Hi I've never rated any place before, and certainly never left a negative review. However, my niece had a birthday party there today and things did not go well. First of all, there was very little room for the actual party seeing as there are two tables close together and one was for our party and the other table was for another party. Our party was supposed to be paid for individually by those who were going to skate. Most of the party was comprised of those that came for the party and then left when the party ended, and never even got on the skate floor. About halfway through the party, we were told that there were 16 people who had skated, but hadn't paid. The people who skated were supposed to pay before they even got their skates. We knew for a fact that at least some of our party had paid, and there was no way that 16 people hadn't paid. So, our party was stuck paying for quite a few people who didn't even skate. Not to mention the fact that the owners knew that was not the way the party was paying for the skating. However, as they said, they were not going to be out that money.
Western skateland, aka western dirtland, is the crown jewel of bton's nw side. When this place goes out of business it will be a tragedy, surpassing that of putt putt and the zoom flume. The best part of skating is it's really hard to use a smartphone at the same time, so your kid will have to develop some actual life skills.
Had my daughters Birthday there all the kids had fun. The bathrooms could use some remodeling.
Good place to skate.. the floor is has no coating and the sound system is one big speaker in the center of the floor.. coat the floor and get a better sound system and I bet people would come from miles around to skate here...
My daughter likes to go here. We had her birthday party here and they didn't let us in early to set up. So we stood out side with all our stuff and the ice cream cake until the actual hours of operation. When I made the reservation she said we could come in 10 to 15 minutes early to set up, they came out and told us to just hold on a second and then never came back out to let us in. So it cut into our birthday party time because we had to set up everything we brought. Skate time was from 6pm to 830pm for our slot but we had to put away all our party stuff by 8pm. So it seemed like once we were done setting up we had to have cake and then take everything back down. The tiled area where the party and food court area is really slippery when the kids have on skates and i had several of the kids in my party group fall on the tile floor and almost knock over all the drinks on the picnic tables where we were having our party. Their quarter machine games are all a dollar a piece which seems a little pricy to me. My daughter seemed like she had a good time and that is what matters most of all. But as a parent I was totally stressed trying to deal with getting my kids skates, setting up the party while everyone was getting there, trying to keep an eye on the kids and greet the parents as they came in. If they would have let my wife, daughter and I in 15 to 20 minutes early to set up I would have given the place 4 stars.
