| - I have been to LV Ice Center twice since moving to the area. Both experiences were stressful, crowded, and loud. I base my negative experience on the layout of the establishment.. From the minute you arrive, you are squeezed by, pushed, or shoved by almost every other person. Whether its waiting in line to get tickets, getting your skates, putting your skates on, walking to and from the rink, and while you are on the rink. I think having the skate shop, birthday party area, lockers, skate rental, and concession stand all in the same small area is was a bad idea. The price is right for a cheap way to escape the heat but constant flow of people young and old wobbling around on skates is not my most favorite idea of fun.
Plus, the "rink guards" the employees who are supposed to keep the patrons safe and make sure they are following the rules... were too busy talking to each other to notice people speed skating, digging into the ice intentionally, the poor kids who were stranded in the middle of the rink, the skaters going in the opposite direction, the maniacs with the walkers bumping into the innocent skaters- makes for a very unsafe time. I liked the music and the strobe lights. The two hour limit makes it a rushed experience, but I do enjoy going to the rink about once or twice a year. If a peaceful and relaxing day out is what you are wanting- this is not the place to go.
