Staff was rude and noone was wearing a mask. Had back surgery and I still had to pay to watch my kids skate and make sure they didnt get kidnapped

Review №2

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and a friendly staff. The late night skate wasn’t too crowded and allowed for a lot of free skate. The games weren’t too disruptive and had good participation. Music was at a good volume. Overall a great time!

Speed skating needs to be done during speed skating not during regular skating. You kids and adults who are beginners skaters on the floor

I have grown up my whole life at Skate World, my sister is one of the managers there as well as Haylee, they both do an amazing job. Skate World is the place to go when you have nothing to do. I love hanging around the environment that it has, and they are always trying their best that people of all ages are having a blast. Keep up the good work, Skate World your doing an amazing job.

It was hot in the summer. Its big enough to be a skate park. However, its just flat rink skating. They really should build ramps and invite skateboarders and scooter kids.

I have had two very Bad experiences with the Skate World Staff, and I wont be revisiting this establishment again anytime soon. If the current owners read this review; You need to hire better Staff members; The ones you employee now are Rude and Very Disrespectful. I am a business owner and was going to book a fun day for my staff but after this second incident I will be looking for a more friendly venue.

My kids love Skate World, but all they play is the same music over and over. We made a request of a good, but not so popular song, to be played... but, of course, it wasnt played. Why let people make requests if youre not going to play it?

Staff was Very Rude to My Lady, Instead Of Kindly Asking Her To Or pulling the the side about a dress code violation, The lady simply said, That Shirt is too revealing, Dont Wear It Again, in a rude tone. It was a crop top, But There were several Women wearing them, some of which were clearly teenagers. We Left afterwards and wont be back.

Review №35

Not what it use to be since its under its new management. For a family night some of the music they play is not something a responsible adult would want there children listening to. Sadly we feel we wasted our money to be there.

Review №36

So much fun. The Manager was an asset to the rink. I think her name is Haley Street. Her & her family made it a special experience! Her other half Alex Scott is sure to have new & exciting ideas to make our next trip to skate even more spectacular!!You should go skating!

It was great and fun but I didnt like that everyone had to get out of the skating part because the birthday people had to skate in the middle for there Birthday I also didnt like that we had to play a game I just wanted to skate on my own I and they was having a race game and I cant skate good so yeah and another thing my mom couldnt bring her water bottle in so yeah Skate world is great but its not amazing like Sky Zone

We like to go on family night which is every Wednesday from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. The cost is only $1 admission and $2 skate rental. The kids love to go and its reasonable as far as the cost.

Great place to skate I go with my family every Wednesday. Theres sometimes a line during summer hours on Wednesday but it doesnt take long to get inside at all. You dont have to own a pair of skates you can rent them but if u like to skate owning a pair would be recommended so they have your own feel.

Ive been going to skate world since I was six and I absolutely love it. Yes, there are some people there that act all big and bad but you will find that anywhere you go. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. All they need is some more business and they will be around for a long long time.

Review №58

Great family fun! Sat & Fri nights are mainly tweens & teens. So for younger kids and beginners day time is more efficient. My kids have been skating here for years. Staff is always willing to help with any issue. Birthday parties are affordable and stress free.

Excellent place for kids to go roller skating. They have scate parties among other events. WClear and well supervised. Management here is great too.

Its a great place to go to but I do not recommend buying the drinks and food there way to expensive a small drink is $2 and thats way to much for a drink

Review №61

I love skate world! I wish it were open all the time to give you a chance to skate without so many people/kids being there so you can learn to skate better. I am not a fan of the rental skates so we all bought our own.

Review №62

Had a Birthday party here. The skate rental was confusing. You need to purchase a ticket at the front and take it to the back for your skates. For $4 you can rent training things for kids just learning to skate. Coz unless your child wears toddler skates they cant tighten regular skate wheels for beginners

Review №63

The staff is overall, nice. Pretty clean facility. Prices arent too unreasonable.They need skates that arent broken!They also need some type of security. Very rude, disrespectful, thug wannabes get dropped off here like its a daycare center for delinquents & get in numerous fights every time weve been. Seems to be a lot of the same kids causing trouble, so Im not sure why they arent banned. Im a family of 7 & we WILL NOT go here on Friday or Saturday nights, if at all, due to incidents that happened near us & resulted in 2 of my kids being hit & injured. The parents dont seem to care when they are alerted about their childs behavior. Ive witnessed parents actually encouraging the fights & went as far as following someone home so their daughters could fight these kids.So, *Get better conditioned skates &*better security measures*Keep the prices

