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.

What a throwback! We…read morecame to Southgate Roller Rink for a birthday party and it was such a blast from the past. I spent my youth roller skating at Skate King in Bellevue and didn't know this place even existed. The roller rink is attached to the bar and across the parking lot, there's another building with the arcade and karaoke. It's definitely old and rundown, but that just adds to the nostalgic charm. We had fun putting our son on roller skates for the first time and they still do all the fun rink stuff like limbo, races, etc. Rental skates could use an update, but overall this is a great place to hang out for a few hours and skate.

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.

The rink is a little bit small and can get a little crowded. My main complaint is that the skates…read morefeel really cheap and don't seem properly cleaned. 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.

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".
