Skate Country — Local services in Buford

Went there expecting some friends to show up as well to have done fun and skate with them. They said our plans were 6-8. First problem. I'm set to go. Skates ready, cleaned, size checked. I message them before I go there as a double check, no response. I'm thinking "oh well, they might have already left since their probably further from there than me or something, or just haven't seen the messages yet. I go. Google maps is telling me it doesn't open until 6:30. First problem part 2. I think "maybe the times just listed wrong, or they misspoke" I get there, only some workers are there. I wait, assuming that they just were misspoken. I waited 35 minutes. Nothing. I'm already freaking out. Getting all anxious because of course there might have been other things in the way, the plans might have changed and I didn't know, they had some horrible accident, something, but I don't know that. I convince myself to just take me and my skates Inside to wait and make a few laps, they'll come eventually or they'll tell me what's up. I skate for thirty minutes, listening to what the place seems to think is music. No sign of them. I go back out there for a few more minutes, getting pretty bored because, as you may know, when you go to a skate place expecting friends, you are not mentally prepared to stay there and do it alone. Silently. Just the sound of skates hitting the floor and the god awful ear-torture filling the background. You expect to be chilling with your friends laughing at the children struggling to stand and actually dancing to the "Cha-Cha Slide". But without other people it is just really, really boring. At this point I've accepted that they probably aren't coming, it's around 7:10. I was tired. The music wasn't even good. They didn't even sensor it. (It needed to be sensored. Most of those children were very young.) In conclusion my feet hurt, life is miserable, and my...

Where should I even begin when it comes to explaining this place.When you first go in to pay for your ticket workers are rude they don’t smile or greet you in a friendly manner. Tickets for getting in is a reasonable price over all but when you first get in it’s very hot.When you give them your ticket for skates they had attitude or rude. Rental Skates are awful they left my with a bruise after skating and give your really bad blisters so I recommend that you bring your own skates.The rental skates make your feet ache and sometimes wheels are broken.The video games are over price.Just to play a round of crossy road is a dollar plus the games rio you off and is hard to win tickets.The food prices are awful a pickle is $1.25 and a slice of pizza is $2 and you can get a whole pizza for $16 which mean they ar ripping you off.Pizza is super greasy when you lift the pizza of the parchment paper it is soaked and the crust is burnt.There pizza is the worst pizza I have ever had in my life.When I went there for a party the owner yell at us and threatened to take away for our PAYED prizes.Saying she will take them away if we didn’t stop messaging around and it was my birthday party.When you request songs on the paper the don’t even look at it and denied your song request.Also a couple times I say little boys working for them I didn’t know a 10 year old can work at a job legally However every Friday when I was younger I would go to skate country paying $11 every night for months which mean we spent makes $500 there.Even though I complained a lot about everything I do really like the places I have been to worst places but I do have a fun time with my friend as long we don’t get in trouble with the staff with happens kinda often which makes sense why I give it 3 stars.If I knew how to post picture I would post a picture of my bruise ankle from the skates and the awful blister it...

You would be better off traveling the extra 30 mins - an hr to another rink. The food is nauseating, the majority of other skaters are in middle school and don’t know how to behave themselves (screaming, skating so fast that they knock other guests over, messing with the emergency exits, not listening to the employees, etc.), the music is catered to these disrespectful children (I don’t want to skate to Friday by Rebecca Black every Friday night), and the owner is discriminatory. During my first visit, I was skating with my black friends and we danced to the wobble when it came on. Not only have I never heard that song played again in the 30+ times that I’ve visited, but the owner didn’t waste any time to introduce herself and question us about our educational backgrounds. We were the only group that she spoke to for more than a moment that night, and we were one of the only black parties present. In addition, I’ve gotten sick and vomited from their water multiple times in the past, and before I could even take out the water bottle that I brought, they went through my things and confiscated it. Mind you, I have dietary needs and have to take medicine to even muster up an appetite in the first place, and I can’t afford to lose the little bit of nutrition that I can get. I have never felt more unwanted doing something that I love. Don’t get me wrong, Tuesday nights are great and so is most of the staff, but every single other day that they are open, I, a jam skater, feel like a black sheep in a sea of people who don’t want me there. And as someone graduating at the top 1% of her class who puts in extra effort to be kind and respectful to everyone she meets, I don’t appreciate being spoken to like I’m an imbecile. I should’ve stopped going a while ago. If it weren’t for the kids running amuck, I might’ve given them another shot, but the cons definitely outweigh the pros...
