We visited this skating rink hoping for a fun family experience, but unfortunately, it turned out…read moreto be disappointing for beginners. The rink is suitable only for experienced skaters as they do not provide skating aids of any kind. We brought our kids, who are still learning. It wasn't worth anything. Another issue was that the rink surface had about 2 inches of water(on Dec 29th 2024),this made skating even more challenging and unsafe for novices. On a positive note, their staff were very helpful and attentive.

This is really fun to do during the holiday season or just on a cold winter night. It's $12 per…read moreperson. The last time I went, they have skates up to a size 13, which I wear a 15 shoe, and the 13 fit me. You get to skate with a variety of levels from beginner to expert. I even saw some experts fall. They play fun holiday music and take in the holiday lights. Afterward, you can dine at any one of many downtown Dublin restaurants or grab some cocoa at a local cafe.

I used to play hockey here in high school, and I can tell you, going back to play hockey now, not a whole lot has changed. It's nice to get that old school hockey rink feel, but this isn't really much of a public rink, mainly used for high school hockey. They occasionally have open drop-ins and 'stick and puck's. It'd be great if the Chiller put some money into it with the rising popularity of hockey in Columbus. The city needs another good ice rink.

The locker room board is now easily read and the lockers rooms are nicely setup. The staff here is also super friendly and they can handle large crowds nicely. I would definitely recommend this chiller for some open skate or booking a birthday party.

As a non-pro skater, I always love coming to the Chiller with a few friends and taking advantage of…read morethe open skate time. The Chiller is split into two sets of "ice"? (excuse my evident lack of hockey knowledge). One set, when in session, is used for open skate. The other side, or both sides at times, are used for hockey teams, ice skaters, professional use, etc. As far as the prices go, not too bad. I enjoy the Friday Night Meltdown offered here, it's two and a half hours of open skate time for $10 which includes skate rental. The facility is decent, a little outdated which isn't a problem. The concession stand is pretty outrageous, the prices are a little jacked but then again, it's not the food you're there for so the complaints can't be too massive. Beware though, it can get VERY busy with this being in Easton. Not only the traffic outside, but the traffic on the ice! Sometimes the place is crawling with middle school boys and girls hugging all over one another on "dates", fun sight, they don't bother much. It's a good area, just high amounts of traffic.

The location on Refugee Road consistently does not enforce any of the rules it states the beginning…read moreof the session. Today, during the 12-3 session, immediately after the announcement of rules, the announcer had to specifically reprimand 3 teenage boys who were playing tag, reminding them that they were not allowed to play tag. They continued to play tag cutting off other people, including young children who were there from a daycare center. They skated the wrong direction causing others to have to swerve to miss them and making several people to fall. After the rules announced that no one was aloud to stand and lean over the way or stop for any reason while on the skating floor, there were about seven teenagers standing inside of the rink near the half wall just talking, causing several little kids to fall. We left after less than an hour when one of the teenagers ran into my 11 year old son shoving him to the ground because he was oblivious to others. There was a referee on the floor, but he was not enforcing any of the rules. He just helped people up if he saw that they had fallen. If the rules are made to keep everyone safe, they need to be enforced, so people don't get hurt due to negligence. Not enforcing the rules is negligence on behalf of the skating center.

Doc mentioned drinking on this medicine could make things dire. This is a super long time for him to not drink as his attention demanding shitzu takes up most of his responsibility. After we entered the doors of this place, an immediate weight got lifted off Craig's shoulders. He felt a thing he hasn't felt since an early 2000's Applebee's... and that thing is called ambiance. We did a few laps around this rink and for a moment we felt what it was like to be alive. My buddy couldn't stop telling me how much this reminded him of the good old days. The ice is perfect as it makes you feel like you're in one of those "Disney on Ice" shows, and honey it's like you're the main character. The only reason this didn't get five stars was because my buddy Eric had a close call with a rabid frog when he was a kid here in the parking lot.

Alright, stick with me regarding why I'm giving five stars…read more Our daughter has been taking ice skating lessons at the Ohio State rink for nearly a year. The classes are some of the most affordable in the area and come with rental skates and a pass for open skate. The first class, toddler course, has five teachers and they are all really great with the little ones (which I admire as I could not be with that many little kids learning to skate all at once). As you continue to take classes here and attend the open skate you can tell that there is a community here and a sense of pride over this being "their rink" for the families that come here and the kiddos. This is also the rink where the D1 Women's team currently plays and while I agree with the other reviewer they should get an upgrade it is fun to see the kids at the games and knowing that they too skate there. On particular nights, especially Friday if there is open skate be prepared for lines as the college students do come out of the woodwork and skate. The staff is all friendly, often into skating or club hockey if you go for a few weeks or take a class they will start being familiar with your face. So, while yes, this rink is a bit dated and could be upgraded it still receives a five star from us due to the community feel, friendliness and accessibility.

This is a fun, old school skating rink. There is plenty of room to skate around, despite the other…read morereviews, we found the floor in great shape. The skates are old school,leather quads. But, they were in good shape, and fit us well. Is this place new and flashy? No. Is it overpriced for the cost? No. We've skated at other places in the area that do charge less for skating, but skate rental is extra. The $8.00 admission included skate rental. The pool was open, but we didn't go out to see it. It looks clean and well maintained from the parking lot.

Visiting from New Hampshire Will recommend…read more Would return I actually wasn't quite sure how I was going to feel about this park after reading all of the reviews I kind of felt like I didn't wanna go, but let me just reassure you please make that decision based upon your own experience because mine was very different than what the reviews I was reading about There is plenty of parking you do not have to print your tickets The big issue they're making about coolers is really not that big of an issue. You just have to leave your cooler outside of where the water area is. There's a big covered area where the coolers go, and there was more than a dozen to two dozen coolers left in there and people would just come out of the water area and get their coolers, which was no more than a five minute walk less than Also, there was some complaints about not being able to bring food in there with you again the food you cannot bring into the water area, but you can bring anything you want in the cooler area and honestly, can you only imagine what the water would look like if you allowed all of these people bringing in all this food I was able to rent a locker to fit a beach bag with two towels, two pairs of shoes and a water bottle for $12 all day There was plenty of open chairs to sit on even if you wanted to leave your towels on the chairs nobody was going to be taking your towels I even seen wallets and phones As for the food, sure if you wanna eat before then that would be a great idea. My husband and I each had a chicken finger sandwich that had three large pieces of chicken tender on it and they were hand battered chicken tenders and they were $16 apiece with a bag of chips whatever we were hungry we ate it. It wasn't totally disgusting. We had no lines no waiting for the slides. There are large amount of stairs to the slides, which is why we ended up needing some food during our time here. I also want to point out that all of these waterslides are for multiple riders meaning 2 to 4 there is two slides in the whole park that are single rider slides The park was clean. I went to water parks before it just looks like a waterpark. There wasn't an overabundance of trash, floating in the water like it says there wasn't piles of shit like it says. As for the lifeguards, I also read that they are not very friendly. I find that to be faults. They are all doing their job there so they're not going to go out of their way to interact with you. If you speak to them, you will get spoken back to you, but as you will watch and see them, they are very aggressively doing their jobs So please again make your own review. Don't just not go because of what you're reading and I hope that my review will help you to get there to decide.
