A little outdated, but still so much fun. The staff has always been friendly, and it's such a nostalgic, entertaining place for kids and families. A great, cheaper option for kid's birthday parties. read more

This place reminds me of my childhood in the 80s. Our family has gone several times for school sponsored events and birthday parties. The birthday parties were reasonably priced, btw. The rink is in good condition. The place was reasonably clean given the amount of kids that run through there. The music was age appropriate and fun. The skates were in fair condition but are all well used. They have those wheeled skate walkers for younger kids who don't know how to skate yet. But be warned that in a big group, those run out fast. While they also have a few video games, claw machines, etc., those cost a ton for what you get. Better to spend your money on a slice of pizza and the skating imho. Overall, the kids have a blast and always want to go back. read more

As an 80's kid, I love this place. It's a flashback to the excitement of 5th grade drama. Impress your kids with your skills or just drop them off here, and kudos to you if you don't break anything (Charity). Staff is friendly, it is well run, and they know how to manage crowds of teens. Earlier in the evening is more family friendly, and music lyrics get sketchy later on weekend nights. read more

It is very nice to still have some options for indoor roller skating! The staff is very nice. I asked, who I thought was the manager, if they sold skate washers as I needed some for new wheels I just got. He gave me all that I needed plus some! Very kind! This is the rink I went to went I was young and now I get to take my daughter. Make sure to sign up for their emails to learn about specials or double check their site before visiting. I did take away a star for the stall sizes and the rink itself. The stalls are far too small and could be extended out. The rink is tiled which in itself is fine but there is warping on the edges. I know it's older but that makes it a little hard when still a new skater. Additionally! They no longer take song requests at the dj booth...bummer. read more

After sharing my honest experience in a respectful and factual review on google reviews, the business owner replied with a shockingly hostile response--accusing me of being rude and unreasonable, claiming they "spoke with members of my party" (which did not happen), and essentially telling me I'm not welcome at any of their locations. Ironically, the manager did admit during the party that he holds his staff to a standard and acknowledged that what I described "was not acceptable." To which the owner's response stated my attitude "and conduct towards the staff and others was nothing short of embarrassing. Our manager tried to accommodate for you and work with you in regard to the issues you claimed to have" This seems to be a pattern: if you leave a negative review, they attack your character instead of taking responsibility. I stand by my original review, and I find it telling that rather than addressing valid concerns, they chose to fabricate interactions and publicly shame a paying customer. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your child's celebration. A business that handles feedback with such hostility is not one I'd trust with any special occasion. read more

Great place to skate. Friendly staff. They also support competitive roller skating. Whether speed skating or rink hockey they have you covered. read more

Some of the games didn't work but skating was so much fun and they played so much good music

The floor is tile, not wood like others are. It had obvious spots of repair that looked like they would snag skates, but actually rolled pretty well. I went to this location because of the music eras listed for adult skate nights. The adult skate at the OP location played only one genre style music, and not a single song I knew in 2 hours. Unfortunately, Shawnee only played one genre of the 70s music, none of which I knew. I was expecting pop music. It was mostly R&B/Soul. NO Queen, Bee Gees, Beach Boys, ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Beatles, Chicago, Croce, Michael Jackson (did play one Jackson 5)... where was 'Jeremiah was a Bullfrog'... not here. I did like they reverse skated a bit. The announcer was dogging the chiefs the week before the superbowl, so that wasn't cool to me. I didn't try the concession stand or restroom. If I drove the distance to this location again, I'd take a headset. But I can do that at the OP location and not drive as far, so not likely. read more

If you have an autistic kid don't go there. My daughter was having so much fun and this was our second time going and never had any issues the first time. My daughter is still a learner and was having some trouble skating but she was trying. Well today I had the manager approach me and tell me I had to get my daughter off the skate ring in a very rude and aggressive way. My daughter was just trying to learn and I made sure she was in the center of the ring to avoid issues with other skaters. I proceeded to tell him she was autistic and that she has a little difficulty learning he didn't seem to care as right away he told me he was going to help me walk her out of the ring. I don't understand why he didn't give me the option to have her skate on the side of the ring as all the other learner kids that were also there learning. I felt very discriminated by his attitude towards me and my daughter. I was very excited for this to be a new activity for my daughter with autism. read more

