Showed up for a bday party that to drop off a gift and had to pay full price a person, even thought there was only 50min left for the event. This place doesn't give any type of discount for seniors, military or its vets. When ask about it they, laugh and said really. Very unprofessional i strongly recommend finding another place to host your event. The restrooms well the mens atleast are dirty soap and ass papper all over the floor. There is also a hole in the door where the lock is so someone can look in. If it was possible i wouldn't even give them 1 star. Please do yourself a favor and look for another venue. read more

I'm sure there's better skating rinks out there. I took my niece to skate and first I didn't think I'd have to pay just to watch her but I was wrong. Ok, 12 bucks I'll never see again, fine but the rules are outrageous. Don't be a beginner and expect to hold to the wall they won't allow it. Also, don't forget something in the car because they won't allow you to re enter unless you pay again. Total rip-off. The overall vibe is horrible and I would never come back here. read more

First, TERRIBLE Customer service!!! They have their rules ass backwards. If your a beginner don't you think you need the wall?? Oh!! No!! Not them you gotta make your squrlly ass to the middle all the way through the fast skaters almost getting ran over to learn in the middle! I will NEVER return there. N as a kid we skated there for many years. Bring back skate junction!! These people are TERRIBLE!!! N the music sucked!!! I don't even want to give you one star but I have to do that in order to post this. read more

The staff is rudeeeeeeee, most equipment if not all is broken. Would not recommend. Pretty expensive for low quality. Spend your money else where read more

Great 11th birthday party, the kids had fun! My daughter loved skating and the bowling with thy party package. Food was good, staff helpful.

Was invited to a birthday party here on a Saturday and I'd have to say I'm impressed. The employees seemed very kind and patient. They enforced safety rules. The bathrooms were clean. The food was delicious especially the chicken salad and pizza. It seemed like they kept the whole establishment pretty tidy and kept up on. It wasn't too crowded. The roller rink had a nice flow to it and we had a great time. Definatley going to look into party packages. read more

We recently got into roller skating and found this place on Yelp. We're based in Corona so couldn't miss out on the opportunity to check this rink out. While the entrance is a bit weird, once in it was pretty neat. It's definitely aged as it's been around a long time, but the rink was nice, the DJ was on point with good tunes, the vibes were great, people smiling and having a great time! We genuinely enjoyed our experience and look forward to coming back! Thanks Skate Express!! read more

Always a good time! Could use some updates to the bathrooms, etc. But I come to adult nights sessions (Sat/Sun)and travel an hour because the music is great and atmosphere is cool. The guards may kill your ears with the whistles though. Rather come here than Moonlight, which is closer to where I live but sucks on many levels. read more

This place is awesome for being open! They have a floor and your can rent skates! The music is pretty good too. Go!

The party package was ok but someone got injured and so skating was shut down until it was taking care of. They did not and do not compensate or reimburse you for the hours that were lost that you paid for. read more

1st. The check in process sucks. Why not start letting people in at 15 minutes but not allow anyone on the floor until 3:30. Then you should have both windows open right when your open. You should tell people if they don't have their digital tickets, then don't get in line. Questions go to the window. All the rules, I get it but have someone ref and tell people instead of stopping the music every song. Skate are old and do not run small, stop telling people that. Rink is small. Also, my sister and I had to pay to watch out kids. I mean dam. Charge $5 instead of the full price. Stood in line for over 20 minutes to get water. Very inefficient. You have 2 people working the counter. How about one take orders and the the other get the orders. Won't be coming back. read more

I have been going to the Moonlight Rollerway and decide to to this weekend to this location because of the convenient time sessions. It was Super crowded with Birthday Parties at the 12-3pm session. I think my biggest complaint was the Dj! He was less of a DJ and more of a skating patrol!! All o wanted to hear was music, but what we all heard was rules and guidelines about dress code,and safety guidelines at one point he just stopped the music and everyone stoped at the rink and lecture all of is what seemed like 10 min... this is why they have skater coaches on the rink to take care of this. I did like the bumper cars!! That was fun. read more

