It’s a really fun place. One problem is getting run over a lot. It happens a lot. But it is a fun spot. It is super cheap to get in. The skates are amazing and the staff are really fun people and they are very kind. They sometimes also have Roller Derby. Super fun!

Its a good hangout spot but it would be even better if they would get some skates with straps that arent broken or the soul coming up. I feel like there is so much they cpuld fix but just dont because they either dont have the money or dont care. Either way its a pretty good hangout place for me and my friends just as long as you dont plan on skating a whole lot.

Celebrated our grandsons 9th birthday today and all of the grandkids had a blast!! Even the tiny littles got to join in on the fun! Service was excellent, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. The facility is clean and well maintained and provides hours of fun for young and old alike! Has a fully equipped snack bar with food and drinks! If youre looking for good, clean, family fun this is the place to go!

Pizza is literally equally good as Papa Johns. Not a single song played wasnt a hit, the staff was friendly the other patrons were well behaved kids, respectful teenagers and the occasional fun mom. We even won a toy out of the waste if moneys arcade. 10/10 skating ring.

First time here wouldn’t recommend, kids would skate through you and push you for no reason. They also have a sign that says “Make America Skate Again.” kinda sus.. Some people weren’t even wearing masks. Also people judge you if you don’t know how to skate and it smells, I recommend roller city.

I went here last week and it wasn’t fun until friends came. Also, there was a huge group of people who didn’t put their masks on even while they were walking in, the employees didn’t tell them to put masks on or do anything to control the situation and I’m really disappointed that we ended up having to leave.

To be honest One star is a little too generous... This was one of the worst experiences of my life. First of all the skates there were older than my grandma and they made my feet hurt, I had to switch skates like 5 times. Second there were so many people around not wearing masks like hellllooooo does the word pandemic not mean anything to yall!? And last but certainly not least the people there were just rude! these two little girls literally said “move out of the way if you cant skate” even tho they were holding onto each other for their life trying not to fall and a little boy was just skating in between people pushing them on purpose, he did it not once but 3 times like tf! Best part of my night was watching him fall. And dont even get me started on that “Make America skate again”. I would not recommend going here if you are just trying to have a good time with friends.

Good vibes and good rink for skating. Perhaps a tad crowded all things considered, but most of the patrons were wearing masks.

This year was my fourth year to come to the starlight for our company Christmas party. It’s always so much fun. I get to bring my some and skate as well as getting to do a lot luck in the table area. The staff is kind and helpful. The bathrooms are clean and smell good. They even have a cute little basket of free feminine products in the ladies room. They also have colorful lights that spin across the floor while you skate. I love that. It’s a very fun place!

Awesome place! Purchased a slick pair of speeds skates from them and love, love, love them. Super friendly staff, huge floor and great atmosphere. The floor is much better than others in the area. Very grippy so youre not sliding all over the place.

I cant tell you how many times my kids fell. They enjoyed this place so much they where not going to let nothing more nor less of a scuff ruin their mojo! Must go! Fun experience!

Review №20

Though the music is loud and children are running everywhere, it is a safe environment. They have someone on the floor skating making sure all children are safe and helping them up when they fall.With the good things will come the bad things. The one employee that was in the food area was very rude and it wasnt a pleasant experience trying to order drinks and our pizza.

Review №21

Cool place. Have been there for a few derby games- they have typical snacks and a few beers in a very small “beer garden,” however you must stay in a small blocked off section where you can’t leave if you’re drinking. You can’t hear a thing the announcer is saying and they never seem to get a hang of the projector. Love seeing the skaters- would like to see them getting the same standard as a better venue.

My local favorite rink of NWA! Exceptional facility and ownership! True centerpiece for the skating community.

Review №28

It was ok but there were not enough of the things for kids to hold onto when they cant stand alone on skates & people would sit down at a party table for awhile & still keep them so no one else could use them while they were eating or talking. If they are not currently being used I think they should have to share them with others.

