The girls agreed that the bumper cars were fantastic. Taking a break from the bumper cars, the girls tried their hand at ice skating. One of the female staffers (sorry, I did not catch her name), went out of her way to help the non-skaters. The manager, Hunter, was helpful and his entire staff was a joy to work with. Thank you for making our daughter's birthday special.

When I'm there, hopefully he'll play that song, because it's very vibe and I wanna listen to that song while I'm there. Also the most important rule for me is "Do not Hold on to your children if you have skates on EVER! It's super dangerous!" It is very important, plus I don't want anyone to get hurt. Overall tho, very fun place! And I was hoping to be here either every Saturday or every other Saturday. Rose

Went to Skate America in Grove City and don't ever plan on going back. Their parking lot is small,…read moregravel, and has many holes. This is a very small facility; I've never seen a smaller roller rink. There should have been a cap of how many people allowed in, because it made skating and just moving around inside so difficult. Everything looks at least 30-40 years old here, our booth was wobbly and unstable. The carpet was old and stained. It was very challenging to move around on the carpeted areas, but also the rink, due to the extreme number of people in the building. I felt like I was in a packed bar or club. I can't overstate that there were way too many people and children. The rink itself is painted concrete, which I've never seen before. It is somewhat uneven, you can feel the small rises and falls in the concrete, but it's not too severe. There were A LOT of children with the little PVC skate-aid things, but skating as an adult was made extremely challenging & nearly impossible because of this. The music they played was fun, and there was some interactions from the DJ, like a backwards skate only, and "all girls only skate," and then "all boys only skate," for a song each. I did like that there are ceiling fans over the rink, to cool you down. The ceiling felt really low, which I think made the whole place feel even smaller. The bathrooms were pretty clean and well stocked, but I didn't like that there were no hooks on the bathroom stall doors. They did let me bring my water bottle in, which I appreciated. There were lockers, but we didn't rent one. Overall, this place is probably fine if you're a kid, but terrible if your an adult skater looking to skate. Go to United Skates or America on Refugee instead!!

You're not going to get a 5 star dinner here. The music is very family friendly, as well as the staff. One older woman walked around with my 11 year old stepdaughter the length of the rink her first time on skates. There's a wide selection of snack choices, from pickles to pizza, candy and soda. There's plenty of arcade games as well that dispense tickets the kids can exchange for prizes, but it's a huge waste of money in my eyes. (Ex: a plastic basketball is 200 tickets) I, as well as my family. will definitely be back.

The building is old and you have to climb steps to get to the top, walk down a little corridor to the ticket booth. They have a nice size rink. You've got to pay for your skate rental (unless you bring your own) and of course the cost to skate. It's very inexpensive! They have some disco lights and generally the music is a mix of pop and country. I've hosted at least one birthday here and attended a couple of others. It's not expensive at all to buy a birthday package. They allow you to bring in your own food and drink and they also have a concession for snacks. They have at least one or two pool tables and some arcades. A great place to bring the kids for some old school fun.

The owner went as far as private messaging anyone who even reacted to the post. Very unprofessional! Also, the claims that were made about a special needs adult as the business refers to him, seem farfetched to me as any video and pictures I ever see posted from parties at this place, there are plenty of grown adults on their inflatables. I've witnessed it myself, in person, as well. Just seems to me they wanted to justify not letting a special needs child on their equipment. Very rude and unprofessional actions!