Very good service! Very clean! The workers went out of there way to make the experience much more enjoyable, the manager Deleshia was beyond helpful and attended to all our needs swiftly, with a great personality and a big smile on her face, definitely the place to go to plus the amazing music they play in there. read more

Our daughter had her 10th birthday party at Skate Express. They let her have a costume themed party as long as the costumes were skate safe, meaning no costumes would drag the floor or restrict them from being able to skate freely. They had a lot of fun. Their favorite part was the bumper cars. The staff was really nice and the hostess did a great job! read more

It's a Saturday at 11 pm and I count what 19 people on the skating rink? Hmm.. music is poppin' why so boring I wonder. It's about 30 mins away from us but since they closed Cerritos I guess this is it. It's clean, not crowded, plenty of parking available. It's next to taco bell in case you get the munchies. $11 admission, plus $3 if you're renting skates. read more

I had the WORST experience at this skating place me and my cousins came to have a good night after. we drove an hour because it was the closest, We came to celebrate a birthday but sadly was denied because we were under 18 to go to the I'm guessing 6-11pm thinking it was a good time to go but was denied. I understand it was for 18 and older but it should have been said in the website. We ended the night doing nothing because of this. read more

Had a good family vibe. Came for a kids birthday party. I want to check out the adult night vibe soon.

What a horrible experience with a staff that has little to no consideration. We came to bring in the new year and one of our family members has a cast. I explained this and asked to have her use an aid and they had no consideration and refused to budge. The gentleman was short with me and had little customer service skills. Where has customer service gone? This is my first time here and last. read more

Our office had our Galantines Skating Event here and I loved it so much! Had not skated in 20 plus years! This facility is awesome with friendly staff, organized and clean environment! I will be coming back to skate. read more

Took my old speed skates out from over 25 years my girlfriend of almost 4 years to this rink and had a blast. I'm gonna try to get her to go more. read more

I want to start off by saying the vibes here were pretty great. I feel like we came on a good day, a lot of people had their own custom skates and were all dancing. But that's about all I liked. It was the 20+ freestyle Friday. My friends and I are decent skaters and thought we'd try this place out. (Weird hours, it closes for 30 minutes in between skate times). My friend called them and wanted to ensure they accepted walk ins or if we should buy our tickets online. The lady said "you know we close and then open at 9 right?" And my friend said "yea we were gonna go to the 9 o'clock" then she goes "you know there's an age limit right?" And my friend just said yes 20+. The attitude she was given over the phone was rude but not enough to quite throw us off yet. Once we got there there was a security guard and we had to walk through a metal detector. The security guard was also like staring pretty intently at us. Next we go inside and get our skates. I'm order to use a locker you have to pay 75 cents. That's not a problem per say. (I think the lockers should have resettable codes and should be complimentary to your visit ‍). As I was walking up to the floor with my very small crossbody bag, the referee lady said I can't bring my bag on. So I had to put it in my locker, but the locker locks after you pay and in order to lock it you have to pay again! So I went up to the front desk to ask for assistance and she just told me I have to pay everytime I open and close my locker. So the signs say NO PHONES, NO BAGS, NO LOOSE ITEMS. So you literally can't have anything with you but you have to pay everytime you want to check your phone or put on chapstick? Hmm. Next, I'm a decent skate but not great. I usually have to warm up to it. So I'm skating on the outer circle of the rink, and I at one point grabbed the wall. The referee lady whistled at me and told me beginner/slow skaters can only skate in the inner circle so that advanced skaters can do tricks. Only a few reasons why this bothered me: 1. Everywhere I've ever gone, ice rinks and skating rinks, beginners are on the outer parts because there is a wall to grab onto. 2. The inner circle is harder considering there is more sharp turns and less straight pathways. 3. I think if they're advanced enough they know to just skate passed me?? Whatever it was not too big of a deal so I went in the middle ish but I ended up going back on the outside because it's more fun and I didn't fall at all and I was keeping up, also it's freestyle Friday. The referee kept watching me like I was breaking a million rules. Reading other reviews I completely agree and would like to add: they definitely only cater towards their advanced regulars and it is not beginner friendly at all. When I was told to go to the middle, I was going a little slow but I wasn't wobbly or falling. There were advanced skaters going slower than me but not told to move. If we're going the same speed and not falling, I don't see why I need to move... None of these were that terrible but all added up I got so frustrated read more

