Customer Reviews

My kids had never been skating before and they had an awesome time! Better than I expected. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Especially Natalie the floor guard. She was so nice to my kids and helping them and checking in on them throughout. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get out of the sun and have a fun stepping back in time! Love the retro vibe it gives off!

Every time we come here the staff is so friendly and helpful. We had my 13 year old daughter?s bday here and she had a blast! Our hostess Hannah was awesome! She was super sweet and was very attentive to anything we needed! Love this place ????????

Brought my girls and couple of their friends to go skating. It was an awesome time , great music, yummy food and fun dancing at the end! We will be coming back over summer break!

I had my daughters 11th birthday party here. Our hostess was named Izzie she was amazing. Her professionalism made it so worth the money. She was at hand to help with everything. Everyone was happy and that meant everything to us. Thanks Izzie!

Currently at this location and came to skate but the DJ has played nothing but Disney music, hard rock and slow songs? on a Friday night?the least we can get is a song with a beat?she told me to write my request on the paper? as I did and made sure they weren't bad songs. You can tell she didn't it to simply get rid of us because she didn't play one song I wrote down?.. and she was laughing and giving rude looks and comments. Also going to other employees talking about us. We are on the 3rd Moana song in 45

We visit this indoor roller skating rink multiple times a month, and every trip is an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff are extremely friendly and professional, always ready with a smile and helpful advice. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned skater, their warmth and knowledge make you feel welcome and supported every time. My daughter absolutely loves the skate school! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and make learning so much fun for her. She's gained so much confidence and

I love this place! They have friendly staff and good prices. I signed up my 7 year old for a week long summer camp that they offer, and she loves it! They have planned activities with cooking, games, skating and arcade time. It is nice and air conditioned in a secure facility. They also provide breakfast and lunch! The price was very reasonable. Tanyan and his staff are great! I would highly suggest this place for a camp, birthdays, or just to skate for fun!

Rented the facility out for my dads surprise party and it turned out amazing, staff were very helpful and DJ Tanyan was great!

We've been increasingly disappointed with our visits here for the last year or so. But we went last December and learned this location was under New Management. So with the kids off school today for MLK, we decided to give it another shot. First session, 11:30 am and the bathrooms were clean! Usually, they aren't, even first thing in the morning. Somehow even the walls seemed cleaner. The pizza was actually edible, I may even say good! The previous management had downgraded to the same plastic frozen horr

Very fun place for our family. Tanyan was a great DJ, energetic but also safety conscious to help us all have the BEST experience possible. The staff works hard to keep things clean and positive. We'll be back!

We love skateland it is my daughters favorite place to go!!! We also go there every year for our school's 8th grade field trip! It's always a great time.

Since I'm unable to respond to any reply?s from business I had to write an additional review. Nice how the 5 star review is the only one visible on their google post. Affordable to who? Your business went from $11-$12 tickets that included a slice of pizza and a drink to $20 to skate with/without skates minus the drink and pizza. And the food prices went up. Yes you are speaking on summer half off prices during the day when people are working and etc. so it wouldn't apply to me. But thank you, maybe that ca

Our STEM field trip was a success!! Everyone had a blast, even the kids that didn't skate. Everyone was helpful and made scheduling easy. I've claimed Skateland for 5th grade!! The 4th graders are so excited for it next year!!

Tanyan is the man! Great manager, incredibly helpful, you can tell he loves coming in to work and making it a wonderful experience for everyone. We bring our before and after school program here every summer, and he delivers each time.

We had a wonderful experience today at Chandler Skateland. The DJ, Tanyan went above and beyond to help us out on his break. He was so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Later he helped us out at the ticket counter and was so patient while we picked out what we wanted. I have been here multiple times before and have always had a good experience. Plus it is always clean! We love Chandler Skateland!

Held my daughter?s 8th birthday party here! She enjoyed the Taylor Swift theme and skating with friends. Our host Hannah took great care of us and the guests!

