they tended to forget about the present, fantasizing about the future with those of "their kind" at the party instead of those of us who were focusing on just skating/having fun.

I have been taking my son every season since I moved here, but I'm already quite tired of the…read moreinconsistent staff attitudes. Once I buy the season pass, why do they still make me get a wristband and wait in a long line? Some staff told me to bypass the line, others said I still needed the wristband, and some even said I had to stand in the same line just to get the wristband. Also, like today--when my party walked in, one customer was trying to find the ticket prices, and we already had our passes ready and hanging around our necks. Another staff member was sitting behind the check-in staff. Why couldn't he help us get the wristbands and ask for our shoe sizes? Isn't that how you excel at your job--by noticing customer needs and stepping in, rather than staying idle and only doing the tasks assigned to you? That way, the line would move much faster and everything would run more smoothly. Honestly, it feels like they're just enjoying the free ice-skating perks instead of focusing on customer service.

I went back to change my size, and I noticed a bunch of mismatched skates just lying haphazardly throughout the skates rental area. They let me know that they had run out of my size, which wasn't surprising given that it looked like my size was probably somewhere lost within the piles of shoes strewn everywhere.

I went here with a group of friends for roller skating and we had fun!…read more It's a cozy and fun place, but it is a bit dingy and dark. However, it was pretty clean and the rink is well maintained. They have both rollerskates and rollerblades in an extensive size range, including kids sizes. They also have elbow pads, wrist guards, and knee pads that you can borrow for free. I saw them actively sanitizing skates after use, which was good to see. I think the $20 feet is a bit steep, but not terribly unreasonable. The staff was nice, they could've been a little more energetic but overall they were doing a good job. I liked the music selection, a good mix of everything! The flashing lights were a little intense for me, but it added to the atmosphere which I can appreciate. If you're looking for a fun indoor activity, check out Lynnwood Bowl and Skate! I'd like to try bowling next time and give a review on that part of the facility.

My nephew who is visiting from out of town found that there was a smash brothers tournament held…read morehere on Friday. We decided to come here and while he was doing his tournament we would bowl and maybe skate and play some billiards. However, for two lanes, the total for 7 people it cost us $350 in total to bowl. What a total rip off! My son didn't even get matching shoes, the balls provided had many chips, and one of our consoles was not even working properly! When we told them of the problem they were not helpful at all. We just dealt with it. The skating rink was also very smelly and smelled like feet and the billiards tables were poorly kept as well as the sticks provided. For the price we paid the bowling wasn't even exciting as it wasn't even cosmic bowling. I can't believe people actually go here! We will not be coming back here to bowl, skate or play billiards!

My kids have been coming here for years, long before the new ownership. I hear they're doing some…read morerenovations, which are long overdue. Very good family friendly spot and they do what they can with the space they have. The only downside is the consistent lack of food/snacks/games. 1/3 or or more of the very few games they have are ALWAYS out of order. The food is not always good and very often sold out as they don't make much during sessions -they mostly reserve the pizza just for the rooms. The candy machines are awful - all the decent stuff is regularly empty and the full sided candy they offer is about 3-4x the size price (i.e., the really small bag of lays is $3). Plus I once bought a candy bar there for my kid and the chocolate looked and tasted old, which means their stock rarely moves. Also, would be great if they offered some adult beverages on tap. FYI, it's never a "true" experience here unless u catch a glimpse of the older white gentlemen casually solo out dancing everyone on the rink. I think I will nickname him "White Lightning".

It just flowed from one song to the other. It slowed down to let people rest while skating. Then after a while he gradually picked up the beat until people were up bouncing again. You cannot buy that type of skill...you have to have some YEARS & Experience on you to learn that! ElCentro skating rink was friendly & Inviting with security on campus. Free ice water at the snack bar. Newly renovated bathrooms. Nice rental skates & blades. Tables, chairs and rental lockers for those who need them. There is a small arcade for the kids but I did not use. My girls ordered fries, "They were perfectly salted." Painted murals on the walls with the color scheme nicely done. They have a skate store where you can buy stuff. I noticed a prize ticket store for the arcade. If you want an upgrade to your regular skate night, and if you are grown, choose to go to Adult Skate 18+ and have a great time.

Fun place to go with friends but don't have high expectations for food. Not exactly the cleanest but its not a dump like most people say. I would recommend this place as it has a normal skating and night skating. There are also occasionally races and games which make skating more fun as it adds activities. As I said, not usually busy, and has lots of space to sit down. They also serve food and drinks such as pizza, nachos, tator tots and more along with slushies and other drinks. The slushies are three dollars and usually have 2 flavors that you can mix if you want. Employees are nice and I don't really have anything bad to say. Not the nicest place but it definitely works and is really fun with family and friends!
