It is used for the snider hockey league games, I'm not sure about any other teams that they may have. Locker rooms are a decent size and the warm area is nice and large. The whole building is enclosed so it is safe from weather, unlike some of the rinks from back in the day.

Was looking for a place to take my son to roller skate while visiting the area. This roller skating…read morerink is poorly managed. There is no organization. No rules. They had about 8 people on staff for a Saturday. They advertised the grinch who came out for five minutes and we never saw him again. The kids were roller skating the wrong way. It was just mayhem. The party is area is right at the entrance and we couldn't get through. The music was NOT appropriate music for younger kids. It was terrible. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. Yuck

As you walk in, the place is nicely decorated with Christmas decorations and it was just an amazing vibe. We went and got our ice skating admission ticket and also rentals.

After, we went and got some drinks from the bar and the chocolate crimpet is so delicious and also the pumpkin IPA draft beer. Highly recommend going during the holidays!

On the other side they have little huts you can reserve with a nice seating area. Indoor restaurant with swings outside and cute tea lights up above. Would highly recommend.

Nice spot for outdoor ice skating that my son and I go to at least once per season. Right on the…read moreCooper River. Prices are reasonable and admission is not timed so you can skate all day if you want. The rink is pretty small and gets very crowded on weekends, mostly with people who are brand new to skating. They do have devices for young children to use to help them balance, but expect a lot of slow moving people trying to catch their balance. There is also a heated tent with tables, a snack bar and an arcade if you need a break from skating. The Christmas music and fire pits are also a nice touch.

I used to frequent this place a decade ago. I went here last evening for their 2024 December…read moreholiday setup and it was not good. The decor is pretty so you can take strategic photos to give the impression of a good time but it basically has an ice skating rink, dusty arcade, concession stands with generic carnival/fair food, a merry go round (pretty to look at but I could have a better time doing jug handles in Nj), fire pit seating (one open seating and the other reserved), and there's a $20 charge to park. Now I came here on a Wednesday night. The place was practically empty. The security scanned my friend, nephew, and me. However, my nephew's gf was not scanned bc the security guard says she looks safe/fine (she's a different ethnicity and I'll leave it at that). When we walked into the empty reserved fire pit section a security guard came over to redirect us bc this was the "paid/voucher" section. Now, we didn't even sit down and I was trying to ask him what else can we do here etc. he couldn't even focused on my questions just tunnel vision about having us go over to the free fire pit section. Like sir chill out all we we were trying to do is understand the area and how to navigate it. So we walk over to the free fire pit section the ambers from the pit blow in the wind and that's scary but we say there for maybe 5 mins bc again this place looks better than it actually is. We walked through the lack luster concession stand area to the arcade. My friend played guitar hero and one of the buttons didn't work so that's a fail plus he's a hard core guitar hero fan. We exited the arcade to go to the Ferris Wheel that no one was on. It's pretty. The security guards near that were actually nice and kind. We didn't ride it. I think that's a level of insanity I haven't reached to be the only ones on a giant rotating circle in the freezing cold. Now if I wanted a great photo mayhaps.... Then we paused realizing like a bug at a bug light in the summer this was a bad idea so we left. If you have tiny children under 11 they might enjoy the lights. If you're an influencer great place for holiday themed photos. If you're trying to show people new to Philly a good time..... then it's a no. It seems to be some construction too. The occupant space is small. I will say other summer or other festival types might be better. This Christmas holiday winter city thing is a hard pass. :( not happy
