Cascade Family Skating

Cascade is an ATL Staple- I was visiting Atlanta this weekend, and I had to see what it's about. I LOVED IT! So cool to see the place that you see in music videos- from the Beyonce to the City Girls, Cascade is THE PLACE to party, chill, and just have a great time! It's for everyone. People here are so friendly, from waiting in line outside, to inside on the rink, and the Staff too!!! I loved the DJ's mix- he was playing some new ATL heat and old school songs at the same time, really a perfect mix for the 11:30pm late skate. I went on the Royal Rodeo Day- they had a hostess hyping everyone up, a mechanical bull, food, etc. My friend and I got there when they started letting people in for the Sip and Skate, so we could skate before it got really crowded. It's not the best if you're a rookie skater and there's crowds and line dancing, so just come on time when your session begins before the rink gets too crowded. Other than that- still a vibe, and we were dancing outside of the rink too! I would absolutely go back!

Cascade is legendary! Love the atmosphere and how they have the Marquis restaurant as well. The views to watch the Sk8 floor is nice. Food is good in restaurant and decent in the snack bar. Floor was redone the past year or so, so it is a great floor to roll on. Staff and security is friendly and serious about safety. It is in a urban area but I trust the property and the staff to ensure they are there for the customers/skaters. Alot of celebs come as well for the ambiance and name and experience! No place like Cascade, one of my FAVE rinks in the A, or the world in my humble opinion ❤️🛼

Not really a skater but the vibes were great there. I felt like it was cool to visit a skating rink that was filmed in the ATL movie and to be able to experience that down south movement with a mixture of old school and new school music playing. If you’re a true skater and love to dance this is the place to go.

Family-oriented skating rink; I had a wonderful time and highly recommend visiting Atlanta just for skating.

I got tickets from Groupon — super easy to redeem. It was our first time roller skating, and while it was harder than we expected, we had a great time! The staff were really friendly, especially the guy in the skate area who helped keep beginners safe. Even the other skaters were nice — one kind lady helped me when I was struggling to cross. Overall, a fun and positive experience. We’d definitely go again!

Felt like I was in the movie ATL… It was my first time here and it brought back memories… I def enjoyed my time with the little ones

I move to Seattle Washington in 2012 I'll be coming to my Skate home for the first time in over 10 years. I'm not visiting nobody.I'm going straight to Cascade family/friends comes second or they can meet me there IDGAF. I beg for you guys to make a skate rink in Seattle, Washington, there is no skate culture up here music is trash. Everybody up here is bagging. For New skate rink You can call it Cascade West... You will know me when you my custom shoes J1s 102 days baby

With Cascade going up in price, there is no excuse to be lacking on some serious improvements that need to be addressed. For one, bathrooms. I have never seen soap actually stocked in the restroom. The sinks are constantly dirty, and they look the same every time I go as if no one is cleaning them at all. The bathroom floors are always wet, which being that your customers are primarily all on skates, is a concern. Secondly, the admission line ridiculous. With your price increases, you should be able to staff a second person to run the second window, at least on your most popular nights. If there is ever an issue with payment, or a party trying to get through (which there often is) it stops up the entire line. Lastly, with these price increases, there need to be updates on the skate floor itself. The gap in wood on the outside of the rink is completely unacceptable, ESPECIALLY considering that a customer just dislocated an ankle trying to navigate through it. There is almost no effort put into the skate experience itself, ie: a decent floor to skate on or cool lights that stay on longer than the slowset. One thing I will give the rink some credit on is that it seems that they are finally starting to get DJs to play more variety, instead of the same tired tracks from 20 years ago played on repeat every session. With these price increases we will be expecting an increase in totally quality experience Cascade.

We were visiting Atlanta and my daughter wanted to visit a local skating rink. We researched several, and the vet owned and black business owned sold me to this facility. My husband and I took our teen daughter in for family night. We don't skate but we can relax and enjoy watching. It was quite a show of talent and years of practice. I enjoyed watching siblings and friends teach others tricks and moves in the center. There was a spirit of congeniality and fun, no competition. It was honestly very cool! If you go on a family night and you need lessons check out the hours. They seemed to have lessons for one hour each evening.

