Roller Kingdom

We used 2 Groupons for 8 people. we got a whole pizza @ 8sodas .and skates as well. Great fun, great deal…

My daughter was taking my grandson to the Roller Kingdom and asked me to bring her younger brother. My son has Down syndrome and generally has a hard time Skating. I noticed that someone had some contraption that looked almost like a walker with Wheels. I was able to rent one for $ 5 and it was a godsend. This allowed my son to be able to skate safely. The only issue with this I had was that they only had a handful to rent out. They should have more available with the number of people that show up. My grandson and my daughters step daughters could have used one but there were no more available. So they all shared.
A few issues I had with the roller rink itself was the flooring had some serious dips in it. A couple of times my son would get stuck in these dips and would be unable to get out. Someone would have to rescue him and pushed him out of the hole. I think it may be time to fix this problem. Another problem was the snack bar. It seemed that every time someone would request something they were out of it. A lot of people were asking for sprite or 7Up and they had neither. They didn’t even have Diet Coke or Pepsi seems like all they had was dr. Pepper or Diet dr. Pepper. A person behind me requested nachos and they had run out. The family time skate was open from 1 to 5 and it was only about 2:30. This appears to be either a ordering issue or an i don’t care attitude. They didn’t have much to offer anyway.
My suggestion would be to make some adjustments to the rink as well as the snack bar. Other than that the kids had a good time. We will come back in the future.

We went here while on vacation in Reno. Let me start by saying when they say no outside food or drinks allowed they are not kidding. My wife and I stopped at Starbucks on our way here and what do you know a security checkpoint at the door with a trash can. «So we can’t bring in coffee to drink while we watch our kids skate?, Nope» I can understand wanting to get people to by stuff from the snack bar but this is a little over kill. Funny thing is they don’t even serve coffee.
Now let’s move on to overall facility and equipment (rental skates) condition. HORRIBLE. The rental skates are so bad that one person in our group ended up with skates that were literally falling apart at the seams and that was the better pair they gave her to choose from. As far as skating rink condition, border line dangerous. One part of the rink had boards coming up with two cones covering the worst of it. I can’t tell you how many people I witnessed falling down when they went passed that section. I realize this place is old but to not keep up on basic maintenance and replace worn out rental skates is ridiculous. If their was another roller skating rink in Reno I would recommend you go there instead but unfortunately this is the only place in town. So my recommendation would be that you go bowling instead. At least until they get their act together and make some improvements.

Wow this place is quite amazing, strollers on the skating surface. Poor customer service, they charge five dollars for safety for kids who are learning to use trainers. Guess they would prefer broken bones. Definitely will not be coming back.

I’m so glad Reno has a skate rink. When its freezing outside there are not that many choices to go. Skating is fantastic exercise. My Son and husband have both lost weight skating and its so much fun! The music is awesome. For a reasonable price you get to exercise for a few hours! Compared to 1 hr bouncing somewhere else. Also great place to have parties. My son luved having his party here. Staff are also more positive, helpful and professional than other indoor places. Its worth the drive for us to go there. I luv seeing the big smiles on my kids faces as they zoom around the rink. The staff that work there seem to like working there and enjoy skating!

Here for a birthday party and amazed at how filthy everything is. The bathroom should be declared a hazmat site. Not suprisingly, children don’t notice and have a wonderful time. I would say the seventies throwback décor is awesome, but it’s original seventies and not well kept. Again, my child is having a great time! Lights, music, games and lots of fun. Lots of hand sanitizer needed.

I came here for one of my good friend’s daughter birthday. She turned 2, she had gotten the birthday package for the kids. The day we went, there was 5 other parties. It started out good. Having a place to sit for the birthday party was better than I had hoped. Then it went downhill from there. Roller kingdom is the only place in Reno for indoor skating so I’m not sure if they reinvest into their business but I think that the carpets and the facility itself has not changed since they opened. It’s dark and smells like feet. Roller kingdom rents out pvc pipes on roller wheels for the kids that can’t skate on their own yet for 5 dollars. They rented us one for one of our kids and we went to go grab one they didn’t have one available. We were told to come back and check to see if one was given back so we can have one, and if it wasn’t they would refund us the money. Well we check several times during our skating time but they didn’t have any available. I went back to the front to get a refund of the 5 dollars. They hassled me and told me that I should have came up after there wasn’t any available to get the refund. Then they told me that they wouldn’t have sold us the wristband to get the skate helper if they didn’t have it. I calmly explained to them what had happened and that I’m here to get a refund. The disgruntled employee finally gave me the cash. They also ran out of kids skates. So half of our party didn’t have skates. They had a pile of skates in the back that are just piling up because the skate repair guy hasn’t been there for a month. Finally during the party the kids failed to get their ice cream that is part of the party package. All said and done, this place is always busy because the kids love coming here. They really need to reinvest in the future of the place.

