Not a bad place, just think of it as the Walmart of play places. Inexpensive, huge, and on par with expectations. It is birthday party central for kids under 8.Pro tip: cash onlyTip for owner: While I love that everything was free for me... Your staff did not charge me to get in, and did not charge me for the concessions I bought. I was totally fine with paying, but they literally did not want to take my money.
Love the place, but the food prices have increased as quality has not.
Long story short its very fun for children and well put together. Youll spend a decent amount of money but its for a good reason because youll get what your moneys worth. In conclusion your time will be well spent here with children or otherwise.
Love this place. Kids love this place. Owners are super friendly. Kids go to summer camp here, it is reasonably priced. We come here as often as possible!
So me and my family went here to the batting cage and the staff lady was counting our money but then the woman asked my sister what 10 x 2 was. Like.... DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL!? ( I did not say that ). When we got to the batting cage went went to the slow pitch cage but the balls pitched terribly and fast. ( I had a giant purple bruise on my nail from that ) please don’t go to the batting cage there because you can find a better place to bat.
Place is closed sold out
Lots of fun things for all ages. Climbing structure with a ball pit and things to let the kids run off energy. Rocking chairs for the caregivers. Took my great grandson there. They have a concession stand.
Go inside and you are instantly back in the 90s. But thats the beauty in a place like this! Children and adults will fit in. Many of the skates are broken, so just be patient finding a pair that works! Lots of fun and priced well.
I love this place my granddaughter had so much fun. They have chairs for the adults the kids can play inside for hours and never get tired. They have food at good prices. I am definitely going back with my granddaughter. Their employees were very nice and courteous. A big shout out to Daisy wonderful employee she aswered all our questions.
They Charge you 9$ to come in even if u just watching your
Birthday party at the roller rink. I thouught the place was a little ghetto. The teens voluntarily said that as well. Bathroom stall doors are low...no privacy. Music sucked. Two ladies at counter was awesome. Very attentive to the 3 parties and kept the place looking ckean. They were on top of it. Went to the go carts and the brakes went out. One of the girls in the party had to slam into a wall to stop. All you could smell is rubber burning. They wouldnt write out an incident report. Said daughter had to come back. Was not a good skating rink in my opinion. Not many people there.
The skates could use an upgrade. Really Wheels, invest all new skates to make your customers happy. You are the only rink in Durham! If you have your own, I would suggest bringing them. But the funnel cake fries(not on the menu, you have to ask for them) are AMAZING!
Still as fun as I remember it after all these years. Classic charm.
Good bargain price. Family own d and operated. Huge play area with actual sunlight. Lots of fun options with mini golf, go karts, and roller skating. It isnt the same chain operated play places. Not too crowded or loud. It is a little dated but was a lot of fun for our family.
This place has rollerskating, mini golf, skate park, indoor Fun house, outdoor maze, and more stuff we didnt try. Staff was really nice. It is very retro but the place is clean and well maintained. Our favorite things are the Fun house and skating
Its a lot of fun for the kids! However I really wish they would put a little money into fixing it up. Its getting kinda run down. However, the prices reflect this!
Its been over 10 years since Ive gone, but when I returned, I felt so happy.
Great Food, Prices, & Customer Service. Could Upgrade the Play Gym & Offer Free Refills. My Daughter LOVES This Place !
First time visiting but we will be back again! Staff was fun. The atmosphere was great. It was genuine family fun!
They saved money on the miniature golf and painted the cement instead of using turf carpeting. Putting on cement? Worse mini golf ever. Must have been a nice place when it was new.
Its awesome I went here for my feild trip they have skating and in the play room the have a ball bit and they have games and they sell ice cream they also had golf
Wheels is the kind of retro 1970s place one finds all over rural America. It reflects a simpler time when all the folks needed to make a good time was the same kind of concrete rectangle that the church basement was made of. Its no-frills, and the cost of admission reflects the fact. Come on out and soak up the kind of family entertainment that existed in the time before cable television and Reaganomics.
