Fleetwood Roller Rink

So I come at 940pm. I go to the booth with my niece (7 years old) and ask for some tickets to get in and the guy and lady are like you sure you want to come in? You only have half hour to skate. My niece is already ancy ready to go in and I’m like sure why not, so I pull out my wallet and say sure 2 tickets please. And the man has the audacity to say oh sorry were not selling tickets anymore. U know what if you didn’t want us in in the first place then say so u bastard!!! Why would u kill my nieces spirit ?? Never will I ever step a foot in this place! I’m sorry I’m willing to spend my money for my niece can have a decent time even if it was just for a half hour or less! I’m so disgusted. U want to go skating people? Go else where these guys are rude and need to change their attitudes!!!

Pros:
–the guy on skates «refereeing» was fantastic and helped me limp off the rink
–the guy behind the skate counter was hilarious
Cons:
–the food is less than mediocre
–only skates, no blades? Is this 1958?
–very cramped space. We had a private party with approx 40 people, and the space around the rink was sooo small

I had a private party here for my daughter’s 7^th birthday yesterday. There were almost fifty of us, about half beginner skaters. Everyone had a blast.
The service was exceptional. The gentleman who was handling skates and music was friendly, talkative and super helpful. The woman who served the food and drinks was also the best, really on top of it, helping out every step of the way. It’s rare nowadays to see so many dedicated people.
The establishment is very well kept and clean. Skates are new. Pizza is pretty good.
I have no complaints myself and have been receiving texts all last night and this morning from family and friends about how much fun they had.
The Birthday girl also had a great time and has thanked me non-​stop for the ‘best birthday ever!’.
Thanks Fleetwood! We’ll be back for sure!

Went to a birthday party this weekend and had a really great time. The workers were awesome! Very attentive! The kids had a blast! They have new skates. I will definitely be back soon!

My boyfriend doesn’t know how to roller skate and this place was helpful and convenient.
The onlyw bad thing is that it’s crowded with kids falling in the middle of the rink, making it hard to skate… and because it was majority kids, kids would never listen when it was a time for a certain group or if they told everyone to go up against the walls.
I understand it’s a kids and family place, but parents should really watch thei kids closely to make sure they’re not getting hurt or something

This location is complete chaos. There is one thing to be «classic», but being completely out of date is another thing. It all began before we even made it inside. Standing in the tiny hall of an entrance, that cannot possibly be safe, a woman came out yelling to everyone that they «were at capacity for the amount of groupons they would accept.» We had a large group of mostly children. We paid our $ 11 per person (no cheaper for children vs adults), and entered. This is when the true chaos unveiled itself. So many people crowded the dance floor, what appeared to be a «sit-​down area», and the lines for skating. There was no place to sit, and the rink was crowded with adults and children. Children were falling, as they do, and getting rolled into! The place was easily over capacity by about 50 – 75 people. For a second we decided to stay, because the sign said no refunds. However, we realized that we could easily be in line for 30 minutes, and would have only an hour to” skate”. I say «skate» because that utter chaos couldn’t possibly be skating. If they wanted to make it better, they could easily set aside a small part of the rink for children. A majority of our group decided to leave, and after a little of a struggle we were refunded. Later I found out that the other people in our group made it all the way to the front only to find out they didn’t have their sizes. The one star is deserved, b/​c we did at least get our money back. However, they need a lesson in professionalism and fire codes! Though all of that would be worthless without some sort of reconfiguring.

Place was big to fit about 50 people if not more with plenty of room for skating, eating and hanging out. We will be back :)

I thought roller skating would be like riding a bike. Who cares that I haven’t done it in 20 years? Children do it, right? Well, yikes bikes, y’all – this is harder than I remember. But I digress.
This place is clean and well-​maintained, which is a little shocking considering its age and the children that are everywhere. I took my Girl Scout troop here for an outing – we got a group rate and had a good time. I’d recommend this place for something similar like a child’s birthday party.
The only negatives: The rink referees or whatever they’re called get a little crazy shouting at kids for going too fast (come on, let the kids play). And they constantly make announcements over a speaker system that sounds like the adult voices on Charlie Brown (womp womwompa wom).

If you are coming here for a private party (not open to the public).enjoy! It really hasn’t changed that much over the years (which is pretty cool). It’s just a great old time roller rink. The skates aren’t in the best condition but you could bring your own. They have a concession stand that kids love (hot dogs, nachos, pizza, lots of candy). There are employees (that are real nice) that skate out on the floor and monitor the crowd. It’s not expensive, and they have lockers to put your things away. I personally only visit for a private party because open skate is just way too crowded. They also offer skating lessons on the weekends.

As a 25 year old going roller skating for the first time in nearly a decade with fellow 20-​something friends, I probably shouldn’t dock Fleetwood any points for the abundance of obnoxious children spotting the rink floor like little human land-​mines. I mean, if they catered exclusively to adults, who typically prefer more booze-​soaked activities, they wouldn’t make any money. But still. Children, ugh!
My main complaint is with the music. WHY SO MUCH SLLLOOOOWWW R&B??? R. Kelly (or whatever, I’m dating myself) is not skating music! Whatever happened to the chicken dance? The YMCA? The macarena? And why in the world did they play the Cha Cha Slide? «Slide to the left» is not exactly something one can do in roller skates.
