Moonlight Rollerway

This place is awesome! Prices are very reasonable, and once you pay for admission you’re free to stay until the place closes for that day. One of the staff said there is no corporate involved, which explains why everyone is so friendly (I guess it’s still family owned). You also get a good workout in! The retro vibe is also amazing; everyone these days is trying to be modern and go for “the next best thing,” while this place doesn’t change a thing. 5/5.

The parking is pretty dire, but I don’t know why the reviews are so low. It was an amazing wholesome experience. Several reviews and the website says you have to buy tickets in advance online. This wasn’t the case. People were buying tickets at the door. It was packed with people, but, somehow, the staff was keeping things under control.

I love this place! I had a great experience. I took the adult beginner class on a Tuesday night. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The ticket includes the public session from 8pm to 11pm as well. Place looks iconic with a 60's retro vibe, but like if you were feeling that if you were in the 90's. Music is a mix of moods, but they have themed nights, which I will definitely check out. Thank you for being there!

Went to their 90s pop night which was an absolute blast! Was so neat to see folks of all ages and skill levels enjoying skating. Admission was $25 at the door (I brought my own rollerblades though they have roller skates available for rent, no rollerblades for rent) They have lockers for 50 cents. Concession stand and small game section are also there. Will definitely come back!

We went with another couple on a Friday night. It was R&B themed and way more popular than I expected! I had not been rollerskating since I was in elementary school, so I was scared of falling. As soon as we started skating, it was just muscle memory! I had the best time. I was surprised at how much fun skating is. Now I remember 😁 It was a fun date. There is a snack bar with drinks, water, corn dogs. Etc.

A fun throwback place for roller skating! The rink feels old-school but well-maintained. Music is upbeat and the crowd’s friendly. It’s great for groups or date nights. Bring your own skates if you can — rentals are okay but worn.

Although it was a little far from my place, I still think it’s a must-do fun in LA. Moonlight Rollerway is a retro gem that transports you back to the golden age of roller skating. The rink’s vintage charm, complete with a disco ball and classic music, creates a fun and nostalgic atmosphere perfect for all ages.

This rink inspires childhood core memories to fun times in my 20s to now sharing it with my kids as I enter my "older" years. It may be nostalgia speaking, but I love this place. It's kitschy and charming. Having been to a newer (early 2000s) rink recently, Moonlight is cleaner, smells better, plays a great mix of music, attentive staff and a beautiful wooden floor. Take note that skating and all it entails (locker rental, snacks, skate rentals, etc) is not cheap so this is a special treat for us, not a regular occurrence. Also note parking is very scarce here. You can't bring in your own water bottles unless they're empty and Moonlight will charge you a small fee for water.

Amazing throwback roller rink in Glendale! Snack bar 3/5. Pizza was dried out under heat lamp lol. Hot dog surprisingly solid. The staff are super helpful and friendly. $25 entry at the door ($23 online), and $8 for rentals. Always a good time.

Rude staff with attitude. Yes, perhaps they hate their jobs, but no need to be arrogant with paying customers who want their kids to have a great time. Super expensive for parties (2.5 hrs) -- equaling about $50/head with very average food; an example of extortion is charging $7.50 for a pitcher of tap water. Automatic 18% gratuity for what service?! Someone, please, open another skating rink to give them some competition. They've monopolized a 30 mile radius/vicinity so they do not care about having good service. Total rip-off. Avoid if you can.

This location is very comfortable because it's monopolized roller skating in its area. There are no competing roller skating rinks to visit if you don't like this one, so for families with kids that need something to do, or if you have a passion for roller skating and want to pursue your hobby on a proper rink-- this is the only place you have to visit. This location is run like an airport. You cannot bring your own water, drinks, or food. They charge you fifty cents to refill a water bottle just to have water, since you can't bring your own. That may seem like a small amount, but with hundreds of visitors being charged for water multiple times during a physically taxing activity, where you have to wait in line to get it, it's a lot. They have lockers for your items, but you are charged EVERY TIME you open and close the locker. If you're a parent who doesn't want to roller skate, but wants to support their children and watch, you are charged five dollars each. Everything about this rink is designed to drain you of your money, and to provide nothing back for it. The AC system isn't adequate-- the place constantly feels stuffy, wet, and moist with sweat from many bodies. It's constantly hot, and the ventilation systems must be breathing their last dying breathes. The entire facility is old. Ancient. All of the excess money that this rink makes is most certainly pocketed by someone, but it's not put back into the facility aside from basic upkeep. This rollerskating rink is not for you if you're on a budget. You can't come here regularly unless you want to burn through your wallet. That being said, if you can't stand rollerskating on the street or in your local sidewalks, this is a functional rollerskating rink. I'm not giving it a one star because it's not literally falling apart at the seams, so you can actually use it. The surfaces are clean enough, and kids have the privilege of looking past the costs and having fun. They do lights, games, and hold lessons. They've got special trainer equipment for people who're learning (each is eight dollars because everything here is charged), and rental skates of every size for every foot (also eight dollars each). Aside from overcrowding and the absurd expense-- it can be fun.

THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR BLACK SKATERS For anyone reading please please please save your money if you're a black and or experienced skater. This has to be one of the most disgusting and discriminatory experiences I've had at an establishment. Like many other reviews on here say, the staff are extremely rude, aggressive, and very nasty towards minority skaters. In all my 3 years going here I, as well as fellow black skaters that I know, get harassed often for simply skating at a higher level than other people there and targeted in hopes to get negative reactions out of me. The last time I was here an older floor guard cut me off and swerved into me multiple times telling me I had to slow down despite me going at a safe skating speed. When I didn't comply he got extremely close up in my face and made me very uncomfortable each time he violated my personal space. He even caused a small child behind him to fall over and nearly hit his head and insisted on antagonizing me instead of helping the child up. When I raised my voice and told him to get away from me he alerted the manager and tried to physically remove me off the rink and started breathing heavy and sticking his chest out in an attempt to provoke me further. Other staff members threatened to call the cops on me and told me I need to leave despite me getting harassed non-stop by a power aggressive and most likely racist staff member. They also added me to a black list and have banned me and several other black skaters from ever entering their establishment. The staff here will do anything possible to disturb and harass black skaters in an attempt to create hostile situations to get people banned. IT IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR ANY BLACK PERSON. Don't get me started on their hygiene practices. NONE of the rental skates are ever sterilized and the only thing they do is take a cheap air-freshener can and do a quick two second spray inside the skates. You will get athletes foot or worse by wearing their disgusting and unclean rental skates! Their cultural events are lack luster and they play the most generic and basic music for different themed events for the minorities they don't like: blacks and latinos. I even overheard one older white staff member commenting on how he doesn't really like "Our type of music" and that they should "Just play something else and turn that off". Listen to the other reviews, save your money, and DO NOT give this place your business if you're a black and or experienced skater. You will be targeted and preyed upon by racist, aggressive, and miserable staff members who are far too old to be this unprofessional and discriminatory.

SO FUN! Really great activity any time, but especially when it's a little too warm to exercise outside. The music was grooving, the people were moving, and I felt like I got a little workout! The only issue here is parking: there is a small lot but it really is small and fills up quickly, and there are a lot of limitations on street parking in the surrounding areas. I wish I knew enough to recommend some alternative options but hopefully others do!

THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE!!! Please listen to the other reviews and stay away from this business especially if you are black or have a child with Autism. The staff was so rude to everyone at our party. Then another staff yelled at my Autistic toddler for touching the coin machine. One of the kids in our party who was 8 years old accidentally went outside and was told she couldn't come back in even when she was paid for. A child should never be forced to separated from her party, that a safety hazard! Save your money and go somewhere else that is minority and disability friendly

Moonlight was very fun! Had around 22 guest come join me on Sunday from 8-11pm and it was an absolutely perfect night. Highly recommend coming during one of their night sessions as it's a great experience for adults. 23-25 dollars for ticket plus 8 dollars for skates was worth it for the fun! I do know the staff is strict but just follow the rules and be respectful and you'll get that back.

Pros: -Retro vibes -Good music -Fun for all ages -LGBTQ friendly Cons: -Pricey -Limited Parking -No outside food or drinks allowed -No coming in & out -Snack bar was not appetizing All in all my kid had fun. I didn't like being charged for skates I didn't want because I was only watching her skate from the sides with my 6 month old but it is what it is. Spent about $60 just to get through the door $25 x 2 admission + $8 skates for myself since we brought hers from home. Sort of worth it for a unique outing I guess?

