Abe Stark Sports Center — Local services in New York

I never give reviews but this time I have to. If you are beginner ice skater like me, don’t waist your time going there. First of all everyone has to pay to get in even if you are not skating. We came in, paid for all, asked for the skaters aid, because for 2 of my family members it was the first time. They didn’t have any skaters aid so within 5 min, without stepping on ice we left.

Old, outdated facility. Blonde lady manager standing at entrance is rude and obnoxious, doesn't care about customer experience or about customer altogether. Rink gets overcrowded and they still allow more and more people to enter. Understand this is a business but someone needs to pay attention about safety of customers.
