I gave it one star only because I could’t give it any less. Don’t waste your time or money. This place was great at one time in the late 80’s early 90’s. However, I can’t recommend it and won’t be going back.
Best place for a kids birthday party hands down. Prices are very reasonable and staff is very attentive. They even have a glow party room that is super fun and unique. They will make your event special and memorable for sure.
We had my granddaughters birthday at star skate. The staff was so nice & very attentive. The kids had a great time & we all enjoyed it.
Great place to take the kids. Food, games, and skating. This place is timeless!
Loved skating here met some new friends also
Super fun!! The kids loved it an its really clean!
This place was a blast!! Definitely a good idea for kids party or just to have fun! Brought me back to my younger days! Only down fall was the music being played with kids 12 and under was stuff I wouldnt let my kid listen too lol
I always always have fun here. It’s such an amazing place, great way to hangout with friends. But the music choice has been not very good lately. But otherwise it’s so great.
Love Star Skate. Staff youre great. Regular are as well. If you have younger children I recommend avoiding Friday nights. It is usually the busiest night and the older kids can get a little rowdy, but we still have good clean fun when we go.
Fun place to skate, however the staff has HUGE attitude problems, also had older kids using toys to trip all the younger kids including my siblings and when I told staff about it they just said they can’t do anything because there “Regulars”. Also didn’t offer any help or anything so WILL NOT COME BACK.
Its a good place to visit the people are kind and caring and nice environment not to hot or cold for the kids
We had our daughters 9th birthday here ... it was awesome! Our host’s name was Darcy (you should request her if she is available). The skating rink was very busy, they were simultaneously hosting four parties including ours. Just as I realized I was running low on plates, napkins, or cups....there was Darcy handing me more :-) On the few moments I had to look around in between phases on our own party, I never once saw a frustrated parent from the other parties “looking for their host” She honestly appeared to be everywhere at one time. Here are a few other really important pro’s if you are considering having your party at the skating rink;* Plenty of trash cans so you can clear away party trash. The trash cans were also never too full. They emptied them multiple times and were very discreet.* I was absolutely shocked at how clean and sanitary it was. You would think between all the different cakes and pizza and sticky fingers there would’ve been a little bit of cleanup that I would have to have done when I first got there but I did not.* Our designated party location it was clearly labeled and clearly marked. With all the other parties they had going on I was surprised at how well organized it was.* The party table plates and all the accessories included with our specific package were laid out very well and set up for us when we first came in. This was a huge relief to me as we were literally coming in as a our party was starting.
My daughter loves going here, be it for a school function or a birthday party. Whole Id prefer a few lights in the parking lot (the place can be hairy to cross with children), the atmosphere is wholesome and the staff very courteous.
Went to my nieces birthday party. It was a good time, the party was nice. The facility and staff were very accommodating and attentive.Star skate is a time machine. Took me back to falling on my posterior 30+years ago.
Great place for a birthday party
A lot of fun for the grandkids. Good amount of supervision. Rolling supports for new skaters. Facilty was clean and attractive even though it hasnt changed much in the 50 years since I was there.
At some point theyre going to HAVE to fix those bathrooms.
This rink has been in Norman since I was a kid but the family who runs it now are truly awesome! It’s clean and well maintained. Great fun for kids and adults alike and a family night out won’t cost an arm and a leg. (Maybe a bruised bum.) LOL!
We rented the whole facility for my daughters birthday. It was awesome! Totally worth the money(which was not very expensive)! The staff was amazing, they played music she likes, they were very attentive, and genuinely cared how her party went! I would definitely recommend!
My daughter took a 5 weeks of skating lessons that finished 2 weeks ago. The class was awesome and the teachers were kind, caring and overall great. Also had an incident where a junior high aged boy was cussing and using the f bomb around young kids. I went and told the manager on duty. She immediately took control of the situation and basically put the young man in time out and told him that it was unacceptable and if it happened again he would be kicked out permanently. The whole situation was handled with professionalism and respect.I saw many birthday parties each weekend and the whole staff was professional and friendly.Can’t say enough about how we were treated. We will definitely be going as often as possible and my daughter is loving to skate.5 weeks for $35. Best bang for your buck in Norman. Highly recommend this. 5+ stars.
I recently attended a party at Star Skate. It bordered on a nightmarish experience for me, personally. The smell of natural gas throughout the building was enough to make me feel very sick to my stomach by the end of the two hours that I was in the space. Essentially EVERY game that they had was broken with few exceptions. One of the only functional games made an incredibly loud, ear-piercing sound, seemingly at random. And if you want to use a bathroom that makes you feel like you are trapped on a very tiny, very dirty elevator, this is the place.
Great place to book a private party! Staff is super easy to work with.
Great birthday party venue! Staff was amazing and helpful. We did the $99 package and they made sure the party was well taken care of and more. Parents might actually have more fun than the kids!