My son and I religiously attend Cheap Skate night at Wheels! Every Wednesday night, admission is only $3. Its a great way to encourage my son to finish his school work for the week so that we can go on a special outing to wheels. The skating rink is great and kept in good condition. The staff is always helpful and friendly. We go there so frequently that they know us on sight! In warmer weather, we love the go carts at Wheels too!
My family loves coming here. Its low-key, cash-only but my daughter has a blast! Our favorite part is the skate rink and go-karts.
This place had not changed at all I just feel like they need to do an update and make it look better.. on top of that we went here for my nieces birthday party and they wouldnt let us bring in her birthday cake needless to say she was very upset about that.
They have like 10 speakers and only use 1. Music is extremely low and they close at 9 in the summer?? Not really a fun vibe but good for kids I guess
Very nice facility. Most everyone there was very friendly.
They offer roller derby classes twice a week and different hours for different age groups
Its ok but gets old quick. Pizza was horrible and the games are equal.
It is big enougg to let my little kidcrun all over & play but still secure & small enough to keep a watchful eye on them
Great place to go for family fun. We did the roller skating and all ages there had a good time.
The roller skating ring is nice for the kids.
It is so great I cant even explain it
The facility is a little old but still had an enjoyable experience in the batting cages!
The mini golf is concrete instead of carpet. We got 13 bracelets because you can do everything they have at the park but they only let you use the go carts ones and didnt let us know before we got the $35 bracelet.
It is a fun place but the air conditioning was out. We were there for a birthday party. We burned up the whole time. I was thinking about hosting a party there. Changed my mind not if there is no air!
Kinda out dated and dirty. But still fun for the children.
Very outdated. It really could use a good cleaning. This would drive more people to come
This place is definitely amazing. I brought my niece, service dog, and a friend. My niece loved playing in the ball pit and foam squares. There are go-carts and the guy in charge will ride around with you. (they have 1 seaters and 2 seaters. 3+ age) There is roller skating, a small arcade, and putt putt golf. Prices are great. The kids area is $8 for a whole day. And everything is between $7-$8. Very affordable and the employees are close and kind. ^~^ we all had an amazing time even my service dog did. Will definitely be coming back. And its a plus its usually not too busy at all. It also has snacks and drinks and toys you can buy with points.
Had a Wonderful time for my grandbaby 2nd year Bday party! Hostess was really nice!!! Will definitely come back again!! Thanks!!
It was a great time skating with good music. I went to use the restroom and the owner came in while I was in there. She used the restroom and walked right out without washing her hands.She was serving drinks to parties. We turned in our skates and the young guy put them on the shelf without disinfecting them.
We have been here before and loved it. Today however we come for my 8 year olds birthday and are told that her 2 older siblings cannot join her in the play gym because they are too tall. I am litertally sitting here now watching kids taller than my kids on the play area. What!? So furious right now.
The staff was friendly from beginning to end. We had much to do and we played hard. Theres go-cart race tracks, skating rink, bouncy gym, mini golf, and baseball batting. Food needs improvement because noone of my crew liked it. I recommend this spot for bday parties and school trips. Its very spacious and convenient. It has family fun literally written all over; its officially the real deal
Kids had fun skating...wish they had a wall the let you hold on both sides of rink
Very fun, my kids love this place, but it is very dirty where the kids play
Always a fun time when I come. Location is on point.
While this place is dated, it is still a cool place to rollerskate. They could definitely invest in some upgrades, though.
Its nothing fancy but its a nice skating rink and the staff was surprisingly friendly. Relatively inexpensive, and a decent place to take the kids for night of roller skating or inline.
Good fun, affordable. A bit run down but its perfect for a hour or so exercise for kids. Ours just play and play.. run and climb nonstop.
Nice staff and the young man that helped with the skates was patient and good at his job. However, the floor maintenance need to be done because the floor did not skate that well. Some of the skates had to be returned because wheels maintenance was not done the night before. On the other hand, the young man did not seem to be bothered by cleaning the pairs me and my sister needed cleaning. Nor did he have problems changing three sets of skates because the wheel maintenance was left for him and he was the only one behind the counter servicing the people that was there yesterday. Oh and the music played until later was bad because no DJ came in until about 7:30 or so. But over all I had great fun with my sister and her friend.
