I can't believe BSA is still going and it's pretty much been 30 years at this point since it first…read moreopened. I worked here for 5 of those 30 years and I believe it was either the first or second day that BSA opened that I started. I worked here as an arcade attendant, skate guard and even helped out with parties. If I could tell you some of the crazy stories and secrets, I would, but I don't want to put them in this review. I ended up leaving when they wanted me to start helping with construction, something I had no experience doing nor was I looking to start doing. The good news is I made many friends from here, that I still see or talk to today. Including my very first hockey coach and one of my old (and first) managers! My best experiences there were with the hockey leagues, in particular the youth leagues. They are ran very well and continue to be ran well from what I can gather. There is a lot of focus on these leagues because that is where the money is, so the kids get priority on ice time as well as a lot of focus on improvements of skills on the ice. I did spend 10 years there in the adult leagues, some times were good and some times were bad. We eventually moved our team when games were getting too late and the league director kept giving us a schedule 3 months at a time instead of a full season schedule, which is what we needed. From what I hear, they addressed this by now splitting up the "Winter Season" and you are getting less games for a full season but an extra season out of it. The one thing we did enjoy was the number of games and double elimination playoffs. The last league director who we dealt with, Brian, was very fair and a good guy. He moved on. I'm not sure who is the director now, but last I heard it was the same one who ran Flemington a few years ago and he was fairly good as well. So you are probably getting a fairly organized adult league. Our biggest issues were with the abusive referees and the horrible ice. We literally had referees that no other rink wanted (they were banned from those rinks and one was even a college level ref that was also banned from doing Princeton games) that called penalties on one of our players because "He was black and didn't belong on the ice". This infuriated us and when we brought it up to BSA management, they shrugged their shoulders and told us to talk to USA Hockey about this. Our other issues were with the ice. We loved the blue rink but the red rink would fall apart every 2-3 years and would need to be re-done as such. They could never figure this out. A few of us broke skates and skate blades because the ice actually got down to the surface. It was pretty bad (This also happened to me while public skating). The small rink (what was known as the orange rink) was fantastic. I always enjoyed some personal time on there, be it for myself and a friend or with my teammates. I did like the pro-shop there because often times, I'd find a stick or something else I needed that other local shops would not have. Plus their skate sharpening was always done right for me. I'd often go out of the way for this and only come to BSA. Arcades remain outdated last time I was there. I was surprised to see so many arcades still there from the 90s and also surprised to see how many were out of order. Most of these used to be easily fixable back in the day. I never did experience the laser tag but I heard it's pretty good, so give this a shot if you have a party there. As for the food, I wasn't a fan of "Villa Pizza" or whatever they call it now. Most of the food was sitting out there for a while, though if you timed it just right, you may have gotten a nice and greasy re-heated pizza that would taste fresh. Perhaps the chocolate cookies are still fresh, that was about my extent of what I'd eat at that place. If you were going public skating or doing open hockey, I'd strongly suggest that you call ahead of time and just make sure you know the correct times for each of these! Also, for public skating, bring your own skates. The skate rental skates are hit or miss. Some of them have been there for many years! I'd say an average review is about right for BSA. There's good and there's bad. Overall, I don't regret any time spent there and maybe one day I'll be back for a skate or visit.

My experience with the Rockets Hockey Club was extremely disappointing…read more In spring 2025, I paid more than $9,000 for my son to play goalie on the 2025-26 Junior Elite team. The team practiced only six times between September 2 and September 11. On September 15, my son was notified by text that the season was canceled. I received no explanation and initially received little communication from the organization. Despite my requests to stop payments, another tuition payment was processed. After weeks of emails, I was eventually offered a $6,000 refund. I attempted to negotiate a more appropriate refund but was told to accept it or leave it. When I indicated I would pursue legal action, the owner, David Gibson, responded by email with a list of people he characterized as "lawsuit losers." I subsequently filed a Special Civil Part case and received a default judgment. The defendants later moved to vacate the judgment. During that process, their attorney negotiated a settlement with me. We agreed on an amount, and I was told the agreement would be held in escrow until payment was received. I never received the agreed payment. The default judgment was subsequently vacated, leaving me to pursue the matter again. I have also personally spoken with three other families from this team who say they did not receive refunds. This review reflects my personal experience and is based on emails, payment records, court documents, and other records I have retained. I encourage anyone considering the Rockets to carefully understand the financial and refund terms before committing. I'm looking into additional legal actions. Families who believe they experienced a similar financial loss can contact me at Rocketskeptmymoney2@gmail.com

Entertainment was provided between innings (e.g. potato sack race, Mascot race, among other activities). Many choices for ballpark foods were offered, and some were even "healthy choices." Teams played hard as some, I expect, wanted to be noticed for their skills and offered a job with a major league team.