Really sucks that roller rinks are no longer common and we get stuck with an establishment as horrible as this one. They are very rude and definitely not an honest company. They made my wife empty her water bottle before coming in, which would've been fine, except they then charged 50 cent to fill the bottle. Interested that in CA it's illegal to charge for tap water when you serve food yet this place does it. Of course we just paid, didn't want to argue but come on. I wish we read the reviews before going because all the 1 star reviews seem to be 100% correct. Lady at front working was very rude with us when we first got there and we were there to celebrate with my niece. They tried charging full price for a few people in our family that cannot even skate and we're going to a spectators. After going back-and-forth with them because we had called First and they told us on the phone that spectators were OK, they finally very rudely told my sister fine they can come in for that price but only this time. First and sadly a last for me. Can't believe they stay open this much if this is how they treat customers.

Went with a group tonight on a whim and had a great time! The staff were super friendly, lockers were .50, good music and everyone skating was supportive and helpful. My group was full of all newbies and we all really enjoyed it; but we will be sore tomorrow. I'd imagine on weekends it gets a little crazy but we came Thursday night and felt like it was comfortable and we had plenty of room and still got to watch some really good skaters.

I took my Son Roller Skating for his very first time. I didn't know there was a rink still open in SoCal. The facility is in perfect condition and the staff was very nice. I don't understand why other people left bad reviews. Definitely 5 stars lots of fun for kids & families.

Guess this is the only existing roller rink in Southern California? I honestly haven't been roller skating since high school. You have to pay for entrance even if you're not skating. Our friend decided to opt out of skating and had to pay the $18 entrance, which is not ideal but I get it. But if you're a parent and your kid is skating you can pay $5. Rentals were about $10. This was what I remembered in high school except more little kids with these skating assistant rollers that frankly seem like more of a hazard. Overall this is a cool spot. The parking lot is tiny so if you're not lucky enough to get a spot, you have to find street parking.

This place is awesome! Prices are very reasonable, and once you pay for admission you're free to stay until the place closes for that day. One of the staff said there is no corporate involved, which explains why everyone is so friendly (I guess it's still family owned). You also get a good workout in! The retro vibe is also amazing; everyone these days is trying to be modern and go for "the next best thing," while this place doesn't change a thing. 5/5.

I would give 0 stars if possible. We came to Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale to celebrate my daughter's 8th birthday with about 20 guests (half weren't even skating). I had already spent over $300 for admission, but the manager refused to let my daughter open her gifts inside unless I purchased their "birthday package," which essentially amounted to nothing more than a table and a pitcher of water. I was forced to pay an additional $200 just for the "privilege" of using a table indoors so my daughter wouldn't have to open her presents outside in 100-degree heat. This place also has an endless list of unnecessary rules. They don't allow any outside water (even for elderly guests on a hot day), they wouldn't let us bring in goodie bags or desserts I had prepared, and at one point I wasn't even allowed to step outside to grab socks from the car for my child without making a scene. By the time we were finally allowed to use a table, all of the desserts I had prepared were melted and inedible. The staff was unfriendly from the start, and the manager in particular was extremely rude -- even speaking down to their own employees. For the amount of money spent, I expected at least basic hospitality and reasonable accommodations, but instead we were nickel-and-dimed and treated poorly. If you're considering celebrating a birthday here, think twice. This place cares more about enforcing strict rules and squeezing extra money out of families than creating a welcoming experience for kids.

We are lucky to still have a roller rink nearby. This roller rink is like a blast from the past! Such a fun way to spend your weekend.

Not many more roller skating rings around, it was nice to see one from the 50's still around. I'm definitely impressed by vintage style and originality and Moonlight had it all. Ownership definitely has a big part and they're great at it, a very friendly staff and good service. We attended my nieces 13th birthday, it was a private event so the whole place was to ourselves. Everything was great, a little warm inside so maybe pick a time when it's not so hot. Give them a shot if you haven't already.

The rink was so much fun and a great atmosphere - brings you right back to your childhood!

I'm deeply disappointed in how this place is managed. The manger on shift was unnecessarily hostile about every aspect of the birthday party we were attending. I would definitely not recommend. It was also overcrowded and EXTREMELY hot inside.

