I had been wanting to take the kids ice-skating for some time and put them in lessons. But they always recommend you take them out for "open" skate time first (I guess to see if they like it?) So imagine me by myself with two little kids? Finally got the hubby to go with me (since his schedule had been a little hectic)
I had not been skating in like ten years, so I was NOT about to put some ice skates on. So, I was there for moral support:)
I don't think I added much support since I was complaining the whole time.
I think what really turned me off was a couple of things: The super loud music. You could hardly hear each other talk.
On this particular Sunday it was crowded! It was a tight small area to walk thru while u change skates. And honestly I'm just about up to my nose with family entertainment that makes you walk thru a casino! Smelly smoky old school Fiesta casino to walk thru to get there (I think there was a backdoor but parking signage was not clear so I parked in covered parking.
Oh, and not enough red skate bars for kids to use who are just learning to skate. So initially my kids were impatient having to take turns.
The only good thing (or bad depending on how you look at it) the kids want lessons now, they enjoyed it except for the loud music-they were annoyed too. I think I'll have to go another skate rink for lessons since this location is not convenient to me either. At least it was only r$6.50 pp which included the skate rental..
I believe there was a snack bar I could smell pizza or popcorn but I stayed on the bench to watch our stuff. I saw some lockers down the hall, but honestly the music made me feel like I was being tortured so it literally paralyzed me. Couldn't wait to leave!
Skip it.
