June & July 2023: Rock, Skate! Roll, Bounce! Haha! Fountain Valley Skating Center is incredibly fun & I love the inviting/community atmosphere! I was first introduced to the rink when a great friend had her birthday celebration there in June! I've been enjoying coming back ever since & I can definitely appreciate skating amongst skaters of all levels! Score!
Skate Nights: I tend to go on a week day, which is super popular, as well as on the weekend when the crowd is 21 & over! The skating rink gets really busy, so many incredible skaters & great music! The music definitely motivates how often I'm out on the floor... which is often! Great DJs!!
Atmosphere: All around great vibes! I love it! From the moment I stand in line to go in, walk through security & have my bags checked, paying to get in, as well as while renting skates, I've had great experiences; always friendly! After all, I only return to places with an atmosphere that I enjoy!
Skates, Socks & Lockers: Socks are $3. Rental Skates are $7. Lockers are .75(Bring quarters or get change!) I've been on a weekday where it's $20 & on a weekend, it was $16! Be sure to check which night, crowd & age works best for you!
Skaters & Referees: Friendly & helpful; I'm wildly grateful! Hahaha! I will admit that my first time at the skating rink, I spent most of the time watching the skaters, because it was so busy & I had not gone skating in a long time! Also, there are so many great skaters, so it was simply cool watching them skate!
Encouraging & Grateful: Skaters kept coming up to me & offering to help me get out on the floor to skate on my 1st night and eventually, I made it out there & had a blast... with the help of my newfound skate friends! I've been coming back ever since, seeing familiar faces, getting better at skating, and just loving the music! People are so willing to giving a helping hand, and I appreciate that!
Overall: Even though Fountain Valley Skating Center is nearly an hour away, it's worth every minute! Did I mention I was motivated to go out and purchase a pair of my very own skates?! Yes! I've also met a lot of really cool people who are definitely passionate about skating! Fun times, great vibes, friendly people & a variety of music?! Let's go or see shall I say...let's roll! Haha!