DO NOT come here -- especially if you value professionalism and basic human decency. I came for a child's birthday party, and while skating, I took a serious fall and hit the back of my head. The skates I was given kept sticking and stopping unexpectedly, which is what caused the fall. Two friends came to help me, and a few people nearby offered words of comfort, concerned I might have a concussion due to how hard the impact was. As I walked toward the entrance to find the birthday child's parent -- who had stepped out to take gifts to the car -- an older woman in a dashiki suddenly began yelling at me. I was still disoriented and had no idea she even worked there. She had apparently been yelling for a while, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. I calmly explained that I had paid and had just taken a hard fall. Her response? "Well, go on then." Go on where? I wasn't about to walk back into a space where I was being shouted at while still physically shaken. Mind you, I had seen other people coming in and out, so I assumed that was allowed. That made her outburst even more confusing. My family came over, trying to understand what was going on. I was still trying to de-escalate the situation, but the calmer I was, the more aggressive she became. Then she said, "I didn't say you didn't pay." So... what was all the yelling for? Later, several people from our group shared that they too had been yelled at by the same woman. It was unbelievable how many of us had the same story. And yes -- we were all people of color. I called to speak with a manager afterward and got someone who wasn't one. She said she couldn't do anything because the woman had worked there a long time, was a senior citizen, and held the same position as her. She went on and on until I finally said, "I'm older, my house burned down in the LA fires, and I may have a concussion -- so what are we doing here?" We will never return, and I strongly urge others to avoid this place. Poor equipment, aggressive staff, and no accountability -- this is not a place I'd recommend for any family event.

Rude staff, disguising bathrooms, awful ventilation, no parking and nickel and dimed every possible thing. Never going again.

We dropped our husband's at a nearby brewery and us ladies hit the rink. The parking lot is small but there is plenty of street parking and it's well lit. We arrived shortly before 8pm and purchased our tickets for 22.50, which are also available to purchase ahead of time online. Rental skates are 8.00 and my friends say they were pretty comfortable. You may also bring your own, as I do and just need to show the staff that they haven't been altered in any way. It was throw back Thursday and the music was fun and the crowd was a mix. There were the beginners, to the ones who thought they were in a million dollar competition. Overall, it was a great blast from the past and everyone is helpful and friendly. The snack bar had icees , hot dogs , drinks and 4.00 water bottles. The items are a bit overpriced, but they don't allow you to exit and return, nor do they allow drinks or food to be brought inside. The rink was clean, as well as the restroom and we all had a great time and will definitely be back for another night of roller skating.

Big compliments for the Michael Jackson skate last night! It was certainly a successful night for fun and we all left happy. This was my first time to visit this roller rink; nice smooth wooden floor and that fun retro vibe that takes me back to my youth. I see many music themes nights listed from back when I was a kid. I wish I lived closer! For anyone traveling in, it is an easy find from I-5. I had no trouble finding this place and then getting back onto the interstate. I am particularly pleased with the order they played the MJ songs. It is for that reason especially I want to give 5 stars for last night. I was traveling in from quite a ways out, the late evening session hours are perfect, but with unpredictable traffic I was still 30 minutes late to get into the right vicinity, another 15 to find street parking and then another 15 to walk to the rink, stand in line, and get my skates on. So yes, that first hour shot and I was very worried I'd missed "Beat It" - Lol. But NOPE!!! I swear they saved all the best 80s hits for the latter half of the session: THANK YOU!! It wasn't until probably the mid point we got Beat It, and around the same time came Billie Jean, and then later Smooth Criminal, Black or White, Bad, Wanna Be Startin' Something and the last one: Thriller!! By that time, everyone was there and rocking out. Some had already taken their skates off for Thriller but they were still dancing around in the seating area. For me, this was well worth the trip! Fun energy, great exercise!!

LOVE IT HERE, but the music needs an update! I went to the all adult night and had an absolute blast I've been here multiple times and always enjoy it. But the music is not the best. I recently came here on Adult night they were catering more to the older meaning over 55 crowd, playing music mostly from the 60s. I would have loved to hear some 2000s or more recent R&B and hip hop to really keep the energy going! I bought my child several times during kids night. She really wants to hear some Tate McRae, Olivia, Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, BLACKPINK, BTS, ETC....They should hire a real Dj or read the room. I love this place overall, the staff's amazing everyone is really nice and helpful. I'm just hoping they can improve the music selection to make it even better. P.S. You can buy tickets online or in person, but I definitely recommend checking their website first since they have different themes and age restrictions on certain nights. Prices usually range from $18-$25 per person. You can bring your own skates or rent theirs. I suggest bringing $0.50 for a locker rental and wearing a pouch instead of a purse (purses aren't allowed on the floor). Also, no outside food or drinks are allowed. They have food and water inside to purchase. They also have a Photo Booth that's pretty fun.

