Skate Station

Great one stop shop for children. Skating, rock wall, arcade, putt putt, bating cages, birthday parties sinks for washing hands are outside of restroom

Fun but pretty old needs remodeling and more staff for sure. They are extremely short staffed, although they manage it pretty well for just how short staffed they are.

Was an awesome place went 3 days in a row wish we would of found it sooner. BUT MY MAN Michael IS AWESOME! The guy took time off his job to help me find my phone when i lost it the guy deserves a couple of raises

I grew up coming to skate Station, first on 6th street then this location. I've had birthday parties here as a child, and then I brought my own children here. I don't understand how they never bother to open 2 lanes for entry like they used to and are set up for. They've never fixed or upgraded anything since moving to this location in the 90s. Now some days and hours they're closed but never when scheduled or according to their Google hours.

Despite having tons of employees on site, no one is ever available and everything takes forever. Been in line for 20 minutes now waiting to go to a birthday party. Ridiculous. Haven't moved an inch. This is the typical experience now.

First time going tonight. I went in around 7 asking about things they had going on. The lady at the entrance was super nice & informed me about adult night they had at 8 on Wednesday's. I came back at 8 and went skating, mini golf, and go karts all for a good price! All around they have good staff as well

Fun. Nice staff. You should host a few events here now is perfect time to

Was a great place the jungle gym was closed due to covid and they dont have and training bars for skate training but it was a lot of fun go karts were awesome and they also have a rock climbing wall was super cool. Putt putt golf course was awesome one of the best ive seen. Great family place.

I love skate station. I usually go on adult night so I don't have to worry about tripping over children. The go karts are fun and the trampoline. The employees are pretty good too.

Reasonable price, get the super unlimited pass, a lot of fun on go cart! Bring 2 quarter for bag storage, skating is fun too: Front desk is a very cute girl, the other guy is also very nice, helped us play climbing, jumping and go carts! You can upgrade from unlimited to super unlimited too for 5 dollars, which I think is worth it, better than paying 7 dollars for only 1 round of go carts. Would come back again later, we had to leave early today for some deadlines

My family and I went here to have a day of fun for the kids. We purchased the large package that let us do just about anything for the entire day. There was a coupon on their FB page for about $15 per person or so. Not a bad deal compared to the regular prices. Due to weather concerns in the afternoon, we did the go-carts first. Afterwards we did the skating rink, video games and then the mini-golf.

The go carts were the highlight of the day. The people working this station were professional, they did a good job handling issues and everything was great. The skating rink was not very fun, the DJ did just about nothing to hype it up so that was pretty boring. The rock wall was not available because nobody was working it. The mini golf area was horrible! Debris all over the place, mosquito's all over and it looked like the place had been deserted almost a year ago with no love at all! This place could be cool with a bit of drive and care from the staff but it seemed like they were busy talking to each other rather than serving the guests.

Fun works has skating, mini golf, batting cage and go karts. Karts are always the most fun. Even the little kids at 46 tall get to ride their own kart. Food may be a bit expensive, but overall a great place to let kids run around!

The only reason this place is still in business is because it doesn't have much competition. Needs some major renovation. I've lived around here for 20 years and there is the same spot of gum on the skating rink that was there several years ago. High prices too. Only reason I give 2 stars is because employees seem to be nice enough and the place itself is actually sorta fun.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!. Took my family there that was visiting from out of town specifically to play mini golf. Paid admission for 7 people and started playing the 18 hole course at 4PM. It got dark and we were at the 11th hole and no lights had been turned on so I called them 2 times and asked them to turn on some lights out at the mini golf range.

The second time I was told all the lights were on that work and the rest didn't work. We finally ended up just quiting because my daughter in law almost fell off a bridge and my 79 year old mom wanted to leave because she couldn't see where she was walking and was afraid of falling. Very poor management and maintenance of this place

This place is a real blast from the past - 90s edition. It has wild carpet and the tan vintage looking skates perfect for instagram-worthy pics. The skate rink itself is very large and has a wall/railing around most of the perimeter. The flooring on the rink has been kept up well, which is a major accomplishment. There is a good amount of space to sit for putting your skates on or spectating.

The skates run a little big, and I recommend some fairly thick socks because the padding has worn down over the years. The music was classic pop and some oldies for the most part. They did let each person in my group request one song. We went with some classics - Let's get loud, I want it that way (Backstreet Boys) and Livin' La Vida Loca.

The employees were all really nice, which was terrific. There was almost no one there, which was nice in some ways because it left lots of room for skating. The only down side was that it took at least 10 minutes for someone to come to the window when we arrived to let us pay and get our skate on. The cost was reasonable. About $11 for skating. I recommend bringing a water bottle.

The worst time ever there website shows things that is not there they only have 15 arcades the golf course was by far the worst very very few lights over grown bushes and trees no water in the streams. Then dont try and get any training skate over a toddlers size1 then when you get in and find out all of this they refuse to refund you your money so once you pay they unlock the door and thats it over with we hates this place I had a 8 year old son 12 year old daughter and a 14 year old daughter and they had the worst time ever we was there a whole 30minutes and begged and pleaded for a refund and they refused because they know once you pay and get inside you will want to leave and not stay inside so they keep your money and you leave unhappy this place needs new owners and management

I was in Gainesville and needed to entertain the children for a day. I found this while googling and a few times on their website said that there were bounce houses. and my kids love those. So we get there, and paid $36 for 2 kids to get the unlimited band. Mostly because they wanted to do the jungle gym and the bouncing. so they told me the unlimited would be the way to go.