This Location is Open today, Monday February 17th, 2020. Happy President Day All. I give Skate Express a 5 Star review because this is a fun friendly and family atmosphere. No Drama here, No Judgement and they have skating assistance apparatus to help those who are learning to skate. read more

I went last Sunday for the Adult skate night, which for anyone 21 and over, so I figured it would be a bunch of kids around my age and the music would be mostly like today's top 40 hits or whatever. So when I get there I was surprised to find that the crowd was mostly older people and that the music was only like 70s r & b slow love jams. It was like make love to your wife on the roller rink night, with lots of older couples slow dancing in their skates. The music and crowd were definitely not my thing, we were very out of place, including myself and my friends there was like 5 people there that weren't black. The music was just terrible! It was not fun music at all for roller skating. Not the "Dj playing today's top hits," that their website promised. The rink is kind of old and dirty like most rinks, but the uneven carpeting makes skating around more difficult than it already is. The arcade games were off and steal your quarters when they are on. The manager seemed annoyed that we wanted to play Air Hockey and that he had to turn on the machines for us. I've been to other roller rinks with better games that are actually on. The staff obviously sucks, and they're bad at promoting their different nightly themes. Never have I been to something like this where I was completely clueless on what the music and atmosphere would be like. That's why websites and descriptions exist, right? Unless they start explaining and describing their event nights better, I might just stick to World on Wheels in Los Angeles, because in spite of the traffic it's still a better roller rink. read more

Skate Express - Skate Express - Skating Rinks Near Me - Chino, California

I've been skating here for years and I can really say that the service is amazing and unmatched. In the age of covid, it's nearly impossible to find roller skates anywhere and David and Ruben allowed me to come in and purchase skates! I'm excited to put my developing roller skating skills to the test in the rink once it's perfectly safe again. If you guys are looking for a great roller rink, I cannot stress Skate Express enough! Pay them a visit after the pandemic! read more

I'll start with the good! Yay for a local skating rink. The rink is decent! Good size, well staffed, keeping people following rules. The atmosphere needs a major upgrade. Everything is from the early 90's.... love the colors and theme but it's just soooo run down. I could get past this part IF the food was edible. Physical activity = hungry kiddos! Omg seriously the pizza was DISGUSTING. The kitchen was pretty gross looking. 50cents for water... come on.... at least put in a fountain for the kids. This place needs some serious TLC. We won't be back... which is a bummer. read more

Skate Express - The nastiest pizza ever.... - Skating Rinks Near Me - Chino, California

***Beware of overcharges*** I had my daughter a party here with the bowling. One lane was not working but they did offer discount. Everything was going okay until I started to get late party guests. When the bill came they said they lost the guest list. I knew people didn't come but still paid full amount. My sister first told me they charged her at the door. Refused her and another guest WHO WAS ON THE LIST and they had to pay admission and rental. Then I found out another one of my guests had to pay and for all three of her children! I was outraged. Not only did I pay in full, they accused my guests of lying and told them they had to pay. I called management and they didn't resolve the issue. In total I paid over 2 adults and 2 kids WHO DIDNT SHOW. And on top of that my 3 adults and 3 children OVERPAID. They kept over $200 besides the $400 I paid for the party. But that isn't the best part! My friend had a party there a week after. Me and another mom went to the window, said our party host name and ours. Surprise! We weren't on the list. She was holding a paper and said not one of us were on the list, 7 of us, and we either had to pay in full. Or call the host ourselves. It was a scam!! To shame us to call the host, that's embarrassing. So then I told the other mom I was going to call and MAGICALLY she found our names on the list. This place will scam you if you're not careful. It's a real shame to overcharge guests when honestly it isn't the greatest place. I will definitely be spreading the word of these scammers and I hope you're careful if you come here. read more

