Customer Reviews

I had a wonderful time. From the time I entered until I left. The skaters amazed me. There were toddlers to young adults on the floor skating with and without a handheld walker for assistance. I was amazed just watching. I hadn't been inside a skating for over 30 years. Things sure have changed since them. This visit has rejuvenated an interest in returning soon. Thanks, Jamison, for inviting me to your birthday party. I want to go again.

Staff was friendly and Momma Mia, our party host, was amazing! She took care of everything! All we had to do was show up and have fun. I would Definitely recommend booking a birthday party, and I am looking forward to booking again next year!

I had my daughter's party here on March 9th. We had such a great time. The vibes were great our Host Kevin was the best. Dj mama mia kept me informed and made sure i understood everything and that the experience was great for us. He was very attentive and on top of everything the entire time. It was so great that I'm having another party there on Sunday. Thanks to SKATELAND for the Excellent experience.

Rink #54! This place did not disappoint. The floor was recently redone. Such a beautiful roll. The artwork was tastefully done. Bright and bold colors. Loved the center of the floor for beginners/jam skaters. The DJ booth is also located here. So the DJ can see a full view of the skaters. The disco balls = yes please! New and fresh carpet oh and Coke products! ???? Attended the first shuffle skate event. I'll def be back. Also want a terrible drive from Pittsburgh.

We had my grandson's 7th B-Day party here tonight, April 19, 2025. The atmosphere and employees are awesome! Just the respect and patience meant so much. I thank y'all for being so gracious and professional. I'll definitely be signing up for skating classes. I appreciate y'all and will be returning. One more thing, I'm so sorry Ms. Justine! We were trying to tip you and we were told it should've been done before the establishment closed. I appreciate all that you did for our family, and you're just the swe

Went for my granddaughter Cyn'Niq birthday party March 9 2025 and Dj Momma Mia and our Host Kevin made this one of the funniest family outings we have had in a long time my family from young to old were out there skating enjoying the food it was the best time and the music and glowing lights made was the highlight will definitely be back next month for my other granddaughter birthday

I decided to skate on Super Bowl Sunday alone, while the hubby was with the boys. I had a great time. I have come to this place off and on my whole life of 52 years, mostly in my youth. I was concerned about the cleanliness or feeling safe. I was pleased with it all.

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Attended my grandsons birthday party! It was a good time for all!

Excellent service!! Made arrangements for my daughter?s 5th birthday & she loved every minute of it!!! Dj Mama Mia/Kevin took great care of us!!! We will be returning!! Thank you so much!!

My daughter went with her class from school and most of the games were broken, the machines robbed my kids money, her credits were not in full on her card, they didnt have skates in her size. I can keep going but at least you get the picture. Completely uncalled for. Fix your arcade games, make sure you have skates for ALL sizes, and when kids pay cash to load a card, make sure its the correct amount. She loaded $20 and got 8 credits.

Had my (adult) birthday party at Skateland last week and had a fantastic time. We were able to rent the rink for an hour before adult skate started to give everyone time to get their bearings on skates. Muffy was great at helping me plan the party and Mama Mia was a fantastic host! Everyone we interacted was very friendly and I would highly recommend checking out Skateland!

We went during the afternoon on a Wednesday. We had so much fun, the DJ is a vibe! It's a small crowd during the afternoon so kid friendly to learn how to skate and have room to fall. We don't live in the area, wish we can come here more often.

I am a total fan. This place is clean, family friendly, and such a great way to indulge in pure fun. The staff is kind and always willing to help or teach you something new.

We've visited a few times but just had our son's birthday party here and had the best experience! The entire crew is friendly and helpful, and Mama Mia goes above and beyond to bring the party and make sure that everything goes smoothly and everyone has a great time. We'll definitley be back!

Very clean very orderly upbeat when D.J Mama Mia is on the scene. She has changed the atmosphere, I'll definitely be back and bringing my church for the Gospel skate that's once a month. Skateland is a fun place to bring the Family and the food is very tasty. We'll be back.

We had a birthday party here for my kids in March and they had a great time. The birthday packages include so many extras and are well worth it! Thank you, Skateland, for making their celebration so special!!

Metal detectors check you in when the doors open, but after a half hour, apparently they don't mind weapons? Cuz no door security after that. Priced outrageous. I brought the kids to skate. They charged me $10 to walk in the door and watch my kids. Silly. Won't be back

Love it. I think it's my favorite roller rink. Clean, staff is nice and helpful. Food is a little pricey and they've add a metal detector at the door, not many games to play but over all it's a great place. Admission is normally $8 and skate rental is $4. There is now also a fee for no skating parents I think it was $3. We'll be going back again and again and again ??

Atmosphere was good. Skates were clean. However, the MC was about frustrated at some of the kids and it set a bad tone

We had my daughter's birthday party at Skateland and we had a great time. Our host Chy was very nice, friendly and helpful. Nothing bad to say about this experience. Thanks Chy and Skateland Mgt!!!