I received an email to leave a review for a party I hosted at cascades and let's just say for the money spent, we were not truly satisfied . After submitting an online inquiry initially Nyasha B reached out stating she was the party coordinator and she could assist me. We went over the details and everything seemed fine until the final payment was made . I left multiple messages at cascades and texted her personally the day of the party so I could come in early and decorate the VIP room we added and she was completely ghosted . Upon arrival the door was jam packed and I again attempted to reach nyasha who advised she would be coming to the front to assist , and never once showed up . Unfortunately we all had to join the line and waste time from our party, that wasn't even properly secured because the women behind the glass proceeded to tell me I owed money. Although I had already made the final payment the day before . After some back and forth another woman came over, showed her where I paid and we were finally let in . Although Decor was part Of the party package there was literally just a garbage bag of a tablecloth on the table and that was all. I then had to quickly set up before the birthday girl arrived which became a hassle when people kept going in and out . If a room is reserved as VIP why is it accessible by multiple doors ? Doors other skaters were using to move through party section, I had to address it multiple times . It wasn't anymore private then the parties being held right outside the room . The only decent person was the girl who helped us . Because she saw the frustration we were dealing with and truly tried to help as much as she could . The food (wings ) was semi cold, the drinks watered down and they forget our fries, which we had to request . Outside of the party, the facility did not enforce any policies . Kids were skating like mad men and there were a few occasion where hard collisions happened and multiple people were falling. At one point the entire front wheel came off my nephews skates and thankfully he didn't hurt himself to bad . One thing I can say is there was multiple parties happening which means the means are there to actually sharpen this place up. Cascades is beautiful but def needs some work from the staff down to the rentals! Provide the experience people are actually paying for.

Had the best time skating last night at the adult skate night from 11:30-3. I want them to get some new skates tho because the rental skates are awful but skating brings back such good memories with my mom. I love skating! The skating rink itself is pretty big, the Dj was great and they have lots of locker space. Overall, I had so much fun. It's $12 to get in and $5 to rent their skates.

This place takes me way back, daddy-o. My hometown in Maryland had one of these old rinks. You know the vibe, ya'll - building looks like an airport hangar, disco ball, a giant room full of lysol-sprayed rental skates. Cascade is just like this, but it's surprisingly recent construction. The company website says it was built in 1998, which is pretty cool because they're channeling the whole late 70's neon aesthetic. That makes it retro-futuristic maybe? Far out! I went for a kid's birthday on Saturday afternoon. Crowd was sparse but energetic, and people were piling in slowly as the session continued. I bet the night skating sessions are packed. Anyway, my rental skates were sturdy and clean, and the music was pretty well controlled for a mostly-kids crowd. I'm not the kind of parent that always expects things to be squeaky clean, media-wise, but I appreciate the DJ's efforts to keep things fun for everyone, you know? I keep reading that Cascade has been used for VIP birthdays and also as a filming location. It's super unique in the area and I had a blast reminding a bunch of kids that their dads can skate, too.

A good time as a one time visit. Went on adult night and it was clearly for those who skate all day long lol I was able to keep up but I felt overwhelmed by the constant speed of everyone around and seeing people not really care about those around them. Only sodas and some junk food available. $20 parking!

We came here on Saturday night. The parking lot was packed and the lines were long. Lines move fairly fast. $10 to enter and $5 for skate rental. The rink was not that crowded and the entire place had a great vibe. Food stand has some good options and good prices. Music was extremely good. it is a vibe.

Don't go if it's cold outside or if it's rainy. You will be standing outside for a long time, freezing or getting wet. It will ruin your experience and fun.

