From Google reviews

Good rink and this review is primarily for the open skate. Prices on the skates are high considering they didn't have hockey skates in all sizes for my girlfriend. I thought a size 6 was pretty common. I didn't rent skates and enjoyed the experience. Possibly better speakers would be nice upgrade or theme nights.

★★★★☆ J, Apr 2018

Our son is taking skating lessons here for hockey and he loves it. The people are so nice and the arena is nice. Definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to learn to skate!

★★★★★ Jessica, Nov 2022

Very clean, great staff, they've definitely put a lot of attention on this rink in the past year!