Kids had fun tor my daughters 6th Birthday. It was a little pricey at almost $200 for 1 1/2 hour table rental, 2 pizzas, clean up, skate rental for 15 people and extra skate rental for a later date. But all and all it was really worth it and my daughter said it was the best birthday ever. read more

See all

Had a great time! Only downfall are the skaters going too fast and knocking out other skaters and those little kids learning how to skate with those instruments on wheels as helpers. Those aren't so bad, really, but the kids going the wrong direction whose parents are MIA are pretty dangerous. read more

My family's favorite skating rink in the metro area. We drive from Blue Valley to go to this location. The employees are the biggest draw. Attentive and friendly. At the other locations they seem to be too busy skating and showing off (or on their phones). Here you will find great employees. The music is so much better as well! We will be back. read more

The staff is awesome and very accommodating. This was the first time we used a skating rink for a birthday party. The kids had a blast. I highly recommend the 12:00 noon - 2:00 p.m. time slot. The part read more

We have been coming here for birthdays for years now. I was surprised to see the place has had a facelift since we were there last time. I was excited to see the advertisement for the adult skate night- thinking to myself about getting a sitter and takin the wife out for an evening of roller passion. It's been at least a year since we were here and gone are the stained ceiling tiles, rickety tables and skanky cinderblock walls. Unfortunately there are still improvements to be made. Tables needed cleaned, and floors needed swept. We had a situation where the ticket counter did not count our tickets accurately. After loading in at least a good forty tickets with my three year old, I realized that the machine wasn't even counting them. It counted 60 plus tickets as a messily 13. This wasn't a big deal because basically my kid got to pick from low budget candy items. 50 tickets was the difference between a mint and a tootsie pop. All in all, the kids had a great time skating and dancing at the birthday party. We will be back, I'm sure and I hope to update my review at that time. read more

I have been to several skate places in the metro (usually on Saturday/Sunday afternoons), but I have to say that this is the most crowded with kiddos that I have ever seen. This is a great place for you if you have children who are learning to skate, since they have wheeled frames that the kids can lean on while learning. I have never seen anything like this and, as you will see, i am not a big fan (see below). On the other hand, if you are an adult who knows how to skate this is VERY SCARY! Tons of kids and frames on the floor, literally, create a land-mine effect, just waiting to trip you and create some sort of broken/sprained/twisted joint situation that is very unsavory. The music was pop, for the most part, and there were the traditional skate games of limbo and freeze. I did not hit the snack bar, but they appeared to have standard fare. The skates were very nice (clean and new-looking), and they also have in-lines, if that is your thing. I would go back, but just as a warning to those with limited skills or patience, I'd uggest looking in to hitting up the 18 and over events that they have, or you are destined to take a tumble. read more

Can you dig it? Those days of rollerskating back in the 70s and 80s arent forever gone! Skate World has been around ever since I was a little rugrat, and it has kept up through the decades, rollerskating, bubble gum machines, video games, snack shop, prize station. What more could a kid want? On the first Thursday of every month is ADULT NIGHT! back to DISCO, AND 80's! I havent personally gone to that, but it sounds like fun hehe. My daughter loves coming here, of course its always a great time to go with friends :D On MKL jr day we spent 5 hours there! what the heck? but it was worth it, my daughter had a good time, they had dollar hot dogs and slices of pizza for 1.25, pretty good price. On Presidents Day they are going to do it again, 11 - 4 pm 5 HOURS of skating for 7.25 Good Times and Good Memories read more