I had my 30th birthday party here and loved it! We booked the VIP Lounge where skate rentals for up to 20 people, two hookahs, wings, fries and soft beverages were included in the price. The food and the hookah was amazing! The staff was very friendly and super helpful. Ms. Annie was our host and made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner as soon as we came in. Definitely would go back and highly recommend for birthday parties.

Omg! Okay so Cascade is definitely an experience to have if you've never been or if you're ever in Atlanta. Just to see all the talent especially black talent , was worth every penny of my $12. The staff was friendly, the food smelled and looked bomb (I didn't eat but plenty of people said they were really good!) We attended Adult Night after missing the lessons but we'll definitely be back for the lessons!

Had such a good time! Always wanted to come here and visit any time I'm in Atl. Whenever I come back to Atl I def will be visiting again.

This is the skating rink that ATL was filmed at so my friends wanted to check it out. We went on a Saturday night and it turns into adults only after a certain time. I think we got there around 9pm and it started getting packed. I recommend you come early. Lots of fun! If you're not a good skater stay in the middle. Also this skating rink does not have roller blades so if you want roller blades you have to bring your own.

I can't believe I haven't ever done a review of this place. I've been here on several occasions-most recently due to a fundraiser I chaired for my sorority. If you want an authentic slice of Atlanta, you can find it here. On busy nights you might want to get here early if you don't want to stand in line-and there is definitely a line (oh yeah if you want good parking too). If you can't skate get to the middle of the floor or you will be run over lol

Outstanding customer service from the door to the floor everyone so helpful I had a party of twelve Jesus and we had the time of our life thanks and we will be returning soon

Great place for families, wish ADULT NIGHT was for 25 and over again. Check ID for verification of age on Sundays. Great place, friendly staff and black owned business. Place was definitely packed and congested. My husband loves this place. He loves to skate.

If you're looking for a skating experience that unlike any other Cascade is he place to be...the music is great, the energy is always A1! So much fun for families and adults during the Adult sessions, truly a fun and energetic place!

They're renovating a little bit (much needed) since the first time I went a couple months ago. Hence, the better rating. The skate floor needs a polyurethane coating or something to smooth out the rough patches. It's never a dull moment here. The best skaters show out! So exhilarating and a great workout. The staff are usually personable. The DJs have been engaging. I still don't like the paying to park $5-25 depending on the day of the week and time you arrive. It's free on Tuesdays to park. Pricing varies from $5-30 depending on the day, time, and any special events. No official skate lessons but, you can get some of these top skaters to teach you for a minimal fee. Please note: your skate lesson with these skaters @ Cascade is not private as it's done during open hours to the public. They rent skates for $3-4 but, you can also purchase skates and supplies from them too in their skate shop. Their café serves more than pizza, hot dogs, and slushies/icees. I saw fried fish only @Cascade.

i traveled with my school to this establishment for a field trip. Even though we had a good time skating, they were very unprofessional with knowing that there was going to be 700+ children here with the rink rented out. The staff did not really help with the dismissal of us. They also delayed our original dismissal time because they were under staffed.

This here??? Hood to death as expected. From the staff to the patrons: just ghetto. Spend your time at Popeyes instead. It's right up the hill, chile. It's a no for me. Leave cascade for TIP.

Zero stars ong, came here and we got robbed. The skating and everything is okay. My boyfriend had his phone stolen and we informed the police man out front and the staff, they made an announcement about it but refused to do anything else. The lockers at the rink don't make any sense to me, anyone can access them and take your items. 1/10 experience.

It was fun with my family. The boys were learning how to skate and it wasn't too many people there.

Easy process to setup and be scheduled in for my baby Birthday party. The price is what got me. Wasn't a head Bussin price lol. The kids skated and so did the adults. we had a blast. definitely will be going back just to go.

Great place to have clean family fun. Great people to interact with friends, and family members, fun skaters Great Food, Great party host. Take your adventure to the next level at cascade family skating.