I take my daughters here at least once a week, sometimes twice. It’s an old rink and could use some updating but honestly then it would have to close and the kids would have no where to skate.
My biggest issue is that they have no one to help with roller skate sales outside a skate session. Sometimes they are so busy they don’t have enough employees to help you when trying to buy skates or wheels, toe stops etc. I mean RK is packed everytime I go in there.
My other issue, the 12 year old working behind the concession stand. They either need more kids or more experience bc the wait sometimes is crazy. But they do have clean bathrooms, which I know is hard for as many people that travel in there. Overall it’s pretty good for what it is.

My twin daughters picked Roller Kingdom this year for their 9^th birthday, we picked the Wizard Package. We had the Best time ever.

First — let me say that Roller Kingdom is the only indoor public skating rink around. So there are not any alternatives to provide competition to this rink as incentive to keep things on good side.
I have been coming to Roller Kingdom for at least the past 4 years now. It has not changed one bit since day one. It is okay. Simply that. I have seen slightly better skating rinks in my day, but this one is just below average.
The rink itself needs to be redone. There are several spots on the rink that are bumpy and have some sort of candy/​gum residue. The carpet is very old and as well has lots of candy/​gum residue, but I suppose this cannot be helped considering this venue draws lots of kids/​families that are not as careful as they should be. There are lockers available for use (coin operated), but most people just use the lockers and do no pay, instead they just take the risk of no one getting into their stuff.
There is a small seating area to be able to consume the concessions. Standard concessions are available at a reasonable price (pizza, cotton candy, soda, etc). As well there are several arcade games available for pay to play.
If you want to have a birthday party, there are a few private rooms available. Big enough for about 12 people.
RK does have coupons regularly in the cards tossed out to the local driveways. Though the admission prices are pretty reasonable. Even less more so if you bring your own skates/​blades.
The rental skates could use some serious maintenance. typically the laces are broken and will not lace all the way up. the wheels and bearings need to be cleaned and or replaced.
check their website, since they do have specials almost daily (wed family night, sunday night adult only, etc).
In general it is a great family outing at a good price. But the facility could use some serious maintenance.
I will continue to come here, but only because it is the only one around.

Roller kingdom has been around for years! It is a great place to go with children who want to learn new experiences.
A couple weeks ago I went here for the first time in 15 years. It is exactly the same as what it look like back then.
The pricing is fairly decent for what they’re asking for but I went on school out time. It was from 1 to 4 Monday through Friday for $ 4.75. There was an extra two dollar fee for rollerblades.
The staff is very nice and friendly, they play games and play music. You may request a song with the DJ. The only problem with that is they may not have some songs that you request.
As for a lockers, there is a bunch. From what it looks like they are $.50 a locker. This is definitely worth it to keep your items safe and protected! I did not get a locker, so I am unsure of how it works.
The roller Kingdom has other activities for children to do. What I mean by other activities is there is games that the children can play and win tickets. By the entrance and exit doors there is a section for ticket items that you can choose from!
I noticed on Thursday night is family night. As of right now it’s six dollars for head of household and $ 2.50 for every other member and your family after that. On their flyer it states that roller skates are included.
The reason why I gave it a two star is because it feels a little hot in the building and doesn’t seem to have fresh air, and the same material (that is covered in carpet) has been there for years which is torn and needs to be repaired. And as for their skates they make your feet stink really really really bad afterwards. I’m not sure if they clean them or spray something or put baby powder in them after use.
I would definitely go back here because it seems like a lot of fun for the little ones.

