This is a nice place to skate. The staff is professional, friendly and provide a safe atmosphere to skate in. The skate guards did a good job protecting those that fall and the staff was very nice and made sure to greet everyone as they left. The place is packed and very busy with lots of very young kids learning to skate on the floor (this was Sunday 2-4pm). There are 4 entry/exits in the rink. This does cause a little bit of congestion when skating around as you have skaters darting in front of you to 4 different exits. Some re-designing or assignment on the entry/exits could alleviate some of these occurrences. I really liked the idea of bleachers when looking at the virtual tour on the website, but families there were using mainly the front row of bleachers and it made the pathway difficult to pass through. I would maybe entertain moving the bleachers back or replacing with a few benches or move the DJ booth which would make room in your walkway near the skate rentals. I'm 41 now and I can remember learning how to skate at the age of 8, I used the carpeting to practice and learn balance on the skates before getting in the rink. Here there isn't much space for that. A thought for all skating rinks in St. Louis, have a separate rink for beginners. I really wanted my wife to get out and skate more but she was worried she might accidently run over one of the many children falling down all over the rink. Also when children are on the rink, fluids seem to follow and that made this really nicely kept wood floor very slick. I had to catch myself a few times from sliding on wet spots. I hope these suggestions are useful to the owners and this review gives some insight to those looking to skate in a decent rink. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend going here to skate. I'm looking forward to an adult night here...
   Read moreAWFUL! I have taken my children here and had birthday parties in the past here,but after the way we were treated last weekend, NEVER again will i go here. You would think a small business owner would try to be a little more accommodating to someone who spends money there. I scheduled a birthday party and i know i explained on the phone we were one family celebrating my daughter and 2 nieces (ages 5-7), so we needed 2 tables and had 15-16 kids coming plus adults, i was ordering food through them also. When i arrived I was rudely told that we could only consider the party for 1 child, so the other 2 girls could not have birthday cakes and only one child would be allowed to have happy birthday sang on the roller cart???? I was going to try and work it out and make one cake work, but when my aunt (Un-knowingly) walked inside with a 2nd cake, they rushed her like bouncers at a bar and made her leave with it immediately. I was disgusted! We were paying customers, not to mention all the adults coming who would have rented skates, ordered food etc.... and they treated us like we were scum. I dont know what they got out of ruining 3 little girls birthdays but thats exactly what they did!!! My daughter was so upset, we all were. We left right away!!! We took the entire party to Du Bowl lanes off Lemay Ferry and had a great time! Thank goodness. What a joke...
   Read moreThe staff is very rude especially the older woman who works there. She had told me to shut up when I was explaining that the bathroom stalls in the women’s restroom do not lock and had ended up kicking me and my friend out because one of the staff had said my friend looked like she was going into the same stall as me when she had accidentally bumped my stall door open as I was getting ready to get out of the stall( the stalls do not lock you can literally lean against any of the stalls and it’ll open ) the place is very dirty and they do not regulate anything about safety or privacy ESPECIALLY in the bathrooms. They charge over price for food that should cost $5. This place is going down hill and all of the staff is just horrible I will never being coming back here and this is not a safe place to bring your kids. Multiple creepy old men have came in for example one time my friend was sitting at a table eating and a older man (40’s) had sat next to her and started hitting on her and the staff didn’t anything to protect her and didn’t even throw the guy out, they genuinely do not care about their customers. If I could this place zero stars I 100...