$38 each kid for lessons, no problem. $5 for the parent to watch, ok! You can't bring your coffee inside because they want to sell you their instant stuff, come on!!!!

We went during the weekend from 1-4 for the special skating hours , and let me tell you the vibe and music were AMAZING, the food is standard carnival / movie theater level food, which is overpriced but that's expected. The main downside is that yes, although the rink is open to all ages, a lot of people let their kids roam free and wild. People were falling over these kids or swerving and falling anyways to avoid hitting these kids. The kids more often then not would go sit in the corner or just stop in the middle of the rink. No one did anything to help them or try helping them until we did. Multiple people fell in the 3 hours we were there, our party was around 20 people and three of us fell because of these children running amuck.

PROS: Stepping into this space is like a delightful trip back in time. It's beautifully vintage, clean, and perfectly nostalgic. The music during open skate sessions is spot on and adds to the great atmosphere. My kids absolutely love it, which makes it extra special since I grew up loving the skating rink myself. Now, we get to enjoy it together as a family. CONS: After attending several kids' classes and public skate sessions, I've noticed some areas where the experience could be improved. The front office staff can come across as less than welcoming at times, which can dampen the otherwise fun vibe. Some of the rules feel a bit restrictive, like not being able to leave and re-enter or requiring water bottles to be empty so you can pay to refill them. While the space is wonderful, the pricing structure can feel excessive. For example, there's a spectator fee for grandparents or non-skating family members, and even small charges like $0.50 for a water refill can add up quickly. It would be great if these policies were reconsidered to make the experience feel more inclusive and family-friendly. For parents budgeting for a class, plan on these costs: class fee ($38) + skate rental ($8) + spectator fee ($5 per person, including non-skating family) + optional skate aid ($8), and if you'd like to skate with your child after, public skate admission ($16 per person) + skate rental ($8). Parking can also be a bit tricky, especially during busy times like birthday parties. This rink has so much potential to be an even more beloved community spot, and I hope they take some steps to enhance the overall experience.

1000% NOT recommended for a private party. (at least not for a kid's birthday party) It's a cool venue. Go there to skate on a random night. But don't celebrate a special moment in your life there. You'll walk away with the memory of disappointment and regret when you should have had just the best time. -it's only a 2 hour long party. i knew this going in - but now, after the fact, I can let others know that, that is not long enough. you have to account for the time it takes for people to arrive, kids to get their skates on, and get used to skating. That's 30-45 mins - in and of itself. Then you have to consider eating, cake, and possibly games. That takes up another 45 mins. Before you know it, the kids barely had 30 mins to just skate. It definitely felt rushed and was not worth the $1500 price. Find an establishment that offers at least 3 hours. An extra hour would have made a world of difference. -we were the first party of the day (10 am - noon) and they somehow ran out of pizza. I pre-ordered beverages for the tables and they were not provided. -you only get 15 mins prior to the party to set up. All I had were a handful of table covers and centerpieces and 3 other adults helping me. We still didn't have enough time. if you like to make your events special - this is not the venue for it. -they also just limit your decor options completely anyway. you can barely bring any decor other than table things. Again - if you like your events to be special and decorated, this is not the venue for you. -the $1500 only covers 50 guests. that includes adults, kids, skaters, & people just watching. if you see how large the space is, it feels ridiculous that they wouldn't allow more people to be covered under that price point. It felt empty and I turned a lot of people away who were trying to RSVP because they charge an add'l $30/person. -they nickel and dime for everything - one example is these little skate mate bars the kids hold on to ($8/skate mate) -the customer service was disappointing. they made me feel like i was bothering them by being there. even leading up to the party all of the emails felt very "here's what you CAN'T do". I don't think they enjoy people having parties at their facility.

