Red Bird Skateland

My sister and I were wanting to go out together, and we thought this «family friendly» skating rink would be harmless fun on a Saturday night. So we blindly walked in, and immediately were shocked by the amount of people. First thing when you walk in there are people walking around bumping into you, while the music is blaring extremely loudly.(90% of the music is explicit rap) We get our skates and attempt to get onto the skate floor, then try to dodge all of the people speeding past us while the speakers pump filthy music into our ears. A couple of Mexican girls wearing skimpy clothes were on the skate floor moving their hips erotically, and bouncing their butts to the music. Meanwhile young boys in groups blocking parts of the floor would dance also. After a few minutes of seeing this display we’d realized we’d had enough. What’s sad is there were little ones around, and I was amazed they are allowed to run an establishment like this.
This is not a Skating Rink, this is a club.
Please don’t bring your kids here.

I’m just not going to bash this place. It’s pointless. I was there for a child’s birthday party and I don’t skate. I don’t live anywhere close so the chances of me EVER going back is slim to none (unless however I get invited back next year, in which case, I’d decline). Not my cup of tea or coffee. Customer service from the snack bar needs a lot of improvement.

I think it’s sweet that most people are giving this skating ring the benefit of the dought, but this rink sucks. I visited this location on a Saturday afternoon, and I felt like I had just walked into Buttons on a late Saturday Night.
I wish they would put up a sign that says Adults Only or 21+ I took my daughter and her classmates here for a birth day party and I was so embarrassed at how ghetto the people walking around were.
1. The DJ had to frequently stop the music to remind the adults that there was no food allowed beyond the concession area.
2. There were to many people crowded into the small concession area because they had over booked on birth day parties, and it was extremely over crowded.
3. I could not believe how many grown women were walking around in cut off shirts and tights and it was (according to the manager) children’s hour.
4. I literally had to argue with the guy handing out the skates over one of the girls shoe sizes, he insisted on giving her a boys skate that was a still too small. I didn’t understand why he didn’t want to give her a girls skate. I assumed since the place was so crowded, that they had run out of girls skates.
5. The kids had to frequently speed skate around all the Adults not wearing skates walking there babies around the skating rink. At one point I my daughter side swiped a lady walking her little son and the lady got upset! OMG all I kept thinking was lord don’t let me have to fight any body today!
6. I gave this skating rink a 2 because the DJ was decent, he defiantly played the EXPLICIT versions of all the latest songs, and I could totally see myself returning here with my 25−30yr old friends for a girls night out. There were plenty of men walking around looking for boppers.
But as for my young daughter, this is not a place for children.

It’s old. It’s dirty. It’s ghetto. But it’s a lot of fun, and the price is right!

I wont completely bash this skating rink because I used to visit it as a teenager and I was cordially invited there to celebrate a
, first I want to point out the ladies at the front desk are the ONLY reason I will give this establishment 2 stars, they were very personable and customer focused BUT my experience just completely goes downhill from there… I dont know about capacity limits but the place was completely overcrowded. The young gentlemen that are assigned to hand out the skates are R U D E… one attempted to give me a pair of kids skates with a quarter size hole in it and the other just slammed my skates down and walked off without even explaining to me that the adult sizes are in men’s, then he came back and tried to take my kids skates (without the holes) before I even had a chance to remove it from the counter. The music… ummmm…nevermind…I know you have to keep up with the times but «bounce dat a**» is not something that I want my lil people skating around to! I was more than happy to leave!

This was the place to go. Just about every kid, I knew or in my class had a party there. I was there every weekend in my jr. high years. The lockin and flashlight skates rocked! The jumbo size pickles and the pickle pops were the thing to get. It has a nice size rink. Not to big or small. You could still skate around at good pace and not run into anyone, unless they moved in front of you. haha This place holds so many memories.
It’s been years, since I was there last. I hear it’s still as good as it was then.
