Soooo my son got my to buy a Groupon, and today was the expiry date so we went!
The teenage worker dudes are sooo sweet and helpful! Plus they were cute! Bhaha! Soooo we walk in like 1 minute after public skate started and it was already hella busy! I showed the dudebro my groupon and he still charged 2$... idk why though. We proceeded to get our skates and sit down to put them on, it was really crowded so we found 2 empty seat NEAR a bday party set up, but not ON it. This bromosexual dude comes out with his waxed brows and feminine voice and tells us we need to move since its a bday party seat.... all 10 of us look dumbfounded and move. The seating area inside is small and crowded, but you can actually go out near the south rink and put your skates on. If you want to rent a locker you can at .75 cents.
They have little rink helper things for the little kids, but you MUST get there right away and get one otherwise youll get a janky metal one. The thing that sucks is that youll see grown teens using the good plastic ones.... when theyre obviously made for small children. SO GET THERE EARLY.
The ice isnt even at all so youll skate over lumps and closer to the wall, where everyone who is afraid of falling on their ass (ME) skates the ice isnt full spread out. Another crummy thing is you have the young skanks aka Kristi Yamaguchi wanna-bes skate around and dont watch where they go... BOOOO.
For 10$ per person its not really a good deal, its only 2 hours long and you def have to check the schedule to make sure you go at the appropriate times.
They also have a large snack bar and make an amazing chai tea latte!