Worked here. Used to love going here as a kid. Wish I could skate lmao.
Its dated at the park but still fun. The golf course needs to be revamped. The skating rink was a highlight. The go carts was ok. Some carts are definitely faster than others. Its a little pricey for a few events.
This place is horrible they don’t have air, their skates are trash some have staples poking out on the inside of them. The bolts on some are stripped which means the wheels will not tighten at all. They don’t provide the skate helpers for the beginners to hold on to while skating. Let’s not forget they have NO air conditioner which means very hot durning the summer. They need a big upgrade not sure how people are ok with them not having air as hot as it gets during the summer.
Place is very dirty. Old frosting smeared on tables. Not a single thing has changed since I went there as a kid myself 20 years ago. Ac returns look disgusting and didnt even want to breathe the air in there.
I enjoyed it epically! I live going there every time. Its awesome that you can request songs. Sadly mine didnt get played before closing. Other than that my friends and I had a great night at Cheap Skate.
Great place for the kids. Staff is helpful and friendly.
Nice staff, good music, fun time!
Ive been here several times over the past five years and I realized this week when I went that the indoor play structure definitely has not been cleaned or repaired (duct tape doesnt count) in at least that long. Its really disgusting inside that play structure. Old bandaids everywhere. Spit out gum. Torn covers revealing crumbling dirt-filled foam padding. Webbing ladders all over have come unsewn or have torn. Everything everywhere is patched and cobbled together with no real repairs or replacements to the inner soft structures. Its amazing no child has fallen through the cracks so to speak.
Nice rollerrink. Definitely fun for the whole family. Contemporary music mixed with old school rollll. You can rent skates or bring your own. A small snack stand is available. They also do parties.
Had a nice time. Child bday. Didnt care much for cash only policy. However I understand.
The place is great! If you go late, the place gets crowded but a great place for kids and families
Staking is now open!
Our first few times were okay. We were told we could get in the tunnels with our daughter. Then when we brought my step mother and younger siblings we were told if we were caught back in it that we would be told to leave with no refund. We came every Friday and would spend a lot of money on the little games. We never abused the equipment and just went to have fun with the kids. Once we were made to get out, my little brother (18 months old) fell through one of the poles and got hurt pretty badly. Which would have been prevented if he had his mother with him. My daughter has got her foot stuck in the rope and we had to rush in and get her. I feel that family going in with the children is vital. And they threatened to kick us out. I will never be back. Its too dangerous for kids younger than 5 in my opinion.
Fun place for the kids when youre on a budget, but the place could definitely use some upgrading.
It was fun but we asked for a song and they said they was gonna put it and they never did so not really and they were just playing old school
Good place for our 8 year old grandsons birthday party.
Great place for fun, music and exercise!! Wish more people were there!
The staff was very friendly! The place was filthy. My kids and I played in the indoor gym. I dont think it has been cleaned in years. Im wondering if the health Dept. should be contacted. Im praying my kids wont be sick from the place. My kids had fun. They dont see what I saw.
Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Not too busy on the Sunday we went to the skating rink. I would recommend to adults with or without kids!
I went there for my Grandsons 5 Birthday I was very impressed with the place and really enjoyed himself and thats what counts.
Fun and affordable day for a kid. Great rainy day activity. My kids love the giant climbing/play area and want to have their birthday party here.The whole place feels right out of the 80s but still seems fun to kids.
Take cash 6 because they dont accept cards.. The do have an inside if you really need cash
Nice rink but the ladies bathroom needs attention immediately ....4 stalls and (2) of them do NOT have a door for privacy. The walls between each stall is short and you can see the person next to you. This needs to addressed ASAP.
