This is a great place for you and your family to take the kiddos on the weekend. The staff are attentive and care about the safety of the kids.Its super important for youth to have something to do. If you have little ones they can also play games and win prizes.They have typical snack food like pizza and nachos.Its fairly inexpensive. And if you want to throw a party they have options for that too.Give it a go and enjoy yourself. ️

So I was just kicked out of the Roller Cave Family Fun Center for caring my fire arm. Mind you the place did not have a sign stating that guns were not allowed. Some lady who did not introduce herself ask me to secure it. I told her I had no problem if it was posted which it wasnt. She stated the owner doesnt allow it. She said she called and spoke to the owner which she would not let me speak to and they told me I had to leave. But I didnt. I sat back down. 20 minutes go by another guy not in uniform asked me to leave or put my firearm away. I told them show me where it says I can have my firearm. They proceeded to call the police and have me escorted off the premises. Both the cops said I was right its my second amendment right to have my firearm on me but they failed to post a sign saying I couldnt. We were refunded our money and left. Someone explain to me why I could not have my firearm if they made the mistake of not making it aware not to have one.

I went here for my sons school function. The prices to get in were reasonable but the charged $5 for the learner skate support which I think is ridiculous especially for a elementary school night outing where alot of kids will need them. The games are pricey! They charge 3 or 4 tokens for most games. Overall its kinda small but a cool place especially considering there really arent any skating rinks left in the city.

I grew up in this rink! I deeply appreciate this little gem, its always chocked full of eastside kids and this place gives them a safe space to be kids and have fun. I recently brought some used skates in to buy some gear and had ALL the questions, I didnt catch her real name but the sweet lady who goes by shady was such a help. Helped me get the right wheels on and even put them on herself with the bearings for me! She was helping a couple of other people at the same time but we didnt feel neglected at all. Thanks to shadys help I have my first ever functional set of quad skates

From the beginning of the party, we were not approached at all, like the first 15 minutes. I had to go get someone. There packages dont have anything exciting. Also the food is like finger food. The pizza was like a personal pan pizza in size. On top of all that half of us got sick later that night.....

Nice skating environment with lots of lights. Just a couple things were displeasing with the game area. Some games took your tokens and you couldnt play, the other is the bounce house. I know it is enticing for all kids to want to play, but the bigger kids got in there and pulled the sides down and started wrestling. Not idea for the littles that are trying to play. All in all I would go back, just keep an eye on the little ones in the bounce house.

Great place for kids! My son was having a meltdown an I was having a hard time getting him to calm down. An one of the staff members stepped in an helped him calm down. I wish I wouldve caught the gentleman name. But didnt. I was very thankful for him. Sometimes it takes a village to raise a kid. An I was impressed by his act of kindness!

I was there to buy a new pair of skates. Pro shop was stock as well as could be expected, they were expecting a shipment in approximately a week. My daughter figured out her size with a very knowledgeable shop tech and I was able to get my skates while we were there. Prices were in line with the internet shops and our tech was an Old School skater like myself. We are to be called when my oldest daughters skates arrive at which time my wife will get fitted for a new set of skates.

In this age of video games, its refreshing to know that the Roller Cave is still thriving. This family run business is clean, friendly, and well-run. It is popular for birthday parties, hosts school socials, and offers lessons. On the East side, there are generations of families who know & love the roller cave.

Review №27

Very small inside to have as a rollerskating rink. There are employees standing on the rink while you skate so you have to watch out for them as well. The floor is not made to skate on. It is very slippery. The pizza was like a pan pizza you give to a 5 year old. They had no wall to protect the guest from the skaters if they could not stop. They basic party area was on the skating area. High prices poor food.

Very very very disappointed, I came here to attend a Birthday and my daughter she is 15 years old and did not plan to skate and I had to pay 10$ for her to just sit and watch small children skate is very disappointing and the costumer service was even more of of a mood downgrade, but I am here to support my God son his third Birthday but I will not come back and hopefully they will be more considerate when a Teenager does not want to skate with small children. MY VOICE COUNTSSincerely a angry Customer/Mother

This experience was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. It was our first time there and all the staff were extremely helpful and kind. I took my 7 year old with me who has never roller skated before and we were able to rent a little thing that she could lean on while she was learning how to skate. We will definitely be going back and Ill be taking my five year old next time too cause I think he would be just fine!

Have to give the owners credit for keeping this place in great shape and maintaining a family friendly atmosphere.I worked/skated here 40 years ago and now take granddaughter and friends and they love it. There is a smaller rink closer to us, but the girls prefer RC for its size and atmosphere.Admission is completely reasonable.Music is a blend of old and new.Its difficult finding ways to occupy pre -teen/young teens and we are grateful places like this exist as so many venues have shut down.

Has been a staple for the Eastside community for many years. Machines need a little updating because it always seems like a few machines go down everytime I go with my children. But good price .

My daughter got roller skates for her 5th birthday and was super excited to use them. We arrived at the roller cave at 6pm got bands and asked if there was a specific time our daughter could use the trainer till. (We had never skated here before) we where told no. We got skates put the on now 6:15. At 630 they informed the whole place everyone had to leave by 7 or re pay. We where never told this or we would not have stayed for 45 min to skate. I asked if we could stay and play games since our daughter was upset about leaving and was also told no..... poorly ran. Will not be back.

The guys handing out skates were rude to the lady in front of me. Many teens/young adults were skating all around the smaller kids with no reguard to hitting them or making the beginners nervous. My kids told me they didnt want to go back to that location

Review №60

Absolutely by far the WORST establishment Ive ever been to in my LIFE. Im from Chicago and relocated to Fishers Indiana and someone told me that this would be probably similar to Chicago skating rinks. Absolutely false...the playlist they played was absolutely HORRIBLE. About 25 kids here total and everyone I talked said it was HORRIBLE and wouldnt be returning. Workers are all rude and lazy. Definitely do not recommend ANYONE come here. Drove all the way from Fishers and it was a waste of time, gas, and energy. Please do better for future customers.

Review №61

Decent venue for kids. Tokens for games are a ripoff as each game costs between two and four tokens to play. The arcade is nice and flashy to make your kids want it though. I did appreciate the bouncy house as my younger kids only could handle a lap or two around the rink. PVC constructed rollers were a hit to help The younger kids keep balance. The staff was very friendly And helpful. Seating was amply provided. Music was not always appropriate for human consumption.

Used to be such a great place to go but after going tonight and only staying about an hour I will not be going again! I have been going since I was a kid but now it is a mad house in there. Kids acting like hooligans, no organization, and having to be searched at the door. Ill go somewhere else.

The staff is consistently pleasant and helpful. Prices are reasonable and daily deals / Groupons are often available. The food is not great, but also not exorbitantly priced.the rink itself is a decent size with room for a roped off party space. There is a small arcade, gift/skate shop, and even bounce house for very small children. All in all, there is nothing particularly impressive about the facility, but the fun, friendly atmosphere and staff elevate the experience.

I love how little has changed at TRC. The look, the feel, the paintings on the walls, the smell...everything just as it was when I came here as a kid for school nights. Nostalgic bliss. Good snacks, friendly staff, a perfect spot for families.As I said, its wonderful for school parties.Public skate nights, not so much.The place is packed, security is wanding people at the door and making everyone empty their pockets, and police show up pretty often due to fights. The kids were hardly able to skate due to the volume of people skating and intentionally crashing into them, getting a pair of skates took forever because other kids were cutting in line and nobody said a word, and they werent allowing skate trainers to be used.The kids didnt want to skate anymore after maybe 5 minutes, so we just left.Love this place, but I wouldnt go on a night that wasnt a school skate party.
