I came here as a kid with my family in the early 2000s to go roller skating and had a blast. Now as an adult, its still fun! Highly recommend!

Awesome rink. Clean and well cared for. Fabulous wood regulation size floor for skaters of all abilities. Great coaches for competitive skaters. Wonderful place to have a birthday party, corporate team building or holiday party. Good exercise and music for all ages. This is the place for family fun and preteen and teen socializing. Friendly owners who care about skating, skaters, and the community. Have some fun with your friends and make new friends, too.

This is a great venue if your feeling nostalgic. I highly recommend bringing your own skates, or pay a bit more for the inline skates.

Great place to take your kids. Its safe and its family oriented. If your child doesnt know How to skate, there are lessons. The lesson are cheap. There is also a Junior skate club and if you want to compete you can. This skating ring has it all.

Fun place to go with friends most Fridays, since there is a cheaper teen skate. The place is a little unkept with trash on the tables (since it gets CROWDED on fridays) and sinks outside of the bathrooms in public display, which personally I thought was a little odd but it doesnt take away from the places quality. Overall pretty nice and fun!

Review №21

Very enjoyable place for a birthday party. Also a great affordable place for a family night out. Skate rentals are $3.00 and they have walkers for the children to use if they can’t skate to good.

Attended an organ music session the other night. The floor was smooth and fast. The food was good and the place was very clean. A mature group of good skaters. Everyone was friendly and a real pleasure to share the skate floor with. Even had a ladies choice couples. If you have been to most other rinks this is unheard of. Even couples skate is almost unheard of. I have no idea what has happened but I am certainly glad I had the pleasure of growing up when we had couples, trio etc. Chivalry is gone I suppose. I have not had this much fun skating in a very long long long time. Thanks to the owner and everyone for making it a most enjoyable time!!!!

Review №27

Its a great atmosphere for younger kids, the music selection is repetitive, wish they would update or play new songs. The pricing is great and they sell food which is nice, nothing special but will definitely help to give you some energy to keep skating.

The saturday morning class was very helpful for my nephew to lear to skate. The intructors are very helpful and are good with children. The floor is flat for the most part and the place is kept clean.

Had an awesome time at this roller skating rink. The prices are decent. $3 admission and $4 skate rental. The music is modern and not too quiet or too loud. The food could be better but the selection or pricing isnt bad either.

Wonder live organ music. The floor is in great shape. Lights and sound are good quality.

Review №41

We love it here. The food is good and very reasonable. The staff are nice. The entry cost is very reasonable. They have Learn to Skate for kids every Saturday. We love Saturday, Tuesday and Sundays at the rink. Not so much Friday nights, Teen night. Often a rude crowd, not appropriate for younger kids to be around. The staff is vigilant... but the rude kids are disrespectful. Avoid Friday if possible if you have younger kids or dont like the F word 99 times a minute.

Review №43

Terrible place. once you get in you could definite have bad impression with the odor of the place. The cashier outside is so rude and sloppy. Reasonable price for admission but the skates are so in bad condition that it seems like they have not been cleaned since they were bought in the 50s. in addition they always have problems that need to be fixed but none bother to touch them to fix the damn skates. And there is no welcoming atmosphere from the employees at all. The food is just horrible. Cant complain much with that cheap price. The place in general is so filthy with trash everywhere, the employees dont even bother to clean but have their eyes on their phones all the time. The music here is so inappropriate for kids. It is such bad place that every time i visit there is a fight breaks out between the kids who come to skate. I definitely will not come here again. And I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. It is just a horrible place to entertain your children or for yourself.

Regarding an earlier remark posted a month ago,which saidIf I could put a zero I would. Do not go here!!!! This place is disgusting and dirty.In response I must say this place is postively not dirty and has the nicest,cleanest & fastest skating in Eastern Pa.Most rinks have dirty worn flloors which are not much fun to skate on. The floor at Fantasy is like GLASS,meaning you can glide with very little effort.I skated for the 15 years and would ighly recommend it!!

If I could put a zero I would. Do not go here!!!! This place is disgusting and dirty. First, the food is horrible. Served cold, service unacceptable and to make matter worse 2 out of my 3 friends got food poisoning. This leads to my next point in which the place is extremely dirty. I actually found a condom in the bathroom floor!!! Do not go. FY: OWNERS SUCK

Love the Live Organ Music Skates on Sundays from 7-9:30pm during Fall to mid Spring and on Saturdays from 7-9:30pm Late Spring through the start of Fall, and the once a month Late Skate with DJ WoodyDee from 11p-2a on the 3rd Saturday each month.

Review №75

It is a skating rink. Your average skating rink with average skating rink food. These places havent changed much over the years. They have a tv with comcast service which they will turn on and tune to a football or baseball game. Most of the employees are friendly and they are not over zealous in enforcing the rules. Carpet is newer, floor in good shape. This review is coming from someone who has skated for 45 years and also took part in family owned skating rinks in the Philadelphia area. Im guessing if an employee threw someone in a chair, he/she deserved it.

Review №82

I am an organist there and I have been there for regular session also.This place rocks on Sunday nights for organ session.I along with 3 other organists share the month. A different organist with differend styles ever week.There is NO attitudes on Sunday nights.I would recommend this place highly whether you attend a regular session or an ogran session.Yes there are problems sometimes, but as with any bussiness that deals with the public, the public is what causes the problems.And the problems that arise are some minimal that its handled descently.You cant beat the prices either. Never had any problems with food. In fact I find the food good for a skating rink. You dont find may skating rinks that serve much more than pizza, soda and candy. At least they have hamburgers and other types of sandwiches.So I would recommend this place.