We were pleasantly surprised by how nice this location is. It looked and smelled clean. The skating monitor was very patient and kind with all of the young kids learning the do?s and don'ts of the rink. I like when they have different activities that are more affordable- it's a great experience for kids these days! I'll be looking to buy my kids skates so that we can cut down on the cost to go.

Cayson was a great host and very accommodating to our large party! They made our logistics very simple. As always, skating was excellent, staff were professional and helpful, the music was bangin, and the facilities were great. I love rollerskating here! Also shout outs to Larry helping our group logistics go smoothly.

Grandchild?s birthday party. The food is overpriced and only not terrible. But that is expected. The place is uber clean, surprisingly so. And the staff were all smiling and friendly. The person waiting on our party served politely and efficient. I enjoyed the banter and positive attitude from the DJ. All around, a great experience. Would happily return.

We had a wonderful experience! Great vibes, great music, and super friendly staff. Shoutout to Carson for hosting a super lit Roll That Dice Session.

My daughter and I skate here often. The facility is nice and the staff is always friendly. DJ Tanyan is awesome and I love how he throws in some of the music I grew up skating to.

We were at skateland today for my son's birthday and had a great time! Grant was the dj for a portion of our time there and he did not miss! He played a lot of classics and mixed in current hits as well. It was honestly the best mix of music I've heard played out of all the visits we have had at the chandler location. Thanks Grant and thanks for another good time skateland!

Fun place to take the family n skate. They offer classes to learn to skate or even just to better your skills. They have great music and the food court is good as well. Will definitely be returning and also continue with the classes.

Skateland was a great idea for a birthday party. Cayson had the DJ Booth playing all the good old school beats. He did a great job entertaining everyone!!!

We took my grandson on his birthday. We didn't buy a birthday package because they didn't sell them during the week. They were doing a theme party and that was the theme my grandson wanted so we decided to have it. I call a week in advance and everything that could?ve went wrong did we got there with our party? They do not allow us to even bring in cupcakes they were supposed to give us a group rate with unlimited pizza for one hour that never happened. We had a whole party at the door. We didn't have a l

My 9 year old loves to rollerskating. We've had her birthday here 3 years in a row now. I do wish the bathrooms were a bit cleaner, and the music blasted just over the rink (and not over the seating area.. Makes it hard to have conversations, sing happy birthday, and enjoy everyone's presence). Our 'party host' quality varies each year. They try (I know they are busy), so I always end up helping in some way. Definitely not a full-service / turn-key party, but the kids love it.

We had a great time celebrating my daughter's 11th birthday. Our host Izzy was AMAZING!!!!She made sure Everything went well. I suggest that you ask for her if using the Skateland in Chandler AZ! Their facility is a Whole Vibe????????????

My 8 and 6 year olds did a week of skating camp there this summer. Their camp lead Teagan did a great job! She taught them how to skate in one day, and then more tricks by the end of the week. The boys loves her and ask to go back next summer! Also, my 6 year old had an accident in the bathroom but I could not leave work to bring him change of clothes right away, Teagan had the wonderful idea of went to nearby Goodwill and got him something to wear right away! How how thoughtful!!! Strongly recommend their

My daughter had her 10th birthday party here and had so much fun. Was worth the money for the vip. Girls felt like stars from are helper Hanna. So much fun and as a mom I was able to have fun because the host took care of everything.

Had an amazing time celebrating my mom?s birthday! Cayson was an amazing dj and made sure we each got a song our group enjoyed!

Went here for my nieces birthday party our Host Amber really went above and beyond. Our host went out of the her way to make sure my son (a guest of the party) felt included since it was his first time skating and she helped him feel confident skating. He had a great time. We will definitely be back again maybe for his birthday party.

At the beginning of the session the dj(Tanyan) was playing awesome music, directing skaters to have wrist guards and making sure the following rules, as well as off the dj stand helping me and my kids out finding skates and the bathroom.

