"2013-01-08T00:00:00"^^ . "This review is specifically for the Harbourfront DJ Skate Nights that runs every Saturday from 8-11 pm usually from mid December to late February.\n\nPositives:\n\n1. The event is free and the music is pretty good, it's equivalent to Top 40 music you \n would hear at a nightclub. Sometimes the music can vary depending on the DJ for \n that particular night. \n2. A Zamboni cleans the ice from 9-9:30 pm. \n3. There is an indoor change room with lockers and washrooms. \n4. There is also a rinkside restaurant where you can purchase fast food, warm \n beverages and also alcohol.\n5. Decent sized ice rink.\n6. Great event for first dates, hanging out with friends or an affordable date night with \n a significant other.\n\nNegatives:\n\n1. DJ Skate nights are becoming very popular, so it's very very crowded.\n2. The ice surface is average at best because of the number of people skating on the \n rink.\n3. Forget trying to rent skates during DJ Skate Nights unless you plan on coming at \n 8pm or before, I got there at around 9 pm and there was a lineup out the door for \n skate rentals ($8), it looked like a minimum 30 minute wait and there is no \n guarantee that you will find your size since it's a first come first serve basis and \n their is a limited amount of skates available for rental. It's advisable to bring your \n own skates if you own a pair."^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . . "6"^^ . .
