Hollywood Curling

Had a lot of fun, and for $ 25 it’s a great activity to do with friends whether you’re into curling or not. Next time I will definitely dress much more comfortably (most people were in PJ’s) and more layers, and bring beer because everyone had beer except us. We loved our instructor Mark, but the other half of the newbies got stuck with another instructor who kept snapping at all of us? Please don’t be a teacher if you get frustrated with people who have NEVER WALKED ON A ICE WITH OUT SKATES. It’s a new sensation, it’s hard, and also we don’t know anything about curling which is why we are taking a class. Geez, can’t stand impatient teachers, makes no sense. I mean, I’d be exactly the same way but that’s why I would never teach anyone anything!

Hollywood Curling is a total blast!!! Chris and Hershel were great teachers! They teach you everything there is to know about curling. If you get a chance to attend one of the «Learn to curl» classes, Do it!!!

As a transplanted Midwesterner, I was so happy to learn that there’s a place to curl in LA, and these folks provided a great experience. Their Learn to Curl workshop was not only laid-​back and fun, but a great lerarning experience. The staff made sure everyone got throws in, and gave a lot of one-​on-​one coaching on people’s technique. there were about 36 first-​timers there that were really getting the hang of it in just a few hours.
It looks like they’re expanding into beginner leagues and more classes, so I hope I can come by more often. Don’t knock it till you try it!

I attended one of the «Learn to Curl» events, and it was stupendously fun! Who knew? Everyone there was incredibly friendly, and the group I was in had a great time laughing and cheering each other on. Super supportive environment. I’m only sad I don’t live closer because I think I’d be inclined to go more often if I did.
I know, it looks ridiculous. The calls are hilarious. It’s actually harder than it looks. But honestly, I have no idea how someone wouldn’t have fun. Maybe if they hit their head on the ice? That’s the only scenario I can think of.

Went with a bunch of friends; we all believed it would be lame but amusing.
We were so wrong.
First the Hollywood Curling folks couldn’t have been more welcoming or better teachers. I’ve done a fair amount of teaching of physical activities and the way they structured their session could only have been better if it’d have been a private lesson and we’d each had an hour of ice to ourselves.
And curling — wow, all I can say is that we all left with huge grins on our faces, some bumps and bruises, and it looks like we’ll all be going back. It’s massive fun, and we can’t recommend it enough.

This might have been the most fun thing ive done in the last 5 years.
Teachers were great. Very patient and informative. The place was PACKED and i think i may have joined an actual curling tram at the end of this all.
I cant wait to get back out there and do this again.

Look past all those funny uniforms and calls (HARRRD HARRRD!), and you’ll realize curling is outrageously fun! You’ll spend half the time laughing and the other half cheering on your teammates. Great for fans of chess, shuffleboard, bowling or any competitive team game.
Inspired by the Winter Olympics, we arranged for our adventure meet up group (
) to join in on a Learn to Curl event. Hollywood Curling is one of two places in the Greater LA area that host curling events (OC Curling based out of Westminster is the other). After checking in, you’re broken up into groups of 8 for a lesson, which was very well organized. Each specific task is aimed to slowly improve on our skills of gliding across the ice.
Hollywood Curling has Learn to Curl events at both Panorama City and Valencia. Aside from Learn to Curl, they also host leagues. My only criticism is that they don’t host more pick up games for those of us who have learned to curl, but don’t want to commit to 4 – 10 weeks of league play.
So instead of watching the Winter Olympics on TV, get off your couch and sign up for a curling lesson!

Went with a Goldstar deal and a small group of friends. It was really fun! I would definitely recommend trying it as a fun random outing, just dress warmly and beware banging your knees on the ice! Mild pain but worth it :)
Even more fun if you have a fun teacher. I even considered joining but it’s just not a convenient location for me.

Had a B dy party last night there and everyone had a blast. About 16 of us and no one person was bored. The teachers were great and put up with us and I recommend everyone go at least once!!!

Everyone was really welcoming and made learning the sport fun.
And what’s great is that it can be for anyone (young, old, short, tall). The ice rink is a bit chilly so better layer up.

yep… yep yep yep… HARD! HARD!
What a great night! I just had my first taste of curling and I’m HOOKED!
They start you out from a very basic level and before you know it, you’re curling! The instructors are very outgoing and encouraging. It will provide for a super fun night, like bowling… but better!
I hope my praises don’t contribute to the hype toooo much, though. It is super crowded as it is! Don’t go! :)

The people here are great. They’re super patient teachers and fun people to play with. It ranges from folks who are very casual curlers to people who really want to compete, so there is something for everyone.