Good birthday venue for kids. The skating assist devices mean even the most inexperienced can skate
Absolutely wonderful place!! Staff is so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend for birthday parties or just free skate.. We will definitely be back. Thank you all so very much!!
We had a blast at our high school formal. We rented the whole place out and had our own play lists. Will definitely use them again for another group activity.
They keep the place stocked, clean and fun. The rule on checking kids out is awesome! They dont just let them come and go if not 18.
They banned me for life and the manager dried following me home. FIND ANOTHER ROLLER SKATING RINK!!
Awesome skating rink. Very professional staff. Kids parties here are a great value. Snack bar area is clean. Private party rooms are really good place for parents to hang out while the kids are skating.
Its awesome I go there to hang out and get food!
Expensive entrance fee to discover there are no bleachers or benches for spectators--which only worsens the view @ a roller derby. Therefore, you must either stand the entire time or bring your own chairs. Very poorly designed w/ a poor view of the skaters and pricey, too.
The party packs for kids birthday parties are very reasonably priced.
We attended a birthday party and the kids loved it. Would recommend this place as it is reasonably priced and they allow you to bring outside food. Definitely worth it.
Best place to go skate, whether it be for hanging out or for your school.
Me and my girlfriend had a great time
My kiddos love skating with star skate
Fun place for a kids b-day party with exercise that I havent done for years
Star Skate is amazing and a great deal for parties. You can rent the whole place out if you want. And teenagers love it. They also have skate walkers for new skaters.
Brandon at Star State is a gem! I went with the intent help a friend learn how to roller skate, as a result we ended up having to switch out her skates multiple times! Usually Ive found, employess get upset or seem put off by this. Brandon was not, and even helped in the process of explaining a lot to her! As always well be back! Thank you Star Skate and your wonderful staff!!!
Went for bday party. It was chaos. The kids had fun and thats what matters. Skates could use some adjustments. A buddy lane would be cool
Omg me and my friends were there and it was amazing!! Tho i hate the rule of if you dont have skates on then you cant past this area but I understand that Is for safety reasons.
Charged for borrowing pipe assistant skating apparatus. TOO CROWDED! Too many certain skaters only allowed times. TINY TWO STALL bathrooms. Skates SMELL DISGUSTINGLY!!!!!!!
Friendly staff and fun for the kids. I do wish there were more games to play for the adults and kids not skating though. Food was ok.
My daughter loves coming here!
They hosted a childrens Christmas party for my husbands work. It was so nice. The helpers were great with the kids & very polite. They are always very nice!
It’s a lot of fun for older children but it sucks if you have young kids. They kept kicking my girls off the floor so they could have races and stupid contests. I brought my kids to skate and have a good time and they only got to skate for maybe an hour in the 3 hours we were there. It’ll be fun for them when they turn 7 or 8 and are into the races and other activities but it really did suck tonight.
Amazing workers they are super chill I know the owner he is amazing to talk to and the workers talk to all the kids it’s amazing
Very helpful staff. Obviously a popular spot. Ask about a skate mate for kids still learning.
The door is heavy and hit my son in the head when we came in. Also, not enough changing direction to balance leg strength. Otherwise, nice place to skate.
Great place to take the kids.
A great place to skate in circles surrounded by manic children! Fun times, good energy.
The kids had a blast!
THE BEST PLACE TO BE! The environment is so welcoming and it’s such a fun place to go. The workers are all so nice and they are SO good with the kids. DEFINITELY suggest going there and getting your skate on!
Love this place! So great for fun parties! They offer walkers for kids new to skating.
Great prices. Staff is friendly. Played a good mix of songs. Plenty of walkers for the little ones.
My daughter who is 9, attended a bday party, the family rented the entire place for 2 hrs. Lots of fun!
Well I go there every week awesome awesome workers its just the perfect place to skate definitely a five star they do so well coming this Saturday
We had our high school after formal social here. We had a blast.
LOVED it!!! There is so many things to do here from the arcade, to snacking, to obviously skating. The staff is very good with kids, and they make it obvious they have a good time at work. They have so many events like the late skate and they’re open on breaks.
Good place. Good old fashion fun. Kids enjoyed it.
It was ok. Wasnt crowded. Lot of kids falling. They dont play games. Lockers have to have a quarter every time u open
My kids LOVE going there and I love to see them skate and they laugh and my cousins love going there and my nieces love going there to and they will beg me to take them so by the end of the week I am broke
Amazing place friendly workers safe environment and all around fun Id recommend Star Skate to anyone.
Old fashion type roller skating rink. Clean, good for birthday parties
Good music, fun games.Crowded on Thurs afternoon
I love it the placesAre clean they do great jobs with birthdays and has made my kids happy
This is a kid friendly environment that also offers arcade games and a concession stand.
Unsafe environment! There is almost no lighting or security outside the building where children are playing.
The environment is great and it is a fun place for the kids. However, I only give three stars to to their rentable skate being so cruddy. The skates dont stay closed and are in need of replacement. I told the clerk and he swapped them for a pair that worked just as dismally. I nearly hurt my ankle when they came undone. I give two stars due to a skating rink renting sub par equipment.
