Skatium Ice Arena

I figure skated competitively as a child and took it up again as an adult. I’ve skated at a lot of rinks. The Skatium is better than the average rink. The facility is very clean (most rinks are disgusting) and the ice is good. There are only two reasons I don’t give it 5 stars. The first reason is that they have very few freestyles geared for working adults (all the practice ice is timed for school kids). The second is that the rink is oddly warm. There is often a warm breeze that wafts across the rink creating hot spots. When i skate, I’m working hard and get off the ice sweaty as it is. The odd warm spots make this worse. I mentioned it to a kid the other day that also skates there sometimes and she agreed that the Skatium is oddly warm so it’s not just me…

I wanted to give this place 1 star for the sheer anxiety it creates watching my little one learning to skate… but this place is so fun! Two ice rinks, lots of choices for classes and open skating, a small snack bar that rarely has a worker and its attached to my gym which makes it perfectly convenient.

This rink has very little time scheduled for open skating. It’s also very difficult to figure out when the open skating is without calling. The schedule posted on their website was out of date, and I showed up with my son when there was no skating available. The only hours they have in the summer are a short period in the middle of the day when I’m at work. So this isn’t going to work.

A standard suburban skating rink. They have free skating time and a concessions stand, plus ice skating lessons and hockey leagues.

This is a really fantastic space. We heard such great reviews from friends whose kids have tried out their hockey and intro to skate class where we signed up our preschooler for their Intro to Hockey skating. They allow for a four session intro to hockey for only $ 20 (which includes equipment!). Skate rental will run you about $ 3 each session but they’re pretty decent hockey skates.
I was amazed at how quickly our son and other kids caught on with the skating. I also wanted to mention how amazing Coach Lew is. He was attentive, fun and really knew how to motivate and coach the kids. We will definitely be back!

Love coming here most of the time. staff is friendly, usually not too packed but on occasion it fills up quite a bit! Wouldn’t mind some different/​better music than the top 40 they play. how about some motown or soul or jazz or Slayer or anything that isn’t what you guys play now?
Great deal on memberships for the whole season. if you come pretty frequently it’s super inexpensive and the blade sharpening isn’t too bad either. Well done.

I love this place. I take private classes here and the staff is very sweet and encouraging. So glad I found it!

The renovation to the entire building is great. Come enjoy some great ice skating here. The staff is kind and attentive. Our girls take classes here and the just love it.