This is a formal complaint coming from a mother who just wanted her child to have an amazing 13th birthday. Remember, consumers choose where they want to spend their money. Saturday night, 9/30/17 my 13 year old son and his 7 friends went to Skate City Shawnee for his birthday party accompanied by his 18 year old sister; my daughter. The kids were verbally abused by both the manager Miranda and the DJ Alan whom were working that night. Per my daughter, along with her friend and boyfriend, the DJ was yelling and cursing out children because one of the kids called him a name. Soon to follow all 8 kids along with their adult Chaperones were "kicked out". The birthday boy went to get his presents from the party (including cash) from a cubby where their shoes were stored. To his surprise, all of his gifts and money were gone. The DJ told him he "threw it away, because it was trash." Then the manager and DJ forced the kids (screaming "get the (bleep) off my property or they were going to call LAPD",) completely off the property and all 9 of them had to wait at the business next door for their parents to arrive. We are paying customers and spent $150 of our hard earned money for my son to have a good birthday with his friends. How dare you ruin this time for him. Now, because of the actions of the employees, this will be the memory he has. Shame on you... #1) stealing from children?!? #2) Screaming and cursing out a child because they disrespected you? (Meaning you overheard a 12 year old call you a name, indirectly) Grow up. Be a professional. Be an example. I could go on and on. My husband called Skate City immediately and was told by the "manager" that he could not have the owners # and to file any complaints to skatecity.com. End of story. The employees of a kid friendly establishment need to respect all clientele. Regardless if they are kids, teenagers or adults. read more

This place is awesome!! All ages go there to have lots of fun. Mostly it gets really packed on Sundays which are teen nights. Many teens go there on dates or to have a good time with old friends. The staff is friendly and the DJ is good. The food is okay, not the best but still okay. Its pretty cheap. There are also small arcade games that you can play to win prizes. There is also couples skate and a special dance at the end where all the kids can go into the rink (no skates on) and dance from 10:00pm till 10:30pm. I suggest that you go and check it out. I know that your children and teens will love it. read more

I love quad skating, and checking out new rinks. I had been wanting to check this one out, and had that opportunity last Saturday, when I went to a birthday party. This place was SO disappointing. To start with, where's the floor? I don't think I'vemost ever been to a rink with a smaller floor. Tons of sitting space, but not much floor for skating. Cost was phenomenal for such a sad experience. Average about $3.50 higher than most I've been to around the greater kc area. That's not speaking of the concession mark up, or all the warning signs of "Not Respnsible" for everything or anything. Skating is usually something you do at your own risk, i get that. However they seem to have no responsibility for anything. Now for the service, wow! Dj played the Worst music I've Ever heard at a rink. When he was playing something. The staff was way under par, not enough employees and for the ones that where there..none knew how to do their job or what job was expected. My grand daughter even commented that the skate helpers on the floor didn't help anyone up. Sad she noticed, but probably good thing since they could barely skate themselves. Only 1 game was played, at a child's party. The limbo which went under once at our shoulders, came back around. It was at our ankles, never played that kind of limbo, guess it was way too get it over with, instead of interacting with kids. To sum it up...i would Never recommend a party here, a family putting here, and sure to what i observed about staff, i wouldn't leave my teen either. I'll drive put off my way to take them somewhere worthy of their money and love of sport. This place is a rip off and not a good one. So terribly disappointed. read more

I am a regular that goes here weekly. I usually go on saturday night when their is a mellow crowd with dates/ families and a minority of teens. I bring my kids here and I also am able to have a great time as well on sat nights 7:30 to 10. I have had my kids' birthdays here on the weekend afternoons multiple times as well. The birthday plans are very economical and there are a variety to choose from. Teen night on Fri. night would be great if I were around 12 to 16 years of age. And that is when the have the dance floor for a half hour at the end as well. Great place for the family, great way to burn some calories, and great way to have fun and not burn a hole in the wallet like a place like dave and busters or powerplay where I spent 100 in an hour! read more

We absolutely love roller skating. Today I met the owner & he believes strongly in passing this pass time on to our next generations. He spoke positively of his own passion towards having kids learn through movement. He said learning to skate can benefit children in many ways such as academically, behaviorally along with strengthening their skills in other sports capabilities. read more

Paid $90 for my two kids to take the Learn to Skate class. What a mess. In fact, it was so bad that we eventually gave up and left. No one cared. read more