Bathrooms need serious tending to, but staff is nice and friendly.
Ive thrown 3 PARTYS in the last 4 months there the kids love it. Just dont throw a party on Sunday they close early.
It was great it was one of the best nights of my life
Food is amazing service was great
This is a family friendly fantastically fun filled day! Love going skating! Star Skate in Norman is the best! Augie rocks too!
Kids had a good time. Service for birthday parties absolutely terrible.
Kids loved it. There are rolling stands to help younger kids skate. Fun games and energetic atmosphere
Not good environment flashing lights to over priced
Safe fun place for my son to hangout
We had a birthday party for our daughter here. A++++, they went above and beyond to make it great.Update. Still excellent. We always have a great time here. Always feel welcome.
Had an amazing mom and daughter time here.. the zombie apocalypse game was intense... Cant wait to go back.
Loved it. Best skating experience around. The staff was super nice and friendly and that DJ was something else. The way he weaved songs together was like a wizard sewing together a beautiful tapestry made of unicorn hair and golden locks.
Great skating rink, awesome people, nice environment !
Between the fun atmosphere and upbeat staff this is a place I love to bring my kids all the time. We have had a party here and it was amazing.
They have tickets but the prizes had money sign$
Way under staffed for birthday party. Will never have another one at this place. New to Norman area and first time here. Birthday child had to wait around 20 minutes before she got her skates. Did not get everything we paid for in our package. Very disappointed. Waiting for a manager to contact me back. Very very unorganized and hectic!! The money grab was part of her package and didnt get to do until 30 min after guests left and party was over. Just wow!!
Fun
Fun for kids that just want to roll around the floor. Games suck and a lot of times dont work and dont bother to put up a sign saying that it doesnt work just hide a sign in the corner saying no refunds play at your own risk...if games are cap get new ones or get them fixed...
The birthday package was OK, I could probably point out more negatives than positives with that experience. The all around service was just kind of eh. We’ve only been here a handful of times in a span of about 7 years. The bathrooms are small and terrible, especially if you’re accompanied with young children.
The kids have fun when I take them but personally I think the place needs a lot of remodeling
Nice family place
Very fun place. They even have the new skaters a support device to help them keep their balance and learn to skate. The staff is amazing and helpful as well.
Good place to have fun on a night out
Average skating facility with a friendly staff
They kicked me out because and said dont come back because i was skating to fast. they are stupid people and dont get me started on the manger and owner.
Chris and his staff are awesome, give them a call or stop by to “Get your Roll On”.
Seeing all these little kids skating backwards really makes me want to chase them down, but then I remember my top speed is 5mph .
Skates are old and need to be tightened. Bring your own skates. Birthday parties are great here.
TL;DR: Nice staff, unreasonable pricing system, inappropriate music. Wont go back and wouldnt bring kids here.The admission price is $8.00 even after tax. Its $3 just to enter, so dont count on simply tagging along with a group of friends or just to watch your kids for free while they skate. Then the skate rental is $5, but youre charged even if you bring YOUR OWN skates. They call this an inspection of personal skates charge. My boyfriend has very large feet, and thus most skating rinks, bowling alleys, etc. dont carry his size, and so we bought him skates solely to allow him to be comfortable while skating, as well as to save money on rentals. But were being charged for an inspection anyway? No thanks. (And, of course, they didnt inspect his skates at all. They didnt even ask to see them.)Now, Ill throw in that the staff members at the counter were very friendly and helpful. They were cheerful and created a fun atmosphere for the children. However, children were speeding through the common area on their skates and sometimes even colliding with others or with adults. My boyfriends toes were run over blatantly while sitting out of the way. More staff or more rules and control in the general area would be much better.While stopping the general skating for games is perfectly acceptable, they have a Glow Skate period where ONLY those that have a glowing item (which can be purchased from their gift shop) may skate. We paid to get in, and thus should not be required to pay for or bring a flashing item just to use some of our paid skate time. Many children were very upset by this as well, and I noticed the staff members having to be more insistent and even aggressive towards the children that simply wanted to skate during the Glow Skate time. I encourage the management to rethink this idea, as I believe it will cause more trouble than its worth.The microphone system was not turned up loud enough to hear most announcements made over all of the background noise and chatter, while the music was nearly deafening. We could not hear information being given such as the staff asking everyone to stop skating or exit the rink.Furthermore, concerning the music, I believe that the music selection was NOT appropriate for children. Playing Nicki Minajs Anaconda with children well under 12 years old in the area concerned me. Other songs with curse words were not censored either. While I myself am not horribly prude, I dont feel that a skating environment should expose such young children to these sort of lyrics, and the parents should instead choose whether or not they may listen to these songs in a private setting. What is popular among college students is often not appropriate for children.Unfortunately, we will definitely be travelling further from home in order to avoid this skating rink in the future.