My daughter?s 10th birthday was great! The venue was clean, the party was setup beautifully, and Hannah was the perfect hostess. Hannah went above and beyond making sure we had everything we need.

Worth every penny. The assigned staff (Amy) to our table was so helpful and kind. Everything for the bday party was taken care of, so no worries.

The kids had a great time, i will say the facility is dated, but overall my niece's party was a hit. The pizza was better than expected. Music was really good ??.

I was here and the guy(Carson) that was djing was playing fire music and made every game fun, and the girl that was on cafe(Jade), super nice, super quick, and super supportive when getting me what I needed

First time ever going and it was a Very good experience, had my daughters birthday party there, prices are very reasonable and was super fun.

We went to Wednesday Dinner night. $35 after tax for two to skate a couple hours is pretty steep. You get a tiny cheap crappy pizza slice they probably make for 50 cents and a soda. Waited forever at the window to go in, waited forever for wrist guards, waited forever for the pizza. Employees were all nice but other than that the place is completely underwhelming.

Had a mini surprise birthday celebration here and it was so much fun! It was throw back Thursday and Cayson had a great playlist for the night and was entertaining! Thank you Skateland!!!!

My girlfriend and I came at 3pm for the 3-6pm skating session. It was fun but dead. Nothing the business can do about that! The employees were friendly. Only complaint I had was that they had mandatory wrist guards. I've never worn those since my first day of learning how to skate. I understand why they would implement a rule like that, but how can it be mandatory? They aren't liable if anything happened anyways. I was told you don't have to wear them during adult skate night... and they sell alcohol during

Always a good time, kids love it. DJ Tanyan kept it fun and interesting for the kids with great songs and fun games.

Nice clean place! Fun atmosphere. Long wait to get in with just one person working admission. If you're sensitive to heat this place is not for you. It was so hot we ended up leaving early.

Cool place for the kids and adults but skate times are broken up into separate parts of the day and for the price on some days that's just ridiculous. Plus for an indoor activity it is almost as hot as it is outside. When it's summer and u want some in door fun the place is almost to hot to go. The skates work great though and it is a good size skate rink. If u like skating it's definitely worth it on the cheaper days and it's still fun even if it's hot.

Hannah was an awesome party host and the DJ Natalie was great too! My son and his friends had so much fun skating!

Our daughter had a great time at her 10th birthday party. We picked the VIP party package. She loved going to the dj booth and having her friends sing to her. She also wasn't expecting the huge slurpee drink and spinning the wheel to win 500 tickets. The goody bags are so worth it. They actually come with a lot of stuff that kids enjoy. The only suggestion we have is to add a host. Our host was great but she was extremely busy running from greeting people at the door to trying to accommodate the parties alr

When you enter they scan you with a metal detector and check your bags, so it gives the vibe that it is a dangerous place. Once inside it is fun, not crowded and a nice escape from the Arizona heat and reasonably priced compared to everything else nowadays. They don't allow you to take pictures while you are skating which is disappointing and you can't skate backwards either. The worst part overall was they make everyone, even experienced skaters and adults wear their gross old and used wrist pads or you

My Kids had a blast and our host was the sweetest! Everyone was so happy to help whenever we needed them!! Just an all together great experience, especially for the kids. Will be back!

Cayson was a great DJ at the skating rink today. He had a good selection of oldies mixed with new and was open to personal selections. Thanks Cayson!!

5 stars for keeping the skating spirit alive! I've had my daughters birthday here, planned private parties for special occasions, and always come for adult night. It's always a great time. So much fun we run out of time. Our party host was awesome. We had over 20 people, kids and adults for my daughter's birthday parties and we all loved it. Staff is friendly, facility is clean, lots of fun. I highly recommend coming to Skateland.

DJ Cayson knows exactly how to bring the energy to the rink! Whether it's a busy Friday night or a chill weekday session, he sets the perfect vibe every time. His mixes keep the crowd moving, on wheels and off and he somehow manages to cater to all ages without ever letting the energy drop.