We had a fantastic experience at Skateland for our child?s 13th birthday party! Mama Mia was a fantastic party planner and made sure we were all taken care of! I highly recommend birthday parties at Skateland!

very dirty, trash needed to be taking out they had no floor guard bathroom floor was sticky employees were very rude when i asked a question

Haven't been in decades but it brought back lots of fun childhood memories. Had a great time!

My son absolutely enjoyed his birthday party the host was very attentive and took care of all our needs we will definitely recommend to others and be back ourselves thanks a lot

The guys in this place is So nice ! Great Atmosphere fun place for family.

Just like I remembered it, still a great place for the kids to have fun. Of course it feels like the games cost a lot more but the kids enjoyed it

Hosted my sons 3rd birthday party here. I was a bit concerned at first because there was not much communication before the day of the party & once I arrived 10 minutes prior to the party start time, security did not want to let me to set up? HOWEVER once the manager came over she took care of it all. My party host was AMAZING! I did not have to look for her AT ALL during the party. She was VERY helpful & so sweet! I would definitely recommend the party staff! They were all so nice & helpful! I do plan on re

We love this place,we take the kiddos and we all have a blast,we go weekly, it's great for the whole family, friendly staff, great food,and so much fun.

We had a Barbie party for our 5 year old that was unforgettable! Shoutout DJ mama Mia for being the best host and making every detail perfect

Extremely unorganized place. They seem to not even know what's going on or what's said on the website. I've included the ad for this event and they're playing everything that would be played at adult skate at 9 lol. So kids are in here in their pajama skating to awww skeet skeet god damn and do it til your legs shake, lovers and friends? etc. also all songs from the 90?s. With random horrible off beat new age raps mixed in. There's no interaction from the DJ like what I've came to expect from skating rinks

Wonderful experience here!!! Great food&Music!!! The DJ was awesome

Not very many or any opinions at all for party events that don't exceed 70+ participants. I've made attempts to book something with these guys since August and I haven't had any success:(

Went for a school party. Good roller surface but the rental skates were worn and not as nice as other places in the area. Decent value at the group entry price for the school event.

My friend had her birthday party at Skateland. Our party host, Mama Mia was fantastic! Very engaging and great energy.

So much fun! Staff went out of their way to make sure our daughter had a special Birthday party.

The air circulation in here is the absolute worst. I haven't been here in 8 years and decided to take the kids to see Sonic. The skating rink floor is falling apart and it can be a safety hazard. We won't be going back

Maybe they're not used to seeing Hispanic people. But this is a lot of fun, the people are really good.

Great roller skating rink! Friendly, clean, and fun place. My whole family really enjoys skating here! We had my kid?s birthday party here and it was great! The kids all had fun and the service was wonderful. The process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and helpful!

One of the largest and cleanest rink I have ever skated. The security gate with metal detector was very unusual for me. the security guy was nice once I passed the gate. Rink has enough space so I can try some trick or fast skating without worried about hitting little skaters. Only a downside was the surface of Rink was not super smooth due to the classic wood flooring

Man o man what a good time I had. The place is fun, fun, fun. The thing I like is there is a crowd that love to skate. The music make your head move regardless of the age you are or mood you in. Simple, clean atmosphere that will get my money weekly. My kinda exercise at an affordable rate.

We had a fun time. It wasn't too costly to have 3 hours of skate time and good music! The music could be turned down a bit, it was really loud. The bathrooms weren't clean. The concessions took a long time to get just a few slushees. Overall, it was a fun time!

I used to go here when I was younger. Today was the first time that I took my kids. Brought back alot of good memories. Still one of the cleanest and best set up rinks in Indiana. Only thing was them not having three child size 9 in the regular skate. My daughter did not like using the more restricted ones. Was still worth traveling from Greenwood, In. Loved it!!!

Best birthday experience,my son ever had,it was fun packed

I've been skating here since I was a lil girl on Thursdays. I've been going to the adult nights on Sundays and it's pretty cool. If I had to request or change anything it would be the music. They play the same 30 songs every Sunday night & they are old songs. There are so many trending 2024 songs and I think that playing new trending music could really increase the experience ????????

Great great granddaughter turn seven had a pretty party and had fun with her friends

Good times. Young men had fun! Music was cool and updated!

We had the best time here! We had a family afternoon with my 9 year old daughter and her 3 year old brother. It was ?yes? day and she picked this place! One of the employees, Mama Mia went above and beyond and every time I saw her had a huge smile on her face. Thank you for making our trip so special!! Even though we live in Westfield we will be back!!

is very fun good place lots of kids and there crazy + they have slushy.

Fun place to take kids. They set up a bouncy castle for the kids in the middle. The food was very tasty. Pizza, pretzels, jazzed up fries and cheese sauce. The gaming area was fun, and the kids won some way cool prizes. Best of all the staff was outstanding. Their cheerfulness just added to the fun.

