Really nice staff and a well kept rink. The open skate was fun; it wasnt too crowded and there was nice music and lights. The only down side is that the rental skates were probably the most uncomfortable ones Ive ever tried. They rubbed so much that they literally cut my feet on the inside..

Skates were terrible, and we were told there were no skates with laces even though we could clearly see them in the skate renal. the ice was patchy with cement showing and lots of divits and bumps. the lady at the front desk took my shoes in exchange for the skates and they came back to me damaged. would not recommend.

Ice castle is a nice place to go anytime of the year but especially when its warm out as outdoor rinks are closed. Its very clean and affordable and gives you something to do. Ive been going for many years and I have never had any issues and will continue to go back!

Great spot for family ice skating. My daughter also loves her gymnastics class here. Definitely recommend, but check on their website for schedule changes before going.

Nice place for public skating and hockey. Dress warm since they keep the temperature pretty cool inside.

This is one of my favorite arenas to play hockey at. The competition is a very good level. The ice is decent, though it can get "soft" at times.

Updated to 1 star: employee in ty-m-up shop seemed like he didnt wanna do anything and was quite rude. Rink area needs flooring replaced, I am allergic to mold & got a headache, plus it reeks. Rink does not smell good. Lobby area was too warm, not good for going off of the ice, but didnt smell bad. Only giving it one star because theres tons of room for improvement that is crucial to achieve.