Tanyan is the best! He always finds the best beats for songs to skate to, including great old school favorites from every decade!

I went with my friends and the DJ- Tanyan was amazing. He knew all the best songs to play.

We absolutely love Skateland, Chandler!! We love coming here to skate, and have fun! We love playing our songs. The service here is great!!! Everybody is so nice!

The admission fee has started being charged for audits that not skating , even though the website still advertises free entry. It's no surprise that fewer people are showing up, even on Saturdays. The discrepancy between what's advertised and what's actually being charged is likely discouraging people from coming. If they want to attract more visitors, they need to address this issue and ensure consistency between their promotions and the actual pricing. They really need to train the staff with proper train

Definitely a place for the kids. The USA Skateland in chandler was very dirty and had a lot of stains on the floors. The odor on the inside was musky. It was overly crowded and the food was awful. I would say this place is not wheelchair accessible. They have a lot of rules to follow. The staff were really friendly!

Great experience overall! There was a great mix of music for an afternoon session thanks to DJ Tanyan!!

I love this place. I have been skating here for many years. Tanyan was the DJ last time I went and he was one of the best DJs I've skated with. His music was fun to skate and he had very clear directions.

We had my daughter?s 7th birthday party at skate land and all of the kids had a blast! Our party host Amber was especially awesome! The pizza was not good, and the DJ interrupts the music a lot to rattle of rules, referees should be on the floor giving rule reminders individually not over the Mic. Other than that we had a really good time!

Very clean environment. Pizza and fries were reasonably priced. Everything glows when the lights turn off.

Tanyan is a great DJ! Kids had a blast!

I moved to this area recently and wanted to try one of the skating rinks as I have grown up skating and worked in a skating rink for many years. This establishment is really nice looking and has a really cool atmosphere. The floor is a bit chipped around the edges. The staff was nice enough, but if you tried to ask them questions or go to the counters, they really didn't want to engage and weren't the friendliest. Skip the snack bar if you can, food is over priced, stale and the DP didn't have any syrup. My

This location needs alot of help. Alot of the games are out of service. There are 22 games and 10 don't work. The soda machines don't work they are using 2 liters bottles. They offer alot on their menu but don't have any of it. There is missing tiles on things. They also don't spray the shoes with disinfectant stuff. The shoes and arm bands they make you wear smell awful. There is also no way to dry your hands in the bathroom. The whole building is hot, humid, and smells sour. Save your money!

Visiting from out of town. Walking in its a very exciting environment, creative painting on the walls and kid friendly music. We went on a weds afternoon so it wasn't to many people here. For 6 people 2 adults 4kids we paid a little under $100.00. We wish someone would have told us they do sessions (so once session is over you are done skating) so it's not a all day type of skating. We didn't get a chance to order food but the pizza was decently priced. The staff was very friendly each time I had a question

Absolutely horrible experience as it is all the time. I will gladly make the extra trip to Tucson to avoid this PIT. FORCING advanced skaters to wear wrist bands is bad enough but forcing me to listen to your GARBAGE music is the breaking point. If I can't at least weary ear buds then I won't skate here EVER AGAIN.

VIBES ??? SOO Friendly!!! ? Helpful ? Safe & FuNNNN ? Clean! Fresh smelling!? Affordable ? Great location ? Ok OK this was the best place I've gone to with my kids in a long time. We're making this a regular thing omg the vibes were amazing, the people were ALL nice as hell and we just had the ?BEST time!! ??????

Very friendly and professional people, Natasha, Darian and Tanyan. Would definitely recommend for a family visit!

We had a great time at Skateland the first day out of school for the Summer Carnival event, Dj Tanyan and the staff did a fabulous job creating a fun environment for the kids. Thank you!