I took my niece here when she came into town. I've heard a lot of ppl talk about this place, perhaps its because it is iconic and a staple in the community. In my opinion the prices are a bit high. There is a charge to enter the bldg and a separate price to rent skates. The inside decor is a little worn and could use updating.

Cool place to come for family events. We came here on a Friday for a school event with the kids and it turned out great. Kids run this building as they eat, skate, dance, and play all around cascade. Accommodating anyone who isn't a pro skater skating around the outside the center of the rink cascade offers a beginners circle if your a newbie. They have aided skating training wheels if it's your first time and pro shops for gifts and other item. They also have a cafeteria if your kids get hungry for having fun! It's definitely a good Sunday spot for a family outing and offers enough social activities to have you totally involved. All in all good family vibe. 3 stars - The Peezy's

Obviously Cascade is a must when visiting ATL! Went on a Sunday night, visiting from LA. let's start with you have to pay to park now, it's $10 to park in a MORTUARY parking lot..across the street lol. Sunday nights are beyond crowded, the line was wrapped around the building, you can pay to skip the line which is $20 including your skate rental, you can pay via CashApp or Cash. Once you're inside it's even crazier, people everywhere, the rink floor is packed so it's hard to really skate with so many people around. It's also a hang out spot because there are plenty of people there just lounging around chillin not even interested in skating. COVID is still very real , and there was so many people there with NO MASK, so that was the only thing on my mind. Let's not even talk about the customer service at the snack bar... I waited FOREVER just for a bottle of water and a Coke .... the workers were taking their sweet precious time, lagging like they didn't want to be there at all, and kept serving people they knew before actual customers who were waiting in line.

Clean friendly environment to take the family to. Good prices. The music has great vibes and the staff is super friendly

Music was great but don't come if you are worried about COVID. Lockers don't really work and no one watches anything but it was entertaining. Would definitely go again. Apple Pay is also available.

The ATL landmark itself! Cascades. If you've seen almost any Atlanta based movie and they do a skating scene then you're familiar with Cascades and its legendary history. This is one of those places thats stood the test of time and incorporates a classic activity like skating with the pure culture of Atlanta. It's always a great time when you come here. So recently I went to Cascades for a HBO event named "Mixtapes and Roller Skates". This included an open bar, flown in DJs, customized skates, chicken and waffle skewers, skate crews and free skate rentals all night! This was the perfect night! I got a margarita and a whiskey sour that was made to perfection. I'm not gonna say drinks and skates make the perfect combo but it makes for a hell of a time. I know a lot of times new skaters are too intimidated to step on the floor with some of the more experienced skaters. Though, this was all inclusive and everyone had a lane on the floor. I would consider myself a B- skater at best and I felt super comfortable getting out there and weaving through without fear of getting flown into or having to slow down to much for people. The venue itself is just as classic as the activity. Very retro look inside like your typical skating rink. There are pictures running all down the walls of ATL based celebrities who've paid homage to Cascades which shows you just how important this place is to the city. If you live in Atlanta and haven't been to cascades yet I highly suggest strapping on the skates and rolling in because you're missing out!!

Cascade is the most fun I have ever had rollerskating! What a blast! So many great skaters showing out- the music, the vibe and the people while the music plays... unbeatable! Worth the time and cost.

Great place to skate. Some of the skaters were a little rough but I had a great time overall

I went to cascade for an HBO event for the first time. By the time we arrived parking was limited and we were directed to park across the street. We also waited in line for about an hour and half before we were let in. Once we got in it was kinda like a free for all. For the most part the facilities were clean. The floor is really big and the DJ was good. There were a lot of people there so it could've been crowded at times. I didn't use the restrooms. Overall I see why it's an Atlanta classic and I would visit again on a more traditional skate. I don't want to review them based on the experience that HBO provided.

