If we werent in a pandemic I would say this was a fun space for free skate. Unfortunately the masks required signs everywhere were not enforced. I was also very skeptical that the crowd I saw was 15% capacity as promised when I paid for the reservation. Staff gave my reservation a cursory glance and looked at me funny when I asked about the masks.
Fun! Went to a OHVA school event here, lady & guy taking money & handing out skates were kind. Theres a consession stand & a big ice rink & a very small hockey item shop.
Just gave them a call to simply add another person on our reservation because we were having trouble doing it online. The lady I spoke to (Marie) must have been flustered prior to me calling because she was unnecessarily rude when I feel like I had a relatively simple request. When she passed the phone off to someone more competent the issue was quickly resolved. Stay away from Marie I geuss!
Center ice is a wonderful destination for people of every age and skill. The staff is always genial and helpful and they go out of their way to make sure conditions stay safe for little ones and those just learning to skate. Their lunch hockey sessions were awesome when my son was just starting out. It’s a splendid place for families, those looking for a fun date night, or for anyone solo just trying to stay active and fit.
I booked a party for my daughter’s birthday early November. Two days before the party my mother was tested positive for COVID. Since I had been exposed I was immediately put into quarantine along with the rest of my family. I unfortunately had to cancel the party and was told I could reschedule when I needed too. Shortly after being quarantine my husband and I both tested positive and had to begin quarantine all over for 10 days after our first symptoms. This meant not leaving the house, no work, no school for my kids. After three weeks of quarantine I tried to reschedule the birthday party. When I called I was told that they were not scheduling party’s anymore due to high numbers and DeWine’s curfew. No problem, they would give me a refund. But there’s a catch...they deducted the birthday cake from the total because they made it already. Now I could understand if this wasn’t a pandemic and I had no reason to cancel my party but I was in quarantine! I had no choice but to cancel and when I tried to reschedule their policy changed. Please tell me, why am I being penalized for this. As soon as I questioned this I was treated rude and disrespectful. Why would a business want to loose not one customer but the other 15 families that were going to attend the birthday over something so small. It’s not about the $20 I’m loosing but the way they handled this. Would they rather me go against the CDC and just have the party and then expose everyone I came in contact with? I will not ever be recommending this place nor will my guest or anyone I’ve told since hearing about this.
Daughter enjoyed skating here. Staff was friendly enough. They have great hours, open late.
Fun really. Little crowded but overall 10/10
This place is awesome. Well priced and will organized. My 3 kids love skating at public skate and my two boys love Hockey with Coach Mike the hockey director. We enjoy Center Ice - I highly recommend anyone that likes ice rinks and related services/activities to stop by and have a look. Hockey equipment is included for people who are learning. Its sweet!
Was a great time with my niece and nephew. It was quick and easy to get in and on the ice. The rental skates are normally dull so be careful. I wish they had a way to quickly sharpen the edges. The people there were nice and easily answered questions.Hope to get back soon.
Anytime I come to visit my family here its a wonderful rink with friendly skaters and staff! I look forward to skating in Ohio thanks to this lovely skating community.
My cousin had her daughters birthday party here. I never have been here but, I, and my family thoroughly enjoyed this place. Clean, neat, friendly and seriously fun!
Ice was well taken care of yet NOT safe to skate. The ice was not monitored! Many kids who could easily skate without the aid of skate walkers were Racing with them, playing bumper cars as they would skate really fast and run into each other, skating in the wrong direction, speed skating, and also just pushing the walkers across the ice in all different directions on purpose. I went to the manager and he said there was someone on the ice but she came in for a break and then had to help give out skates. No excuse! Safety should be number #1 for everyone! He said it was just at a few min. that a monitor wasnt on the ice but didnt deny that the full hour II was skating, no one was present. Many were falling because of these issues. He offered no apologies. I gracefully graded 3 stars. Next time I will ask for my money back. Please pass this onto the owner. The manager didnt seem to care much.
Loved this place. I wanted to pick up hockey as a fun sport to pass the time and they had a drop in style game. Everyone there was super friendly. The staff gave good advice and was exceptionally helpful! Id recommend it for beginners for sure!
If you like rental skates that blister and bruise your feet look no further, staff is nice though
Had a pretty good time. Used rental skates so they were pretty dull. I did expect them to clean the ice after a whole morning of hockey practice right before an open skate. So the full skates and choppy ice didnt make it easy to skate. They do however have free plastic supports for the kids to use so thats very nice. And all of the people working were super friendly too. We will go back again and just hope they pull out the Zamboni before the open skate atarts.....
Always a great time!
Let me tell you this place was 100xs better when Jordan was there scheduled a party a month in advance get called day of to tell us our room has been changed or if wed like to change our date 2 hours befoe2 the party they offer us 2 dollars off per skater we were jammed pcked in a small room. With someone in a wheel chair that could barely get around was very unsatisfied with this. Tell me day of things are changed 2 hours before because they used the other room for hokey gear
We went for a birthday party and had a great time. Our attendant was wonderful and so helpful! I will be planning my kids birthday there. I just wish the bathrooms were a little more updated.
My kids love skating here! Its a wonderful facility, and the staff is very friendly! They have great classes for Learn To Skate, too! We are looking forward to our next trip!
Its hockey day in Stark County...lol. Thank you for an excellent evening of skating. Within the first 5 minutes I heard I wanna go home! a dozen times. Two hours later we are wondering how he has the energy to be giving running high fives to everyone...including the staff behind the counters.