See to day is my brother birthday right and we went to wheels and we we wanted to go to the playpin and they said I was two tall bet a week ago we went and I was not to tall
Good for fleid trip and family time
Great place for kids as well as teenagers and adults. Go carts, roller skating, indoor fun playground, and food made to order. Birthday Party bookings, an overall GREAT FAMILY atmosphere. Your choice of Recliners or Rocking chairs for adults/parents as they kick back and let the children run their energy out. Free Wifi (a little slow)
Called to reserve a day for my daughter daughters party (Since she enjoyed a previous party I had thrown there so much). The woman who was helping me was very rude and talked to me as if I were stupid. She explained to me that I was only allowed to have the party at one attraction; the skating rink or the play house. I thought I explained myself clearly when I said I wanted to have the party at the play house and pay for several kids to go skating afterward, well apparently I didnt because she raised her voice at me saying maam do you not understand you can only have the party at one place or the other? I proceeded to explain myself again this time in the type of manner she used..she quickly changed her tune and said sure she could help me..but at that point I wasnt spending a dime with them..
I called to book an appointment for my niece party and spoke with Diamond who was very rude and unprofessional. When answering the phone Ms. Diamond was having a personal conversation which lasted about 2mins. She went from booking my party to continuing to have her conversation with the guy whom she was working with. She had no idea how to book the party which lead to me being very upset after waiting and constantly repeating myself. I then called to speak with her manager Becky who I assured I would write an review on how horrible this place was. I can’t believe how bad the customer service is being that they interfere with kids. This will be the last party I book!!!!!!!
Great roller rink. Fantastic regular skaters!
1980s skate place.. Go carts, batting cages, play gym for kids.. Not the cleanest or up to date, but does not keep u from having fun! Great with kiddos. Went rollerskating tonight, 2 adults, 2 kids, $10 total.
Everything is the same as it was in the 90s..no updates in the skating rink
Its was great.
The music was good the carpet was dirty you can smell it and there was no Air
Relatively quiet and not crowded. Things were working but seemed like they may be in need of maintenance regularly. A lesser version of Frankies fun park with reasonable prices.
Loud music coming from wheels passed midnight on a weeknight. Town ordinance says loud music should stop at 11pm. Several calls to Becky, the manager, haven’t made a difference unfortunately. The customer service is lacking for the neighborhood surrounding it. Several professionals in the area have early working hours and children. The base is booming half a mile down the street. When we called at 11:45pm to ask if it can be turned down, they mentioned the party had another 45 minutes and that she would ask them to turn it down. As a place of business, this displays poor management skills over the current party and lack of concern for the surrounding area. Becky clearly is more interested in making a dollar than keeping good relationships with the neighbors that are no longer going to support this business.
LOVED it and my kids loved it too we will be going back there real soon
Nice inexpensive option for kids fun. Lots of activities to choose from. The place is a bit old looking but you get what you pay for. I didnt really like the birthday party options. They do not allow you to bring your own food.
Usually the few times I went staff was friendly and everything was just right except the cleanliness of the place . But this last time I went the staff were super rude . I went back to ask if I can get a refund and asked for the manager and a white older women came out and said “ I am the women what you need a refund for “ in a unprofessional way . The whole we were paying the entrance the cashier had an attitude. Kids under 16 were coming in from the back door without paying && they would go to the back tables and would make up while staff were told that was happening they didn’t do anything . Those kids weren’t even supervised. Horrible place .
Meh. Gocarts are fine, but overpriced, the indoor climber is LAME (the pics on the web are deceiving), the games stink, mini golf is worn out and dull. Two stars for a decent roller rink ONLY.
At first site walking in, it felt really outdated, but as two 20 something year olds, my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun! The maze was crazy cool. Mini golf was blah, but the batting cage was really cool. Go karts were our favorite! Really fun! And roller skating was fun, even though we didnt last long (skates were killing our feet). If you have you own pair, bring em! They are a ALL CASH business though they have an ATM. Overall, for adults, Id give this a B experience. For kids, it may be more fun!
My girlfriends granddaughter ended up having a really really really good time, celebrated her birthday with all of her friends and family. Thanks Wheels