Suite/ Club Seats Review!!…read more My experience at Yankee Stadium was a GREAT one! We went to an afternoon game and had the privilege of experiencing the club level suite, and honestly, it was a 10/10 experience! Everything was seamless from the moment we arrived, from security and check in to getting our wristbands and entering the suite. Upstairs, it was more of a formal sit down dining experience with SO many food options. We're talking tacos, lobster tails, French toast with fresh berries. There was truly something for everyone! Downstairs was more relaxed and had many of the same options, plus even more. Burgers, hot dogs, sushi, a candy bar, ice cream with warm cookies. The list goes on! And it doesn't stop there. Outside in the club seats, there's another menu where you can order food and have it brought right to your seat, and it's included with your ticket! Everything is included except beer and wine. There are also coolers stocked with soda and water that you can grab whenever you want, plus peanuts. The staff constantly comes around to check on you, take orders, and bring drinks. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The only con is THE SUN! If you're going to an afternoon game on a hot day, be prepared because there is absolutely no shade. You WILL feel that sun! But the pro is that you're sitting close to the players and right in the middle of all the action, so the experience is hard to beat. We also lucked up with a little extra bonus because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in town to play the Jets, so some of the players were at the game. We even got to see Baker Mayfield, which was pretty sweet! And because celebrities are often in the suites, that's another fun perk to keep in mind. The food was AMAZING, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was worth every penny. If you've been on the fence about splurging on club seats and getting that suite experience at Yankee Stadium, JUST GO FOR IT! You won't regret it. 10/10. Absolutely worth it!

You can hear the crack of the bat and the chatter from the dugout without straining. Baseball as it should be seen. The Delaware River runs right behind the outfield. On hot nights the breeze rolls in off the water. It cools the air, turns the place into something comfortable when the rest of New Jersey is sweating. That is not something you can engineer. That is geography being kind. Parking is easy. Five dollars. Cash only. Plentiful and close. In a world where stadium parking often feels like extortion, this is practically charity. The food is not just food. It is a catalog of local pride. Case's Pork Roll. Killarney's. Rita's Italian Water Ice. Raccoon Saloon. Alongside these sit Colbie's Southern Fried Chicken and Boomer's BBQ. If none of that calls to you there are still the old standards. Hot dogs. Pretzels. Popcorn. Nachos. The ballpark classics are covered. There is even a picnic area down the left field line for groups who want baseball and burgers in equal measure. The ballpark is easy to get to. Right on Route 29 by the riverfront. Quick access to 29, 129, I-195, and I-295. No mazes. No confusion. A night here is affordable, easy, and close to the event in every sense. Five stars.

I tried making this trip when leaving the stadium early 3rd quarter and lines ran 3 sections over.

It ended up being one of the most fun concert nights I've had in forever. I saw Set It Off, Zero 9:36, and Hollywood Undead... in the pouring rain... and it somehow made everything even better. The whole lawn has a gentle hill so you can see the stage from pretty much anywhere. Plus it's all general admission, which means you can wander, get closer, hang back by the buildings, sprawl out on the grass whatever fits your vibe in the moment. The acoustics were solid, the energy was wild, and we even got to meet a few of the Zero 9:36 guys afterward, which basically cemented the night as iconic. If you like flexible viewing, good sound, and concerts that turn into core memories because of the weather, the chaos, and the crowd SteelStacks is absolutely worth it.

The dessert option included Italian water ice, which were chemically infused cherry flavored frozen ice without wooden spoon, just bendie plastic spoons available in plastic wrapped knife, fork and spoon napkin sets leaving you to toss the unused utensils in the trash, for the $3.00 price of the water ice you can afford the 10 cent paper wrapped biodegradable wooden spoons!