Oh man I love it here! I HATE crowds, but this was different, I loved it. My husband and I went last night (Sunday) and it was packed! We can't skate worth a damn and I could barely make it 2 feet without almost falling...and walking like Frankenstein trying to get from one spot to another. Once we saw what was happening on the rink, we thought better about getting out there :-). We ended up sitting and watching people. Not to show my age, but these kids (20 somethings) are amazing on skates, and I love the diversity: just everybody having a good time. Absolutely amazing. There were people our age sprinkled in, but I think the population was mostly 20 somethings. I would come back to Atlanta just to go to Cascade.

Okay sooooo im a visitor from out of town and was reaaaally excited to see some skaters. Well first off i can go ahead and assure you they do not check ids on sunday nights Had a guy walk up to me and i asked his age and told me 18.. I absolutely love thats it s black owned and i can def say the atmosphere is great, i felt so much energy and just care-freeness, not your typical lame skating rink but babyyyy, the Dj was just terrible that night. I mean the whole 2 hours of being there i only heard TWO songs i knew, everything else i literally had no clue what it was and judging by the other skaters, they didnt either. Highly disappointed with that. Maybe some more r&b or something??? I will say the 21 and up crowd feels more like a club then mature older adults cus i was expecting throwbacks and some good music. Also, babyyyy cascade be PACKED OUT. We got there early so we only paid $5 for parking. My friend and I struggled to get off the rink thats how packed it gets out there. It made kinda zero sense to have the very fast skaters on the very outer rink cus how us slow skaters pose to get off with out falling or getting ran into They do not play when they say slow skaters in the inner circle cus its sooo many people, even when i wanted to take a break i couldnt cus you could barely get off the floor I aint gone lie tho i had a good time but the DJ definitely ruined it for me. Wasnt that many skate groups i was intending to see either. Next time ill try to catch Wednesday adult night instead.. Security was super nice & sweet, walked us to the car and everything.

The place was nice and everything but why do you recharge you to come back in from 11-3 that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.. The pricing wasn't bad but why would I pay the same amount for admission and skates. I'm never coming back over here again!

THIS IS MY FAVORTIE PLACE IN ATL. You get all the culture vibes bro. If you want to just let go and have fun, you won't go wrong coming here.

Great place to skate with family and friends. The only issue I have is when you get ready to leave you have to drop off your skates at the booth in order to receive your shoes, no one is there, and the wait is terrible.

I love this place with all my heart. Been skating here for 18 years, but this year has been down hill, dj avalanche the dj manger, has taken away some of the best dj's, one the favorites is DJ YOGA has not dj all year, last year every session he did a different themes to bring something new to cascade Sunday nights and boom he hasn't dj all year. He also host skate at the park so skaters can bring their families to the park he does so many times for cascade skaters at cascade we don't know why he can't dj, We ask him why every Sunday why he's not the dj and his answer gets more and more depressing every time, cascade use to put what skaters wanted 1st and this year has been going down hill, all we are asking is for dj yoga to come back on Sunday nights we shouldnt let have to go to metro family session to hear him dj or skate towne whenever he dj's. Please bring dj yoga back to Sunday night please I want to give 5 stars but I have to give 3

Real cool to be in the same place where they filmed the movie "ATL". Good place for the whole family. The kid loved it there. Went back the next day while we were on vacation.

This was the worse skating experience I have ever had. Me and my family was highly disappointed with the bad customer service and disrespect. I will never go there again. My daughter threw my grandson a party and it started late, was supposed to start at 5 didn't start til 530. My daughter in law had to clean up the party room and set up herself, and one of the employees was rude and disrespectful. The pizza didn't come til 545 and even though they let us stay after 6 it still was uncomfortable. One of the employees called my daughter a dyke bitch and was doing the most. This was horrible and I promise to never spend another dollar with this organization.