I took my niece and nephew here for their first experience ice skating and the rental skates were awful! They told us they didnt have any lace up skates in our sizes ...and the ones they gave us were plastic and dig into your ankles....and the blades were extremely dull....as an experienced figure skater, the blades made it difficult for even me to skate...there were no employees on the ice monitoring,so there were children throwing cones across the ice and creating snowballs and throwing them at people.
We went for open skate on a Friday night. It was from 8 to 10 pm and it cost $10 to rent skates. Even though there were plenty of people there it was still smooth skating. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend to someone looking for a suggestion!
Its a very nice place my grandson plays hockey there.
Great facilities, clean with a large staging area, and bleachers.
My son is learning to skate and currently taking basic 1 class. He loves it there and his instructor is very patient.
My kids love the Learn to Skate classes (ages 3 and 7) and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to spending more time on the ice at open skates!
The rink itself is nice enough and they have a good open skate schedule. But I had my skates sharpened there and they wrecked the my runners. They were very literally burnt and crooked. I had to pay to have them sharpened twice more else where to fix them.
Dont eat the food!!!!!. We were there and ordered some food and the guy came from skate rentals(handling dirty money and skates)back behind the food stand and handled our food with no gloves and not washing his hands. If they do that right in front of you what are the doing while prepping the food. So gross.
My granddaughter really enjoyed her Birthday Party
Omg...absolutely amazing. My grand children love it there. The staff are so polite, and the food is good with reasonable prices
So much fun....
Nice facility. Ice was good and my rental hockey skates were reasonably sharp. Concession stand is very inexpensive.
This is where I learned to play hockey years ago. Came out of retirement about 5 years ago and play on the adult c league. Its reasonably priced and a great time. Very nice rink.
Some of the people where extremely helpful and friendly and took the time to teach, and someone of the people do not have the patiences to work with young kids on teaching them to skate
Went to a birthday party here. First time going to this place and first time ice skating. She loved it. Great place!
Dress warm if youre watching the game. Arena is clean and well kept. Management has a hometown local feel.
We really had a great time though my skates were very dull. Too many people in line to take the time and have them sharpened.
Great place to take the kids for fun workout breaking the bank. Hours could be better though. Google maps put it on the wrong side of the road when I went.
Nice rink with a good ice surface for skating. The concession stand could use a bit of an upgrade. Usually not busy during open skate times.
Me and my friends had so much fun, and has sort of like a walker type thing for beginners to use until they get the hang of it
The kids love ice skating. Downsides for us are: the open skate hours are pretty sparse, and the facilities and equipment are a bit old.
Noon skate was perfect today! Staff is always friendly and helpful!
Had so much fun!! The lady at the service desk was the sweetest lady. Thank you for making our experience so pleasant!!
Dont go there. They are happy to cancel your reservation but will keep your money.
Fantastic fun for the entire family. Skate rentals and classes for kids and adults. My boys will be learning to skate here this fall.
Great place for kids to learn how to skate and have a lot of fun. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Hours open to the public arent as good as they could be. An hour and a half, twice a day on Saturday is sorta pathetic. Makes it more packed and less fun. Also, Google maps showed it on the wrong side of the road...
Excellent place to play hockey. Loved my experience here, and will continue to. Recommend to anyone and everyone!
Some old lady at the desk was very rude to me and my kids and had a very bad attitude. Sorry we got the open skate time wrong no need to be mean about it.
We had our daughters birthday party here. Everyone made her feel so special! Thank you!
Rude obnoxious employee that sounded like Minnie Mouse would not shut his mouth during our Akron vs. Dayton hockey game 2-3-18. Ruined the game. Fire him please.
Gr8 time playin hockey and we got an xtra half hour to play. 👍
Had a great time with the kids at national hockey day here
Didnt realize it was all pre registration for ice skating but otherwise good place
Nice people and facility. Wish we had something like it closer to Cambridge Oh.
It was really clean but there was so many running into me..I ended up with several bruises other than that it was great
Absolutely great rink played hockey there for seven years
I really enjoy staking there. Some days you can do ice hocky it,is a over all fun place.
Great place to go to an open skate. Friendly staff and a nice ice rink.
Such a fun place. Very good prices on food and family friendly. Will be back!!
Fantastic place to skate, I wish this place was around when I was a kid. I will drop in for hockey from time to time
If I could grove this place a 0/5 stars, I would!!
It was awesome. Friendly staff, and very helpful!
This rink is alright. Facility is dated and on the smaller side, but the ice is frozen and that alone should get you where you need to be.
I love ice skating and everyone there is always nice
Nice place to learn how to skate. It has a nicely maintained rink. I do recommend it.
Staff was very nice. The boys I brought had a lot of fun!
Excellent place for hockey and figure skating!
Great turnouts at lunchtime hockey and drop ins. Love the hockey community here. Small but strong
Nice staff ,friendly people reasonable prices.
Love this place💜💜 would rather be nowhere else when it comes to skating.
Had birthday party there, it was reasonably priced and everyone liked it

2022-03-15We take our children hear for skating lessons. There are a lot of kids taking lessons, but I feel like the staff, especially Michelle, do a great job in organizing everyone. We started out at a different rink for lessons, but were happy that we made the switch.

2022-03-16Pretty fun place to bring the kids! I love the Tash Sultana music they had playing last Saturday. Perfect ice skating vibes!
Review №4
2022-03-10Public skate was fun and only $14 per person. The skates are horribly uncomfortable, making it hard to enjoy the skating because your feet hurt so bad.