When I went with my friend it was fun however I knew like 5 songs out of the whole entire list of songs. It made it a little hard to enjoy my time there. The DJ was DJ Pete . The music they are supper to play is r&b and the music he played was some sort of pop that I have never heard read more

The place needs management to spend money fixing things. There's 3 ran down arcade games, and a really small area for bumper cars that they should maybe remove and add an actual arcade. Everything is old and ran down. They were really packed, not a lot of room to skate. So it's not like they're not getting money to be able to update the place. Fix the place up. read more

Took my daughter and autistic cousin to this place to have the kids enjoy a night out together. However after we arrived I purchased tickets and what they call a 'skate mate' for my autistic cousin, since he doesn't know how to skate. We go inside grab our skates and I go to get a 'skate mate' and they now tell me he's too big, but it wasn't until we got inside AFTER purchasing everything that they tell me this. I tried explain to a woman and a man that he needs the help because of his autism and only received a "oh that's too bad, I'm sorry". Still fine, but when I asked for a refund I was then told "Sorry, all sales are final" when there are literally NO signs that say such a thing about refunds on skates and entrance and even after only being in there for less than 10 minutes and not finding out that the extra help for my cousin wouldn't be available because he was too tall. Definitely never going back to this place and I suggest anyone with a loved one with special needs stay far away as well read more

The parking is hectic and very notices and trash everywhere after you leave and the music is lousy and they allow the others who skates speeding like a race car and knock you down and they have been Paramedics there often because people gets seriously injured due to speed skating. I would Never go back and do not recommend this place to anyone they have no RULES read more

Skate Express is amazing. Just as fun as I remembered it. Can't wait to continue to come back and enjoy the music, skates and more.

Will never be going here again had a terrible experience with the staff very rude and not friendly at all. They will tell you something about your clothes if not covered up properly I had a crop top on and one of the mangers told me if I come back again to cover up note this is a male who told me this !!!! Never got told this at another skating rink. read more

So I wanted something memorable for my 45th birthday. I booked a skate party at Skate Express! I went in, in person because I had very specific needs. I met with Jessica, got a ton of information and booked the "Private Royal Package". I had conversations with Jessica about my needs and how I needed a private room. There were 3 private room, 2 of which she showed me via their reservation folder that were available on the day I needed. One room was not private, it had 3 walls and a counter. The other was the Royal Room which was a private room with just a door. We made jokes about who doesn't want to be the queen for a day and Instagraming pics in the throne etc. I left excited and impressed. Day before my party I had a couple phone conversations with people verifying my reservation and food plan. Very friendly and information was accurate. I arrive the day of my party, check in and walk to the Royal Room only to find someone else's party name on it. I check all of the party tags and find my name on the 3 walled non-private room. It was all too good to be true. I approached Jessica and told her I was in the wrong room. She argued with me a bit that this was the room I had booked, but offered to look into it. She remembered me booking it and said she could not understand what had happened. She suddenly found another reservation in the folder that was book the day prior to my booking for the same room. She said there was nothing she could do, but would only charge me for the party room. She basically solved the issue by saying she was only going to charge me for the crappy room they had given me, which I did not want. I explained that this did not solve my problem. She offered to get her supervisor Josh Carpenter. He decided to handle my situation by sighing in my general direction which not making eye contact with me and repeated everything Jessica had already told me in a monotone and rehearsed tone. When he finished I again explained my reasons for requiring the private room (this was due to my guest list which included some people with special needs). He rolled his eyes at me and said he was sorry in a manner befitting a sibling being forced to apologize. I stated that this did not help my situation at all. He pulls out a flyer and circles a phone number, then slides it across the counter at me and says "then you can leave and here is out phone number to deal with your problems". I asked him if I was suppose to stand outside and wait for my 30 guests to arrive to tell them the party was canceled? As I spoke he turned away from me mid sentence and walked back into his little booth. Jessica saw this happening and jumped in to approach me and take over where Josh Carpenter had left off. Jessica offered oligopolies, which I appreciated, but there were no offers of any actions to make anything better or right. I had to ask Jessica if Josh Carpenter was really a supervisor, based on his inept attitude and lack of the most common courtesy, manners or customer service ability. Jessica offered to call the President of the company to see if there was anything that could be done. She approached me after a few minutes to tell me that she had texted him, David, the president f the company. He had told her she could give me a $20 discount because of the room mix up. Please note that $20 was the difference in price between the two rooms already. So David, the President of the company reiterated that they would allow me to pay for the crappy room that they decided I would have, and didn't want. She gave me a phone number to call him myself, and said he is was expecting me to call him. I went outside to call him and realized that the phone number she gave me was for Skate Express, which means he was in the building and count not be bothered to come talk to me in person himself. That told me all I needed to know. I didn't bother calling him. Meanwhile, I have guest arriving and this is how I spent the first hour of my 3 hour party. I ended up having to call the guest that would not be able to attend due to the room, and let them know the situation. They all ended up having to cancel their attendance. This caused me to have to pay for 10 people to skate, and not even have 10 people skating. I had no choices and was stuck. I regret 100% planning this party and choosing Skate Express for it. The rudeness and general lack of anything given by Josh Carpenter cemented that I will not be returning to Skate Express as long as he is there, and I will encourage anyone else to do the same. There is no place in customer service for someone who is clearly either to high or too dumb to comprehend what his job is. read more