I am a skater, all day every day so Ive been to LOTS & LOTS of rinks in other cities & states! This was my first time at Skate World in Indiana but I had an awesome time!!! The energy, the vibe, the music, the atmosphere is really nice & staff friendly. The only one thing I did not like was the floor, Im used to a slippery floor & this floor is extremely grippy. For people who dont skate very well its perfect because you cant do much, but any turns & tricks youd better have the most slippery wheels out there. The rental skates may compliment the floor better, as I have my own skates. Other than that I suggest you check it out, you wont regret it!! P.S. its tucked away in the back and easy to miss so you have to look for it!

Review №67

This place has gone down hill for sure. I wS part of a work personnel before they officially opened years ago and got to know the owners and managers very well, sad to say the owners passed away and the good manager left. The rink guards do not stop kids from doing things they should not and even went past kids throwing shoes on rink floor at others and did nothing. Had a Party and we had food and drinks on the tables, dirty fur balls that wS on the ceiling was floating down and landing not only on the people but also in my drink and food. That used to be cleaned every 6 months to keep that from happening, but I looked has not been done in long time. Food or pizza had no sauce and whT little sauce their was had no taste at all, I actually got sick to.my stomach after eating the pizza we had cheese and pepperoni. The kids who use the triangles to help them learn to skate are all over the floor and dart in front of others skating which should not be allowed someone is going to get hurt and no enforcement of rules at all. Asked for use of a tool for personal skates the kid had no knowledge of tools or parts of skates like the trunk of a skate, no knowledge yet he was in charge if helping others with skates, he was rude and didnt want to be bothered. The people who work there have areas they work in and thats where they stay, they dont help with other areas, and I have been there many times, i can no longer skate so I sit and watch my child and whats going on around me, the language is not good, the fact that kids have and use their cell phones while in the skate rink skating and jus stop cause they are on their phone in the middle of the floor and again the guards do nothing. It really saddens me that something that others took the time nd love to put into this rink to make it good like it used to be and now it has fallen to a bad and sad state, I know how much some love this place and would roll over seeing it look and actions like this. If their was another skating rink and not ice skating but roller skating my child would not go here and that would be the end of the family tradition we have created with this rink. Things need to Change and get cleaned. No wonder not that many come any more.

Been here for 17yrs. Yes it has it moments but you can always count on the owners to make it right. My kids have grown up here and still to this day we skate here. Its like a big family and they try to accommodate everyone.

Review №69

Unorganized, rude and not allergy friendly. Even though food had been already purchased for the party my daughter was attending, she was not allowed bring in an allergen safe snack she could enjoy while the other kids eat pizza and cake, stating that it is their policy. I always joke that I love to spend money at allergy friendly establishments. I now know one place in Evansville where I won’t have to spend my money.

Review №77

If your child needs a walker ask before you enter if they have any. We arrived and stood in line to get in the door. Once at the skate rental they informed us they had no more walkers available. Asked for a refund we were told no they are first come first serve. My 4 year old spent the whole time sitting watching others. Watching 10-14year olds use walkers while little ones that paid are sitting watching.Told we could walk with him with no shoes on on the floor. They have no control of tge kids on the floor. Getting your toes ran over isnt my idea of fun.

Review №89

All the good parts of the experience are overshadowed by the Poor rental skate maintenance. Theyre renting broken roller skates, both inline and quad. Its brazen and nearly criminal to offer and charge for a product that doesnt function adequately. I brought four kids and they changed skates several times each before finding a pair that were even remotely suitable to use. Which took up a large portion of our alloted time. Be prepared to get kicked off the floor periodically also as private parties interests trump paying visitors time.

Review №90

The rating is for the ordering of skates/products and customer service. The staff the owner has working are very passive about anything to do with orders. I was not satisfied with the level of service. I will for sure order online next time. Expect shipping to take about 2-3 weeks for ANYTHING.
