Good bar

It's a good bar with great bears and a great time. We went for roller skating and will be back.

It's been 20 years since I've last skated. My boyfriend's Birthday was coming up and he decided this is what he wanted to do for the weekend. We looked around the area and this was the only place that had good reviews. All had either 1 or 2 stars. When we walked in, I was amazed of how much stuff they have here besides skating. They also have games you can win tickets, picture booth, roller skate store, food, and more. I was excited that they had air hockey (which we played)!!! For $20.00 (adults) gets us roller skates (rental) and the rink for 8 hours. That is cheap! You can rent lockers for a quarter (Nice size and can fit for two people- shoes and other items) The rink was pretty big and floors was well kept (no trash). I also loved the neon lighting. The selection of music was okay, but the kids seem to like it. Bathrooms are clean (sinks are in the front of the bathroom entrance). They also do special events (Birthdays). We had a really good time and would definitely return!

The Place is the place for fun. There is so much to do. There is rollerskating, laser tag, rock climbing, a ropes course, bumper cars, arcade and ticket games, and a snack bar. Rollerskates are available for rent or purchase. If purchasing skates, there are all kinds of aftermarket items to trick out your ride. Walkers are available to help new younger skaters. The Place is on the expensive side. The rollerskating is the best deal. There are packaged deals that make the fun a little more affordable. Special deals pop-up from time to time for school holidays. Unfortunately for my wallet none of us were interested in skating. The ropes course and the bumper cars were what my child chose. These are not your grandfather's bumper cars. They bump, they spin, and if you bump into someone else's target, (or they bump into yours,) it will set the car spinning. The climbing area is more than just rock climbing walls. There is a spiral of green pipes that look straight out of Super Mario Bros. Well, minus the warp tunnels and fire flowers. If my climbing kid had been with us she would have loved it. At the time of our visit, a coupon for a free small drink with the purchase of a pretzel prints when you take a picture in the photo booth. We met a group of people here. All the kids seem to be having a good time. This is the kind of place where a few kids may stay together, but for the most part they go their own way. The Place is clean and well lit. (Except were it is intentionally darkened.) Everything looks new. Games are in good working order. The ropes course and climbing equipment are well kept. The line to pay was long, but moved quickly.

See all

Rude management should learn to appreciate large groups. Upgraded facility but staff attitudes could use an upgrade as well.

First, the bad: As a recreation center for adults, it's not…read moregreat. The fitness room is small and contains a handful of weights, ellipticals, treadmills and bikes that have seen better days. If you're looking for a replacement for your Urban Fitness membership, look elsewhere. But... The good: First, THEY HAVE AN AMAZING ROLLERSKATING RINK. Seriously, this thing is so 70s, but in a cool retro way (not in an outdated way) - I'm talking a disco ball, primary colors and everything. It's totally underutilized - they have tons of adult skates and a projector to throw videos on the blank wall in the rink...you could really pull together an awesome event in the space. Secondly, adult memberships are crazy cheap. Adult memberships are only $25 for a whole year and apply to all 26 Cincinnati Rec Centers and most city pools. Plus, all the money directly benefits the greater OTR community. I mean, as a community resource, it's invaluable. They provide a safe environment for kids in the neighborhood - they offer a drop-in after school program, field trips, a game room and extracurricular classes for kids ages 5-18. The thing is, even if you don't have a particular interest in using the resources, buying a membership sends a clear message that you support that these recreation opportunities remain strong and viable in as many places as possible. On the other hand, if memberships go down, it sends a message to the city and the City Council that their services are not valued and therefore puts the center's budget higher up on the chopping block.

Who knew there was a rollerskating rink in the middle of OTR? Here I thought those only existed in…read morethe 'burbs! Even more impressive, the skating rink here is in much better condition than the more notable places in the area. The skates are made from plastic and come in bright neon colors. Elsewhere you're stuck with dingy suede skates. During Final Fridays, the rec center opens its doors to all adults for three hours of roller skating for only $2.00, which includes skate rental. http://www.yelp.com/biz/otr-skate-cincinnati Tired of skating? Just head out to the lounge for some pool or ping pong. There are rooms with couches and televisions, as well as your traditional gym equipment. Membership to the OTR Rec Center is $25.00 a year, and applies to all 26 Rec Centers in Cincinnati, as well as the city pools. The money goes right back into the OTR community, which keeps the rec center open to provide after-school opportunities to youth. The OTR Rec Center is tucked away on Republic Street, which is near Findlay Market's Race Street entrance. If you're looking for a great place to stay active, or more so, to rollerskate, OTR Rec Center has you covered!

I took my kids here for their first skating experience and they had a blast. We went on Christian…read moreskate night, which is the first Monday of every month. They play Christian music, the admission is only $4 a person, and the skate rental is free. Wednesday nights admission is $3 and skate rental is only $2. The place is super affordable! Weekends are more expensive, like $10 total per person, however they do have a family deal where if you have 4 or more people, each skater gets a free popcorn and drink. Other than skating, they have a concession stand, and they even sold slices of pizza from a restaurant, I forget which. They have tons of tables, which is really nice. They also have some arcade games, 2 of which are claw machines where you are guaranteed to be a winner of either candy, or rubber ducks/animals. My kids loved that. Where you rent skates they also rent out skate walkers for beginner kids, and they sell glow necklaces which my kids just had to have. They played a couple of skating games as well. My kids were begging to return the very next day, even though their legs hurt, which is a sign of good exercise. They also slept great that night. Win! I will for sure start going once or twice a month with the kiddos. I'm happy to have something new and fun to do with them.

Took my grandkids for something different to do. Prices were reasonable. Side note - cash only…read more Floor was smooth. Would definitely recommend and plan to go again. Great for birthday parties are just skating
