It's more of a hockey rink than a figure skating rink. So the ice isn't the best for figure skating. The rinks are freezing. The lobby is small, a few tables with fixed seating - many of the chairs missing their backs. Lobby is cold. Not a place a parent wants to sit while waiting for the kiddo. (There is a Starbucks nearby). Parking seems to be ample.

Sadly disappointed. It seems adult public skating has been pushed to only weekends, with children…read moreincluded, which can be daunting to some seniors. Weekdays seem to be set aside for freestyle -- meaning you if pay for lessons you can also pay for ice time sessions during the week. Lessons for children start at about $25 per half hour and up. As an adult pre-covid, I paid $50 per half hour for a 6-week session and learned very little. Freestyle sessions are about $18 per hour. Although an incredibly healthy and wonderful sport for adults, it seems too challenging to actually attend on a regular basis during the week, especially if you just want to skate without paying for the additional cost of lessons. I'll have to dust off my roller skates and hit the rail trails and hope, that one day, they'll become more senior friendly in their schedule.

The process to register just to purchase tickets was horrendous and calling the establishment…read moreproved to be useless. Basically the staff continued to tell me I needed to register first before I could purchase ice time. They ended the statements with "okay" that was followed by a long pause. I called twice to no avail. No one was helpful at all. They also didn't say you could just pay in person. If they did, I would have just showed up and dealt with the poor customer service face to face. The website was even more difficult to navigate and I learned you have to log out and log back in after registration to be able to see actual ice times. It was not user friendly but maybe I am just old. The facility was over crowded, staff sent me to the counter to check in and the counter sent me to a separate desk as I didn't need to register but rather pick up my wrist band. If the staff listened I wouldn't have waited on the long line when I didn't need to and then be sent to a different line for a wrist band. The bathroom was disgusting. There was spit dripping off the faucet and some kind of something gross in the other sink. I was pretty sure the bathroom was a hepatitis breeding ground. Getting on the ice was even worse, staff stopped me every single time to make me to show my wristband when I had a child that was having difficulty getting his balance. I get it's policy but let us get our footing before crawling down our backs to show our bands. Also, if you need the child skate supports, you need to purchase them for $3 at the desk all the way in front. No one tells you that until you get to the ice and ask for one. And if you dare to put it to the side to tie a skate or attempt to huge your child skate on their own, people are savage and steal it. Really not the family fun I would have wanted, more like an episode of Survivor: Ice Time.

Came here during public skating hours and had fun! Decent size skating rink and it wasn't too…read morecrowded. Skates are provided if you do not have your own pair. There is a small room before entering the rink with a few tables to sit down at and put your skates on. It becomes very crowded at the end of public skating hours as everyone is in the same area and there aren't many seats so it may be easier to exit the rink a few minutes before the public skating hours end. There are also a few open cubbies to store your belongings in. You need to make an account online in order to use the rink which can be done beforehand or in person with the QR code at the front desk. The ice rink also offers classes for children and adults.

Upon visiting a friend, I was looking around for ice rinks as a place to hang out. And I found…read morethis one to have a more reasonable price point at $15 per skating session which includes skate rentals. The skating session is a bit tricky, it can range from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours but you would always know in advance upon online signup. The public skating session is available for registration online. As with any skating place, the skates that everyone uses are no good, always good to invest in a pair, more comfortable and won't ruin the experience. It's one hockey size rink with no lockers. They have cubbies to put your shoes and might fit a really small bag. They have vending machines at reasonable prices. Parking lot has a lot of spaces but apparently it does fill up quick. The place is very very very very old, but that didn't matter to me because the rink is good and the ice is not bad, works for the purpose.

Not very smooth per the skaters coming off that were more advanced. The beginner coaches here are very friendly, per some of the other parents, otherwise kids are coming for the freestyle practice sessions ($25) - you can pay online or in-person (though that's slower). The two sheets are the American and Canadian ice sheets. The main lobby has some wooden benches for skaters to put on gear, but if you want a table to work as an adult, go upstairs to the "cafe-ish" and viewing areas over the rinks (which is nice). Need a few more outlets, but you can find a few to charge up your phones/laptops.

The Westchester Skating Academy is the premier ice skating and hockey rink facility in the…read moreWestchester area. In addition to two full sized hockey rinks and skate rentals, it has a hockey and skate shop inside, and a lounge and snack bar upstairs known as Snackish. Snackish Cafe & Grill includes wholesome breakfast, lunch and snacking fare, and specialties like soups to warm you up when you're getting off the ice. I love the hot chocolate with marshmallows, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup with some brown sugar pop-tarts to warm me up and satisfy my sweet tooth. Staff is friendly and there are plenty of tvs upstairs to watch whatever hockey game is on or other sporting event.

I had such an amazing time with my daughter here. The open skate during weekdays is amazing because…read morethe rink isn't too full. You can practice those elaborate spins to mastery. Or someone like me that was a bit rusty can feel comfortable going around the rink at their own pace. I didn't go to snack bar- I was too focused on skating. I will tell you to size down one size if you rent skates as they do run big. My one complaint is they don't resurface the ice as frequently as the ice rink I've visited in NY. The staff was very kind and shared excitement with me that my daughter's birthday was approaching in a few weeks. This can definitely become a regular family adventure despite it being about 20 miles from home. And it's affordable!

I had a very unfortunate experience with Rink Manager Peter Montesano, during which he was rude and…read moreunhelpful in every way, and especially on the subject of a simple miscommunication which he helped escalate rather than resolve. The LearnToSkate program is from 9:15-11:15, which overlaps with Adult Skate from 10:00-11:15. Peter tried to make me to pay twice for the Adult Skate program even though I was already enrolled in a program that included that session. He loudly accused me in front of the entire rink multiple times for not registering, even though I had. Then, when I asked a clarification question about skating policy, he laughed at me and was extremely condescending. I felt like I was being targeted because I was a minority there. During my experience with him, instead of being patient and understanding, he was confrontational and extremely unprofessional, purposefully trying to publicly humiliate those unfamiliar with rink policies. I am very disappointed about my experience and hope I never have a run-in like that again. The rest of the staff is great, however, and helped resolve the issue right away.