Good ,clean , safe fun . Security at front entry point inspecting property and people for weapons. Metal detector at entry point that all guest must pass through. Skate rink has great surface that allows your skate to maneuver easy. $9.50 for general admission and additional $5.50 if you need skate rental. My family and I had a great time on cosmic night. We will be coming back.

It's good for kids to skate but the atmosphere is what makes me gives the place 2 stars. It's not maintained well and the skates smell and the wrist gloves smell of sweat. Nothing is clean here and I wish they would also take better care of the bathrooms. I also wish we could actually hear the DJ, the audio quality is poor. Also, only a few arcade games actually work and all they give your kids is candy, candy, and even more candy ?? Overall, not super impressed with this place :(

Good pricing, about 18 bucks for 3 hours of skating including skates. The dj tanyan was also very good

super helpful staff, especially grant! he helped teach me how to backwards skate - very nice :)

Great place for kids and adults. We arrived at 4pm and they were closing, they apparently open at 4:30 for the evening skating session. We just waited in our car for 15 mins and then got back inside in the wait line. It's a very small waiting area, and lines get long so arrive early. Adults have to do a waiver and once you pay, get your wristbands on and head inside to get your skates or blades. My son literally changed out his skates and blades 4 times lol he was using the scooter we rented for $6 to help

Marleigh did a great job today premiering as a DJ, great annunciation and fun energy!

Super fun roller skating rink!! Kids love it. Floor is nice. Lots of different levels of skaters welcome. Very beginner friendly. Music is all over the place but they're trying to keep everyone happy. Staff has always been really nice.

We had a great birthday party experience! Our hostess Hannah was GREAT!!!

Had my child?s 6th birthday party here, she loved every minute. They were understaffed unfortunately, but it looked like last minute parties were booked which overloaded what employees were there. Was very hard to understand the DJ, my only complaint. Super clean!

Had my daughters bday party there We got to skate have a good time we didnt have to worry about food everything was organized and trying to round everybody up for everything they would announce what was going on at that time for the party aswell. The staff is always nice and very friendly. Great customer service and appreciation We do go as a family and have skate nights there aswell.

Had a really good time cayson knows how to hype up the crowd the energy was awesome

Tanyan did an amazing job as the DJ!! Kept the music kid friendly!

The staff at Skateland are very helpful and kind. They taught my little sister how to skate and rollerblade all at the camp. Skateland is amazing.????

Kids had a blast, music was great and employees top notch. Lots of fun.

This skate place is okay. A bit smaller than the Mesa Skateland. Parking lot is potholed and crumbling (don't let that scare you) but the inside is full of colorful fun and delicious snacks. I love the colorful carpet. It is extra thick, perfect for people new on skates since it slows the roll of the skates. There are lockers to store valuables in. There is a double ramp to allow skaters to go to and from the skating floor at the same time. The skate floor is even with the carpeted floor so there is

I had my daughters 8th birthday party at Skateland in Chandler. It was so fun! Our party host was on top of everything and keeping all the fun going!! I will definitely have another party here! Very organized and awesome at all the things to help you. Also check out the amazing cotton candy tower they offer! It was a HUGE hit!

The staff is wonderful. Everyone is so nice and seems genuinely happy to be there. It's nice to see. The rink brings back memories of my childhood?with its 80?s feel. Which adds to the charm. It has video games, concessions, plus a live dj. We bring our own skates but, they have rentals available for a nominal fee. Wrist guards are mandatory. Helmets should be as well. Plenty of kids and adults falling. Overall, a great time out with friends or family.

Tanyan was a very nice guy and helped out the kids and led a fun scavenger hunt. Will be coming back

Hannah was a great hostess and I thank you her for her service and support

Awesome place to have a awesome party and shout out to Hannah for being an awesome party host :)

Great place to spend time with the kiddos!! Great music, great atmosphere! The price has gone up a little, but what hasn't?! The wrist guards need to be replaced if we are forced to wear them the smell like corn chips.. Food is a lil pricey and not so great , But that's at all skating rinks!!

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.