$12 to rent skates plus admission fee, $.50 for locker rental, $5 for storing your items behind the skating rinks 10 to park ACROSS the street (cash or cash app only), not sure how much regular lot costs. It was full when I arrived a little after 10pm for adult night Wednesdays. Advertised, adult night is Wednesday and Sunday. Not sure about concession stand food or prices. When I entered they were playing old Atlanta music (TI, Jeezy, Bone Crusher, Youngbloodz). Then they mixed it with some old Cali music (Snoop Dogg, 2Pac and Nate Dogg). At 11pm they turned the lights low and started playing R&B. But that only lasted for about fifteen minutes and it went to old school hip hop. Skating is for intermediate to advanced because I thought I could skate and I could barely make it around the ring once. These skaters out here don't play and skate hard and fast. Fun experience. They advertised masks required but it wasn't enforced. Some employees were wearing them and like 5% of the customers wore them coming in and/or during skating.

Definitely coming back, last night was amazing. Went by myself and still had a blast. Paid to jump the line then got my skates. They were a little heavy so I recommend buying your own. Almost fell but never hit the ground. Been years since I've done something like this. DJ was on point. Let the ladies get there own turn then the fellas got they own turn to skate solo. People had there moves together Train section was also nice to watch be careful when they call that group to the floor as you may get ran over keep your eyes open! Ladies and gent were nice and friendly no bad vibes whatsoever. ATL music bumping. Spectators watching your every move on the sideline. Place will be packed. Don't be scared to help someone up if they fall who knows it's may be you.

I really had fun but I will never pay for the party room again! Food was 30 mins late but they still made me leave out on time. Then, King (TI's son) was there && he was so rude!! Even after all of that I will still come back just to learn how to skate.

A must visit if in Atlanta! Great vibes, good music, get there early to get some practice in. Wednesday nights are R&B nights! World famous skate spot seen in lots of movies like ATL.

Cascade is the real deal. I went here recently for an adult skate night and it was just as much fun as I remembered skating to be. I had not been skating in about two decades but thankfully it's kind of like riding a bike and I didn't fall! The cost was $11 total for adult night- $8 to get in and $3 for skate rental. This is a roller skates only facility. I didn't see any roller blades. Are those still a thing? I was quite impressed at some of the skater's abilities. The people there seem to take it pretty seriously. After about two rounds around the rink I pieced together that the outer edge is for the fast and furious, the mid circle is for the "trying not to fall" skaters, or the leisurely skaters and the inner circle is where you go to stop for a bit or show off your skills. The music was fun for adult night and the DJ made sure to have a few slow songs for the couple's skate. Awww. The facility was clean and parking is ample. There are also family nights, too so this would be a great place to come with kids. I will certainly be back if only to finally master skating backwards.

Everything was great my grandson loves cascade the friendly we're polite and friendly the hostess was good had a great time.

Great family fun, I took the kids to this iconic ATL staple and we had a blast. $12 for entry and skates. They played music for all age groups. Overall a great place for family!

If I could give 0 stars I would because this place is horrible. My daughter chose this place for her 9th birthday party and so I booked reservations for it. The package was basically 200 dollars for 45 minutes of eat time and 4 hours of skating, the ratio for that was terrible but it's black owned so now I see why. Her party started at 3 and we had to be out of the reserved eating area by 3:45! We know a lot of guests don't show up until 20 or 30 minutes later but anyways it was 3:45 before we knew it and they were pushing us out of the room. I tried to buy more time but no. The hosts had bad attitudes and were handling my child's decorations all shitty, they pushed us out so fast she didn't even get to see her decorations set up. I will never come back to this place and I will be sure to tell my family and friends to never book any parties here. Oh and you weren't allowed to bring in anything but a damn cake. I'll stick to Caucasian owned skating rinks cause your own people treat you like shit and have no hospitality

You have to pay to park now ($10) , but on Sunday nights it's worth it when you get inside. Atlanta Staple

I had tons of fun at this place Service was good Music was amazing! I had some nachos at the snack stand and the cheese was nice and warm. Wasn't too pricey. Age average was more young kids for a Saturday night because it's teen night but it didn't bother me if anything it was more fun with the kids.

Had a party here and the customer service was horrible . The party was also rushed . They also charge for non skating adults who attend your party .
