We had an amazing time! We showed up a little early for some food and drink in the Alpine room. We were greeted with warm smiles, a really cool story about the history behind the dome, and then had the best time skating on the rink for 2 hours. Thank you all for being so welcoming and being fun! We'll be back again real soon!

We loved this place on Saturday night! I was requested by my nephew to come back every Saturday! He loved the neon glide night.

I used to go to this rink when I was a kid. It was dark and a little creepy I'm not going to lie. Since the renovations it has been a site for sore eyes. All of the incredible memories without any of the downside. The renovations make it feel like an inviting and friendly place. Management is incredibly kind and respectful. And the venue is super clean as well.

Mike and his crew have really transformed this iconic ice rink. We had such a fun family night on the ice! It was also nostalgic as I skated here 40 years ago. My kids got to enjoy the same experience from my childhood and I was happy to see them light up with joy. We went two weekends in a row, the first being my wife’s birthday and Mike arranged for the whole restaurant to sing her happy birthday. That was a wonderful memory she will have forever. The second weekend was for a Halloween theme night and we won the costume contest! They had treats and pumpkins for us all and it was a real pleasure! What a great rink, amazing staff and an overall awesome time. Can’t wait to be back!
