It's OK.

by mc424

We arrived at 6:45 but were told we could not enter until 7:00, so we had to wait in a packed entry area, which was extremely HOT due to the fact that there was no air conditioning. Not the best environment with three kids in tow. Several people got fed up with it and left. Finally about 7:10 they opened the window and started selling tickets. The interior was extremely dingy and old looking but, on the positive side, the skating surface was in pretty good shape. The pizza, which was included in the price of skating, was actually very good. The beverages were overpriced, though. All in all, it was an OK experience, but not sure that we will return.

• Pros: Reasonable entry price, good pizza, dirty/dated interior
• Cons: Entry area very hot, inside also a bit warm, overpriced drinks

Thumbs up for Fun!

by chippiechipperson

Thumbs up for fun. Our youth group always chooses Skate Central for their Christmas Party. The kids say that they have good music, the pizza is the best (I agree, much better than the chain pizza franchises) and the owner and staff are helpful and friendly. It is a good value.

The kids have fun and the parents enjoy themselves too.

Updated review on one of few family rinks

by wowwander

The carpet and wall designs have been totally updated. Maintains large catalogue of music, and a safe environment for pre-teens, and teens. It is a wonderful place for childrens partys, with a reserved area for such events. Boasts a toddler area to assist the smaller skaters to learn. A hard wood skating floor (not linoleum or particle board) maintained to competition skating guidelines. Continuously updated arcade, with air hockey and crane machine. Personal skates permitted though rental of house skates is free. Closed skate classes for all levels of skates are available. In a day where family recreation business close down, this family owned and operated rink is a stead fast and reliable location. Closed parties for schools/church groups are available. The adjacent church and business permit patrons parking. If you are looking for recreation, a party with pizza and cake, or exercise this is a great value.

• Pros: Pizza buffet, Fun for the family, Great snack bar
• Cons: Party slots may fill