Coming from CA– staying at a hotel, Found a deal on groupon– fam of four, admission, skate rental, pizza, and soda for $ 24– 1^st time here and going back again!!! even if we didnt get a groupon we would still go there! Not over priced food drinks are reasonable. Staffs are very helpful. Theres a DJ who plays awesome music and games to win a prize. See our video/​pics-​the only thing is some roller skates needs to be replaced and sprayed after each use with disinfectant. Otherwise the most important thing was our kids had so much fun and asked if we can go back and thats why we are!!! :)

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. So unprofessional. This place looks like a dump and it definitely needs to be remodeled. The skates they rent are so uncomfortable and they have holes all over them. The people who work here are jerks and need to be replaced. Overall this place is horrible, not worth the time or money.

What a dump. Unorganized and uninterested employees when you are lucky enough to actually find one. The floor hasn’t seen a vacuum in years.

You pretty much get what you pay for. The wheels on the skate are worn down from going the same direction so you can never skate straight. Same carpet since from when I went here as a small child. The games are dirty and sticky. The actual skating rink has bumps and poorly filled holes so it’s easy to get tripped up. The only reason we still go here is because it’s the only one and my son loves skating. It’s a shame they won’t put forth some money to spruce up the place.

Yup, 1 star. The pros– it’s the only indoor skating rink around. The cons– ohhhhhh boy. Parking lot is riddled with ammo casings. The carpet inside is sticky, stained and looks to be 10 years old but the duct tape patching is top notch. The games that give ticket are in need of work. Say 20 games to play, 8 – 10 are out of order. The roller skates. I shit you not, I asked for kids size 13 and I was given a pair of skates with holes at the toes. I looked at the kid and asked for a pair that was still intact. I get their rentals but if they have holes where the stitches have busted open, throw them away. Cmon man! I get that this business employs tons of high school kids, but the dj Layin down funky beats should be past puberty. Crackling high pitched voice on extreme volume through the speakers mounted in the walls is defining. As a parent, it’s sad to see the options that are available for kids birthdays always seem to be a wreck. Roller kingdom, chuck e cheeses, just stop. Have a party at home or go to more taken care of places like. Coconut bowl, or jump man jump, or even the gsr. Food was marginal. Prizes were close to unattainable… Service was pushy and full of pissy I’m forced to have a job attitude. But a high note, if you collect shell casings or reload your own ammo, the roller kingdom parking lot is a great place to stock up on brass.

Fun when it’s not crowded. I think the DJ talks too much. He needs to let the music play & stop interrupting each song.

The only reason for the three stars is because skating is a blast! To be honest, this place is run down and needs some serious attention. Dear owner, If you’re not going to spend the money to update the place, you can at least make sure the place is clean and well maintained. Most of the skates are old, tattered, and just need to be tossed in the trash.
The positive things are that this is a very reasonably priced activity and so much fun. I used to skate a lot when I was younger so the experience is very nostalgic. I’ve taken my daughter twice now and both times I smiled from ear to ear practically the entire time! It was 8.50 for the both of us and that included skates. If you want a locker which I recommend (who wants to carry a purse around while skating) it will cost you an additional .50. What a deal!
In summary, this is a lot of fun and I will cherish the quality time spent with my daughter here. However, if there was a nicer place I would prefer to go there, but for the price you can’t beat it!
One annoyance is that they charge you .50 to request a song. I find that ridiculous.

Ah, this place is nostalgic. It looks a little run down but it’s doesn’t matter when you are skating around in circles in the dark to current popular music. It’s fun and VERY affordable and somewhere you’d take your little brother or sister to for some hang out time. The food is not what they should be eating but it’s a good place to have some sibling activity.

The thing about skating rinks is you know what you are getting even before you walk in the door. They are generally the same, offering the same services with the same personnel working. That being said, this Roller Kingdom hasn’t strayed from the path. Everything is okay… the service, the staff, the cleanliness, the music and lights, all okay. Well, better than okay but we aren’t talking about an ultra lounge in downtown LA.
Bottom line is the kids had fun, the adults had fun and it doesn’t break the bank. 7 bucks per person for two and a half hours including skates. No injuries and my feet only hurt for a few hours after :)