Well the kids had no interest in skating, so that aspect of the unlimited band wasn't used. And there weren't any bounce houses. there were the trampolines with bungee cords. so the kids were scared and didn't want to do that. Nobody was working the rock climbing (It's a legit rock climbing wall, nothing my 8 year olds would be able to do), and so I wound up spending 40 bucks (had to buy socks since we were traveling and they just wanted their crocs on) for them to play on basically a McDonalds playground.

The arcade was so small that the kids, who love arcades, had no interest, which was good, because just getting in tapped our spending allowance for the day. The skating rink wasn't anything to make it way better than any other skating rink I've been to. It was basically a lot of glitzy lights and wall paintings to take your eyes away from the fact you just spent so much money for nothing.

I mean the local skate place here, had 2 bounce houses and about the same arcade, a much bigger and nicer rink, and charged $5 for all day skates. I guess I've been spoiled. The girls working the counters were really nice, though. I hope they're making $30 per hour to justify the cost.

Charge to much for birthday parties. My daughters party was unsupervised. Employees never came back and we had to clean off the table and find a garbage can.

Super fun. Went on a Wednesday evening with a couple friends for adult skating night. They played good music and all the workers were nice and attentive.

Skating price was reasonable for a long session (Sunday 12-6 for $9 includes skates, &4 extra for inline). Place has a decent variety of arcade games, big rink, and was reasonably clean. Only reason that I have it 4 stars was that in some places, the place is showing its age. Others in our group enjoyed the go carts.

The concept for several attractions under one roof is sound, but this franchise needs some work on it's product. Attractions include skating arena, climbing wall, arcade, putt-putt golf, batting cages, and go-carts. Food and drink are available. The skating area is large, 4-wheel skates are included in the admission, but in-line skates are $4 more.

You may use personal skates at no charge. Intermittent skating games are played. The climbing wall is supervised, but you need to ask at the counter if an employee is not at the wall. The attraction price includes one ticket for the climb and is not unlimited as the skating. Pricey for the value given The arcade is a bit limited, but popular. Have large bills for the token machine to take advantage of pricing.

The staff had only &5s & $1s when we were there Forget the putt-putt golf. The attraction is run-down, seedy, and should be an embarrassment the management. We didn't use the batting cages. They appeared to be in good shape. The go-cart attraction is $6 extra for two hours. It was well run, good equipment, and worth the extra charge. The food sucks, small portions, and expensive.

Medium soda is $3 and a refill is $2. 20 oz vending machine drinks are $2.50. The staff, for the most, were cheerful and helpful. They were the best part of the experience. Skate Station is OK for roller or in-line skating and go-carting. Everything else is a poor value for the asking price.

This place smells the same as the skating rink I went to as a kid. We passed a fun afternoon with cheesy music and terrible food. My biggest complaint was that a lot of the arcade games were out of order and no one seemed to care.

Went to Skate Station this evening for a fundraiser for my childs school. My kids had a pretty good time, but the place was so dirty and nasty! The floors were filthy and the carpet was all stained. When my son fell skating, I would have to wipe all of the trash off of his bottom and back. The bathrooms, sinks, the big toy.all nasty. They totally need a cleaning crew to come in and take care of that place on a regualr basis.

For goodness sakes our kids are playing in that nasty environment. As I said, the kids had a pretty good time because they don't notice things like that, but it was hard for me to enjoy it when it was just so dirty everywhere that I looked. Yuck!

Decent place to take your family or kids to fairly inexpensive entertainment.

Great place for the kiddies to have fun. Nice rink, rock climbing, go karts, mini golf. Cool place. If they had lazer tag it would AWESOME! When I used to go skating at their previous location off of Main street, they had Lazer tag. The Lock-ins (7pm-7am skating) were the shiznit! Good times. The one thing I don't like is how there are no sinks in the bathrooms. The sinks are out in the open area where people sit and eat etc. Kind of awkward. But other than that, the kids love it so, I guess so do i.

I don't respect mini golf courses that don't respect themselves. Came by on a muggy Saturday afternoon to enjoy some mini golf and go-carts with the family. The mini golf is horribly designed. Not that I take mini golf seriously, but I've never skipped so many holes out of boredom. That foliage surrounding is also fairly unkempt and full of all sorts of bugs, including a giant, nasty banana spider.

I guess if they're going for the "swamp" theme, they've done a good job. The only saving grace of my experience were the go-carts. Fun track and the guys running it were doing their job well. I can't say much about the roller rink or rock climbing since I didn't partake in either, but both looked all right. Ultimately, if you're planning on coming for the mini-golf, find someplace else. Also, be aware of your surroundings for any monstrous banana spider webs in your away.

Skating rink, batting cages, mini-golf, go-carts, rock climbing, video games snack bar, etc. This place has something for everyone. It is mosly for kids, but if you have to hang out there as a adult you will not be bored!
