I never learned to skate as a child. I went to Skateworld with friends about seven years ago, but…read morenever continued to practice. Recently, two of my friends found out that I wanted to learn, so we all went out on a Sunday evening. Sundays, Skateworld closes at 8:30. We arrived at 6:30 which gave us plenty of time. Open skate and skate rental costs $25 per person. It felt a bit steep to me, but I realize that they don't make money on much else so it's really not bad. They offer lockers at a price. There is free filtered water. It was a bit odd when my friends brought me a gift bag with knee pads, that they said no gift bags of any kind were allowed. It seemed odd as I thought children had roller skating birthday parties at places like this. At least they let us take out the knee pads and carry in the empty bag. Anyway, the space wasn't too crowded on Sunday, so it was easy to practice. I also rented one of those little wheeled walkers so I didn't fall all over the place. I was a bit bummed to learn that they didn't offer lessons, outside of their monthly "academy". I would have loved to drop in for a single session. All in all, it was a pretty good time. I would return to skate again.

Got a text from them advertising a Sensory Friendly skate day on Sunday 10am-noon. I'm not sure I…read morewould call it Sensory Friendly. Yes, they play the music quietly and the lights are kept on, but there's so many screaming children with Skate Mates going in all directions that it gets overwhelming. I know they have a similar lunch skate times that are adult only at 10am-noon, but that's during the work day.

Being new and nervous, it took my daughter 5 minutes to go about 10 feet and when we asked they said they have no buckets or beginner helps to push along. Instead they sent us Marcella who was our angel! She spent 5-10 minutes giving us a beginner tutorial and helped my daughter get off the wall skating on her own. We had so much fun and I loved getting to see my daughter try something new. The facilities and rentals at SD Ice Arena are decent. There weren't many fresh beginners. It was fun to sit on the benches and watch the more experienced skaters when we finished.

One of the "warmer" rinks I've been to. - Great lighting & high ceiling for all my hockey Mom needs. - Bathrooms were a little run down looking but were clean. - Tons of lockers for personal items - Lots to do in the adjacent facilities. I'd love to check out the library & swim. - Mission coffee shop at the entrance of the arena. Cons: - Area is not the greatest in comparison to the arena. - Not much negative...honestly I'm a fan! Wish they were closer, I'd love this rink to be in my rotation!

The UTC Ice Sports Center is primarily an indoor ice skating rink located in the Westfield UTC…read moreShopping Centre, downstairs from the Dining Terrace. They have daily open skating sessions, as well as skating lessons and Ice hockey practices and games. General Admission with skate rentals is $30 per skater, but an annual pass for open skating (with skate rentals) can be had for $349. UTC Ice skaters can receive parking validation for a total of four hours of free parking. I skated on some the best ice rinks in the New Jersey and New York when I was younger, as well as on ponds and lakes in the winter. From what I have observed, UTC Ice is a very nice facility.