Review №29

Fantastic!! Plenty of help with setting up, skate selection, so many little things that make a party easier. Very accomadable and attentive. I only have one objection...I really wish they would keep track of those that paid for their own skates, not just who is in a party. We paid for several adults that had receipts that they paid their way. Otherwise, great place for a party!!!

Review №32

This place brought nostalgia of a time I went to the skate rink as a Jr high kid trying to hangout with the weird scene crowd of people while at the same time trying to pick up scene girls. Its nice that they have an adult night because I dont think I would be able to handle the same crowd that I saught to be a part of back then. I went during their 18+ night and it was enjoyable. Its definitely not a place to have conversation with friends as thats what I hoped to get to do partially there. But I definitely would like to do it again with a few other select friends. There are definitely people here that are significantly better than everyone, but I also hear they are frequents at the rink.

Roller rink and staff 5/5Music 4/5Location 5/5Online presence 1/5Kid friendliness 3/5My opinion is that this rink is more oriented towards young adults and adult, hence the adult night so my 3/5 rating is suitable imo and shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. I will say your internet presence is a joke.Simple things like posting a weekly video of the skate floor, keeping several outlets on social media up to date on you’re current events will only bolster profits. I can tell you’re already doing great so maybe advertiseing isn’t exactly what you’re trying to do but there’s always extra days you could be open. Anyways. Great job. Will increase my rating from 3 to 5 when/if a online presence becomes more obvious. Thanks!

Amazing stadium, you can rent skates, purchase some to keep, or bring your own to wear! If youre bored and youre over a specific age, you can participate in adults night! Or if youre just a kid that wants to have fun, I would definitely reccomend.

Great fun place to go. The week of spring break we planned a trip here for Thursday. Always have fun coming here. Only being 6 shes not the pro she thinks she is... After a bit,... ready to give up. So I went to desk to see what they could do for us, the young man at the desk politely ask ehat I needed help with. As I exsplained our problem he quickly told me that I could roll with her in the center or on the outer space of the rink. He told us not to give up! The customer service is unremarkable . we stayed and she had a great time... Thank you guy behind the skate desk.... Flip Flops nd all... Sacraficing my toes, I went out with her. We were stars out there on the floor. Her smile said it all. Thanks all

Review №67

Not family friendly! be fair stop targeting people that you dont like, you guys permantly banned someone for going to fast and bumping into children on accident even if there little kids and they get injured, its a accident jeez. there was people going faster then the person you banned and there were other people doing a bunch of stuff like kicking,punching,fighting, you guys are jerks be nice and be fair. there are so many problems with your place how are people gonna enjoy there selves with the kind of people there control them ok?. if someone bumps into workers,kids,teens,adults for going fast its most likely an accident ok get that trough your mind,other people doing worse stuff never get kicked out its no family friendly place thats all I know

Ive went here before, and honestly its so fun! The only problem I have is the bruises you get from falling on the wood floor (but that is just my skills). Bruises aside, the music is great and I recommend it!

Cool place to skate. Its filled with kids who dont know what pain is though - theyll skate fast, run into you, make you trip over yourself, and then do it all over again. Their parents and the supervisors do not care.

Hosted my daughters 12th birthday party here. The whole staff was friendly and helpful. They supervised the skaters without hovering or being over-involved. Kayla, our party hostess, was fantastic. She made sure all of our needs were handled without being overbearing. She was sure to ask if we had a specific time line in mind for when we wanted to do pizza, cake, and presents to ensure that things flowed smoothly and allowed for skating. They even had candles on hand which was incredibly helpful since we forgot ours. Also worth mentioning is that the snack bar is reasonably priced ($1.75 for cheese fries?!) and the stuffed animal claw game isnt rigged against you (several kids won prizes, after a few tries). Overall a wonderful experience we would eagerly repeat.

Went for a birthday party on a Saturday. The tables were less than 2 feet apart and each table had a different birthday party. It was WAY too crowded, too noisy to talk to anyone, and not a very good experience. They should not overbook for birthday parties.