Went here with my kids and their cousins and they had a lot of fun. The place is a little dated and the bathroom is kind of dirty, but I don't think the kids will notice. As for the adults, if you're not skating, it's going to be a long day. Most of us were just sitting around playing with our smart phones. read more

Skate Express - Sitting on one of the benches look directly at the rink. - Skating Rinks Near Me - Chino, California

For something that seems like it has gone to the wayside this place is doing great for memories! We came with my nephews and son. I hadn't skated in well over a decade, and the first time for my son. But we had fun! Good music, they need to get a few songs without the explicit lyrics so they don't have to mute the bad words. Overall though great price for what you're getting and snacks and drinks were decent prices too. They have skate mates to help unsteady skaters, but be careful of falling children (so many of them) read more

Classic fun. This place has not changed much since I was a kid. Classic roller skating. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. I now take my daughters to the place my mom used to take me. A Chino tradition. read more

Had lots of fun going with friends, would come back again. Although, there are strict rules that goes on the skating rink, but it keeps people from getting injured or not being reliable for whatever happens to valuable items. Did not have any issues while I was there. read more

Skate Express - Skating Rinks Near Me - Chino, California

My family and I have been here numerous times and we had an awful time today. Skate express has people in striped shirts that enforce the rules but today the lady who should've been enforcing rules was not. She did not say a word to people going around the rink in the wrong direction. She was not helping people get up after they fell and she was talking to people and blocking the way for no reason. If you want to go then make sure not to go on Sunday at 5. read more

Came here for the first and last time tonight. The older woman at the ticket booth was super rude to my niece regarding her top and how it was inappropriate. I also brought my toddler so she can skate with the rest of my family. Initially, I brought her trainer skates and they weren't a good fit, so I decided to rent skates. The nice gentleman sold me a ticket and I obtained a pair. I had to exchange for a bigger size minutes later. The rude woman from the ticket booth decided to poke her nose into my business and tell the other employee that helped me that I didn't pay for skate rental after I had walked off. Unbeknownst to her, my mother was standing at the counter to purchase additional items. When my mom corrected her, she later stated she couldn't hear well. Maybe she should stick to collecting tickets and mind her own business. All this over 5 damn dollars. read more

Give Thanks for a place in Southern California that rolls late night. The DJ was hilarious and the Sound System that surrounds the rink creates a Wall of Sound with a massive setup of mounted JBL speaker for quality assurance. Never have I been to a place where you can listen to bass heavy club music and hear the rasta dem shout glory unto JAH inna simultaneous vibe. The red gold and green surrounding the mouth of the rink is a wonder. HIGHLY BLESSED read more