It's fantastic for my daughter the skating instructor is perfect super nice and it gives my daughter a learning experience and have fun at the same time

Outdated, but staff were accommodating and friendly. Great for group events

It was okay if you're into a younger setting, not for me. Overall, the place was clean

We had my daughter's 8th birthday at Skateland yesterday and it was awesome. Logan was our party host and she was amazing. My daughter had a great time and it was so nice to be able to walk in with the cake and the birthday girl and leave everything else up to the staff. Everyone was very sweet and attentive and communicative. We will definitely be back.

Pittsburgh was in the building!!! Rodeo Roll was cool...but I don't wear ?? hats... food next time please

This is a great place for families and kids who want to experience roller skating.

Shocked this place is doing yoga!

I would describe the costumer service of the managers currently as b?tchy. 12.28.24 But my family and I had a good time.

Old school vibe, new school music, clean environment, fun games, classic concession menu and friendly staff, sound system needs updating but u can't have everything can u??

Went here last night and loved it. Staff was extremely pleasant and friendly. I wish they played different genres of music and not just one. It was a great night!

Really good, large rink! I like this place a lot.

The kids had fun. It's been a while since we've been there. I like the remodeling that they've done. The prices are a bit high tho. Next time when I go I'll use coupons.

Awesome place for great family fun!! Staff rocks also!!

Pretty nice place. I even learnt how to skate.

Had great fun with my grandson nice place to skate

I oversee a group of teens and I decided to bring them to Skateland for a field trip. I have been coming to this rink since I was a little girl. It's always fun. Today I experienced how welcoming and kind hearted the staff is. Everything was great. We will definitely be back this summer. Their number one package is worth the deal.

Nice place, very clean. Reasonable price. Very nice staff. Will go again

Great fun for the kids good music and food the only down side would be not all the games work took quite a bit of our tokens other then that great fun

My friend broke her arm due to them doing an activity, it was something that made the middle schoolers (it was a field trip) go back and forth as the lights go on and off, most of the kids couldn't even skate and had a trainer

So much fun. Always love this place.

Fun! Great music and atmosphere! I will be back to skate????

We had our daughter's birthday party here this past Saturday and it was wonderful! The kids had a blast, and our party host was amazing! Will definitely be back :) Thanks!

Had my daughter 5 th birthday party we had a ball

Celebrated my daughter's birthday here first time ever and really enjoyed this experience. My daughter enjoyed herself and the hostess was on point.

Always have a good time at Skateland. Our employees love this place.

Always a good time at Skateland, be sure and check the website for a session. Thursday night adult session is my favorite.

This place was great. We had a blast skating!

Love that the music was so good but I give it a 5start

I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and updated this place was, the floor is HUGE. Other roller rinks in the area are much smaller by comparison, so I appreciated the space this facility has to offer. There was an officer posted out front the entire time we were there, along with a metal detector and bag check upon entry. The multiple security measures they have in place make it very safe and easy to have a good time. Shoutout to my friend for introducing me to this place!

Been skating here since I was a kid! Great place for family fun!

Clean and well maintained. Huge skate floor to accommodate all levels

It's nice and clean and and my kids had so much fun, it has good pizza and nice drinks

My kids are having a good time food is good. Its a lot of spaces. Thinking about having my kids birthday party here Just came back recently and I can't skate but I wanted to enjoy the cool kids ??. I was surprised when I asked if adults can use the skate mates. The music was good and vibes were nice. I might need to take a class

Great security indoors. Very nice environment and laid back atmosphere.

Great new staff ??I took 18 kids and the staff was utterly amazing and helpful.Thanks again staff!

We all had so much fun yesterday! The party host did everything I asked of her! The party was nice! My only complaint was that there was no way to add guest to my invoice to avoid issues during party time and that adults were charged admission fees to skate with their kids that were invited to the birthday party.

We had my daughters 7th bday party at Skateland in northern Indianapolis. We had a blast and staff was awesome. It was on a Saturday at 12p and so not many other people there. Our hostess was great, very attentive, and the DJ/Rink monitor guy was great. He also checked the kids out when leaving the arcade. He was patient and friendly w all the kids. We tipped the hostess and the DJ rink guy. We had 12 kids total and the adults stayed around too. Some skated. Adults had a blast. Thank you Skateland. Hopefull

Arrived at this establishment for the first time. Was greeted at the door by Chad, who was, maybe, security? His first words to my sister were an aggressive ?You're not bringing that food or drink in here!? Ok. That's a normal policy, but the level of aggression was unwarranted. The cashier was unfriendly and borderline rude as well. GREAT first impression. We then went to the concession stand to buy food. There were only a few pieces of pizza left (we had five people in our party). I asked how long befor

I'm a teacher and took a group of students here on a field trip. The staff was responsive, attentive, and flexible. The entire experience went super smoothly. I'd highly recommend this venue!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
