I've been skating here for 45 years. Skate Country. Skate north. Incrediroll. Skate land. And still today. Taught my kids here and now have 12 grandkids who I will be bringing very soon. Not all but 1 at least. At a time. We all know you can't please everyone these days. So there's always someone who will bash and write a bad review. I tell you Dante and Romina are very good people. I've ran into her at church several times and Dante has allowed me to cut some carpet rolls up in the parking lot even on some occasions. Both are Good Hearted, hard working, and knowledgeable for any questions you have on skates. I run into Dante at the skate park downtown now and then. He always says Hi and I'm always thinking this old man is gonna hurt himself out here. Lol. People say prices are high but in reality and all they put Into this I see them as fair. They are fair on so many different levels. So much so that maybe, Just maybe Dante will give me a free pass for my time in writing this for you all. But if he doesn't then he doesn't. And ill have to let him know when I catch him at the rink. Anyways im 52yrs old now and still love skating. Fast Skating too. My point of this is don't let any bad review steer you away. This is Good All Ameri an Skating with Good down to Earth Owners! Keep up the Good Work you both are doing. I Support you 100% with your bussiness! I think your doing fabulous. Tending to a hundred kids at a time is so not an easy task. So before you start bashing. Ask yourself how much better u think you could do it. Thanks for taking time to read this review.

Considering there are only 2 options to skate in the area this place is pretty nice. Prices are a little steep (~20$ for adults w/ rental on most days) but they do offer 1/6 month month membership options with the latter being by far the best option if you plan to visit at least 3 times a month. Both skates and blades are alright but not the best quality (they usually skate fine just mostly bad comfort) so I would suggest investing in your own skates/blades if you decide to come often.

Facilities overall are clean besides bathrooms could be a little cleaner but this is pretty common for many business like this. Floor is hard plastic tiles so it's not the best but not bad, a little slick. Wish they did more with the lights and fog machine, been there enough to see them do cool effects with them but they usually keep them toned down for the most part.

The staff do a good job of running games and keeping people in check. You will always have some kids not following rules or other things but considering how many children are usually here, most are behaved well. Which is nice as the rules seem pretty relaxed here, can enter for free if you just want to watch, I can leave my stuff at a table and don't need to pay for a locker.

Also glad they brought back adult skate night (idk if its a seasonal thing), super chill and not too busy. Most people use these couple hours to practice existing/new skills and relax without having to worry about kids...

Have been coming here for years. Made the mistake of relying on Google's posted open skate hours, (11:30-4:30). Arrived at 12:30, only to be asked to leave the floor at 2:00.

I was with a friend and her daughter, for the child's birthday. Incredibly frustrated and disappointed in management who did not resolve the problem adequately when asked, only offering a weak excuse of "Oh, those hours are wrong, we can't get Google to change them."

We were NOT INFORMED of the session hours being different. The hours were NOT posted at the window, on the door, at the skate rental counter, or any other location in the building that was visible to customers.

The manager himself was the cashier who helped us, and did not tell us that open skating was separated into two sessions.

This resulted in a sad little girl and an angry mother. Extremely disappointed in the way the situation was handled (he wouldn't even give us a 50% discount to stay and skate in the next session) and will not be recommending this location to friends or family.

Skate North Incrediroll needs to train their management and employees to be accommodating and post business hours where they...

Very nice place to skate with the family! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about skates and sizing. They have roller skates and roller blades to rent, or you can bring your own. It's pretty reasonably priced. They have skate mates for little ones to push around and keep their balance ( they cost an extra $5 to rent). Very family friendly place. We went on a Wednesday night, and it wasn't very busy. They have a snack bar and serve large pizzas, soft pretzels, and non alcoholic beverages. The food and drinks are also reasonably priced. They also have arcade games! Great place for a family fun night. Handicap accessible.

Ordered 4 pizzas for my kids' friends to eat, apparently for $15 at this place you can get burnt pizza and a manager who says they "look fine to him". I used to work for Happy Joe's and I know good and well THIS IS NOT FINE and reaks like burnt food. So if you do go for some overpriced skating I wouldn't recommend their pizza. I was absolutely ashamed to have to feed this to my kids SINCE THE MANAGER TODAY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
