Riverbend Skate

The grand opening for this facility was in May I believe. So open about 2 months. Tonight was our first time there. Upon entering we were greeted by incredibly friendly staff. Behind the register was a game room, pool table, bounce house, couple claw machines, shooter game, and a pool table. You cannot see the skating area upon entering.
To the left you get your skates. Roller blades are not available. A handful of lockers are available, otherwise you can leave your shoes on the very large shelf in the game area. They also have drinks and snacks available that are very inexpensive.
The cost for entry is $5. The cost to rent skates is $3.
I’ll reiterate that my expectation was a new facility, as they have only been open a couple months. That was not the case here. The skates are heavily used. I did not pass judgement, it’s whatever. Entering the skating area was a bit of a let down. Instead of a finished wood floor (as expected), there was uneven concrete. It was also very small in comparison to any skating rink I’ve been to. There was about 15 people on the skating floor and it got very hot and crowded quickly. We spent an hour there and did have a lot of fun, despite the floor condition.
A couple of things that would make the experience more enjoyable. First, $8 per person feels a little high considering the condition of the place. It cost $42.50 for all 5 of us and felt pretty high for an hour. I cannot say if we would have left if we saw the skating area first, but at least we wouldn’t have been surprised. Second, a finished floor suitable for skating.

I will continue to support this place, as it has a ton of potential. The staff is amazing, all of the patrons seemed to get along well, and no issues what so ever. A finished floor will earn a 5 star rating.

Great atmosphere for families. Very friendly and helpful staff with great hospitality! We will be returning! My children myself and nephews had a great time!

I brought my family down for the weekend to come to Riverbend Skate and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was great and there was lots to do. I will be back very soon. If you are in the surrounding areas this is a great place for good fun with good church people.

So glad we finally have an online skating place. The owners are welcoming and awesome. Such wonderful levels of hospitality. It's much bigger than what it looks like on the outside. Can't wait to come back for some more skating fun!
