They are very lax with enforcing the mask requirement, which was disturbing. Adult and children patrons, as well as staff, not wearing masks or improperly wearing masks risks everyone's safety. The Snack stand makes snacks to order, so I had to wait 15 minutes for an undercooked, doughy pretzel and a semi-decent slice of pepperoni pizza which costed me nearly $7. The upside is that there weren't a lot of people present and they didn't charge a "spectator" fee, which is something new that Skateland implemented for non-skating patrons.

If you're looking for affordable fun for all ages the Avon Ice Rink is the place to go! I was…read moreliterally laughing the entire time I was on the ice! The bumper cars are more like CrAzY cars, they don't always go in the direction you want them to... I'm not sure if that's on purpose or not but it made for some pretty hilarious videos! I pre purchased our tickets online, you can choose your day/time slot and it's $5 per person... when you arrive and check-in you're given a colored wrist band(every hour is a different color), then you wait in line for your turn on the ice. Once on the ice you bump and slide into other bumper cars for 5 min and then return to the end of the line... during our hour we had three turns on the ice. We did allow a few people to go ahead of us a few times so that we could all be on the ice at the same time, so if you have a smaller group you may have more turns on the ice than we did. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because during our hour random parts kept appearing on the ice: screws, brackets... they didn't pause to inspect the cars and during our last ride the motor fell off the bottom of the car my sister was in... This was something none of us had done before and was a lot fun! I'd definitely go again!!

The tickets included one draft beer, 2 hrs. of Bumper Cars and a cupcake as we left. You could buy additional beers if wanted. Hubby had two Sun King Octoberfest while I had Hot Chocolate and two chocolate chip cookies right from the oven. It was difficult at first to know where to check in but after walking around for a couple minutes it was clear. The lines were long for the Bumper Cars but it moved quickly. We had the opportunity to go several times throughout the night. The food truck, A Small Town Throw Down, folks were super friendly. They offered food and hot chocolate and more. I posted the hours but I didn't see what days they have ice skating vs. Bumper Cars. You'll need to call. The Ice Rink is in Washington Township Park. It's a gorgeous park with many recreational opportunties. The park is 160 acres plus a preserved wooded area and a great deal of open green space. This park has so many incredible amenities. There is a 24 foot Gazebo, two playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, horseshoe pits, a basketball court, a splash pad, 4 covered picnic facilities, and an outdoor fitness station. If that's not enough to get your interest then let's talk about these amenities. The Pavilion Center is where the office is. It is also an Event Center that can be used for indoor weddings/events, a Paw Park with 3 separate fenced in areas for all size of dogs. 5 plus miles of trails and of course the historic 1876 Whipple Iron Truss Bridge. Lots of activities for any ages. It can be a quite sanctuary or a space to be very active. Stop by this gorgeous park and find your favorite activity and don't forget the Bumper Cars.

Part of the skate floor was cut off to promote more birthday parties. It's common knowledge that management does not care about the skaters because it was said they don't generate enough revenue.

You have to pay for those too. The fee includes "all you can eat pizza" and the pizza is not that great. Their skates are disgusting, extremely old and in serious need of replacing. We took our skates back up to ask for better ones 3 times before just giving up and trying to make do. Each time, we asked them to please give us skates without broken laces, IN THE LEAST. Each time, we received another pair with broken laces, broken toe stitching, and skates that looked like they had been both barfed on and falling apart. We have skated here on 2 different Sunday afternoons, and had the same experience both times. It is utter chaos on the rink. Yes, obviously Sunday afternoons are more family friendly and a better time for small children to skate. But there isn't anyone monitoring the floor to ensure everyone's safety or to correct dangerous actions like people skating in the wrong directions or even flat out laying across the floor. We watched as a couple of teen girls flopped down on the floor, sprawled out in the path of skaters, and then passed a phone around to show someone they were facetiming how they had all "wiped out." It took a major pile up of people falling over them before they decided they should get up.

The woman employee at the admission counter was extremely helpful with the waivers process. The admission price and skate rental was affordable and not too high considering the length of stay (as long as you want until 9 pm). The high school teen girls had fun for a few hours and that's what is most important. Lockers are available for your shoes and purses. They cost four quarters. A decent snack bar is available as well. Parking is no issue since the parking lot is huge. Not all lockers are functioning correctly but that's par for the course. I've never been to a skating rink with new or fully functioning lockers. It's no big deal in my opinion, lose four quarters and move on to the next locker as far as I'm concerned. I'm just mentioning this for the inexperienced skaters.

My daughter is 19 months…read moreold so, we decided to take our first girl's trip here for a weekend in Carmel to coincide with the 5k hosted at this market. It does feel authentic - but it's cramped into this small, adorable city center area which is super cute. Problem, it's a small, cramped space and was difficult to even walk down the rows (like, so cramped you were just stopped elbow to elbow pushing against people not moving) and with my daughter's stroller it was a nightmare. The lines for food were at least 50 people deep for every single vendor so, if you wanted to sample multiple things you'd be waiting hours... They did have authentic German souvenirs and the boot mugs are adorable! Lots of cute places for photo ops. There were some issues - the penny press didn't work and took my $.51 and gave me a mangled, flat penny. I had dollars and pennies but no quarters and literally no one vendor or place here had change. I feel you should not have a penny press without offering people change... it should be located in one of the customer help/service tents. The 5k was fun and well-done - small group of around 2500 runners and starts and ends at the market. It was nice bc I got to see the spaces and walk around and take some pictures without the crowds. If we ever come back, it'll be much earlier in the season and during a week day to avoid the insane crowds we had on the last Saturday before Christmas. I think the 5k should be earlier in the season so it'll be warmer and less crowded.

Every year they have a different Christkindlmarkt mug with the year and new theme to collect. This year we were delighted to experience a glassblowing event. Artists visit from Germany had a demo making glass ornaments and it was fun to watch and nice to be warm and indoors for a bit. Purchased a gorgeous glass hummingbird ornament as a gift for my mom. I love standing by the fire near giant lit up windmill eating the boiled potatoes topped with raclette cheese, bacon and onions. Something we look forward to every year. They added shuttle this year and there is also free parking in a couple lots nearby if you're lucky enough to snag a spot or get there early enough. Arrive early if you can! Bundle up and do a little Christmas shopping and even ice skating if you're up for it. There are tons of unique gifts and food and drinks to try. Enjoy!

It also doesn't hurt that I grew up in 4H and going to the county fairs to show.

A few of our favorites include the Soybean Alliance barn (great for young kiddos and air conditioned), the Horticulture/Ag building with Indiana Grown vendors, honey ice cream and butter carving, tractor/ trailer rides around the large property and last but certainly not least, visiting all of the animals and enjoying a few of the livestock shows. This year, we caught a western style horse show, dairy cow show and sheep showmanship. I love seeing how captivated my two and five year old are in watching this process (not to mention all of these independent farm kids show animals).

My younger child (lower elementary age) was bored after about 45 minutes, but your mileage may vary. Boss Battle Games has a lot of cabinet-style arcade games, like Centipede, Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat and others. All of your Gen-X and Millennial video game dreams will be fulfilled here. They also have some pinball machines -- some you can play for an extra fee, and some seemed like they could be played with the price of admission. There are also some interactive games, like Dance Dance Revolution. Speaking of admission: You pay $15 for a wristband that grants you access to almost all of the video games, and you can come and go all day. If you're really into playing video games, this is a great deal. They don't sell any food or beverages here, so if you want something to eat or drink, you'll need to leave and come back. But since Boss Battle Games is located inside Castleton Mall, there are lots of places to find something to eat around the area.