This was my first time roller skating in 10+ years! I'm not a skater by any means. However, it ended up being really fun for me. The reason for 3 stars are mostly logistics. The parking situation is tough. They have a small lot. You can't park at Home Depot because they will tow you. The rink has resorted to double parking. They will call out your car model & license plate over the speakers if you need to move your car. There are some free street parking spots, but it's a bit sketchy area. You can't buy tickets at the door for nighttime skating. They use EventBrite, which charges like a $2 fee. There is a chance that the tickets will sell out. There are 2-3 waivers you have to sign when you buy your ticket online. I paid $21 for 3 hours (8PM-11PM). You cannot leave the building (like to grab something from your car) and come back in. No re-entry. Skate rentals are separate, as in it's not on EventBrite. You have to pay $7 for it at the door. They give you a small receipt, which you give to the skates guys. The vending machine that has water is broken. It will decline your credit card but eat your cash. The staff was nice enough to give us the water that we paid for, but it seems like it was common enough for them to understand. Highly recommend bringing your own water! There are other vending machines with some snacks if you don't want to wait in line for things like popcorn or hot dogs. Lockers cost 50 cents every time you close or open it. If you ever need to grab something out of it, like water, you need 2 more quarters. They do have a change machine, so if you don't have quarters, they will accept $1, $5, and $10 bills. What I thought was nice was that the skating seemed structured. They change the direction 3-4 times. The music is loud and good variety from the last 5-7 decades. There are a few staff members who skate around and blow their whistle if they see people not following rules, like if they're not moving in the rink. There was a guy who was injured, and they made everyone stop and wait by the walls. The staff helped the guy get up and out of the rink. It seemed pretty responsible. I hope they were able to help him.

Haven't put on a pair of skates since I was in my 20's so I decided in honor of turning 40 this was something I wanted to do! Myself husband, daughter and myself went on a Saturday afternoon during open skate. Admission and skates for the 3 of us was $75 which was a bit steep in my opinion but oh man did we have a fricken great time! Definitely a busy time so I would recommend if you're not a fan of crowds come midweek or earlier in the day. I think I might have fallen back in love with skating. It was like I never stopped. The rink has a great nostalgic look and feel! The music selection was perfect! A great mix of old, new and a variety of genres. Staff was way nice. Would love to see the bathrooms remodeled but they were at least clean. We didn't get a locker...just put our sneakers in some cubbies. Great rainy day activity and incredibly family friendly especially with little ones. Will definitely be back!

I remember going to places like these back in the 90s, and for me the nostalgia easily had me smiling from ear to ear. Unfortunately, getting in was half the battle. Parking took about 15 minutes going in and out of the small private lot in vain and then checking around the block. Eventually we got lucky and found street parking across from The Home Depot. Don't give up! As you would probably expect, there are plenty of groups celebrating birthdays with pizzas and ice cream in between being on wheels, so for a Saturday afternoon this place was packed. Birthday shoutouts were cranked out with some of I think three renditions of the birthday song while the birthday person gets to be center stage. Little first-timers holding onto their grownups for dear life. PVC pipe constructed support rollers providing a false sense of stability. Seasoned pros doing tricks and providing tips and encouragement. With all that said, you're bound to see collisions and near misses. Perhaps that's the other half of the battle. One note about the lockers, which the staff were apologetic about and gave us our 50 cents back when the slot got jammed and proceeded to find us another locker. The folks do the best they can with preserving the feel of those bygone days. A fun lo-tech way to spend the day.

Loved this place as a kid but now they nickel and dime you and have made zero improvements since the 90s. They wont let you buy the spectator ticket to join a birthday party if you don't have a kid. Even if you show up towards the end of their open hours with the cake... make it make sense?

What a roller rink! I loveeeee this place!!! The entrance is SO eye catching. I feel like it really gets you excited for what's-to-come. We have been here 5x now... a few regular nights and once for queer night and for Disney night! I like a lot of things about this place. I will ROLL on into the pros and cons :) PROS: GREAT MUSIC If you bring your skates, you can go in first Parking lot WOOOO (unusual for anything LA, OBV) Games! Photo Booth! Snack Bar! Kind / helpful staff GOOD PRICES for skating QUEER night! (means a lot to the LGBTQIA+ community) SMOOTH rink floor CUTE carpet and lovely lights / colors on ceiling / decor is on point! Good workout! Roller skating rocks!!! CONS: Gets crowded - unfortunately it can seem like too much for the size of the rink. Photo Booth works 50% of the time Parking lot fills up FAST They should not have anyone "practicing tricks or speed skating" ... it doesn't make it fun for everyone else so would appreciate if staff could regulate this more. Overall, I get very excited each time to go skating and cannot wait to many more evenings at Moonlight Rollerway!

Moonlight Rollerway, I want to love you. I want to gush over the fun and the nostalgia and the good times. I grew up skating. The roller rink was a routine part of my teenage years. It was fun and cool and sweet. It was a place with good music, where young romances bloomed and friends got to show off their balance and skill. And I understand by saying all that I'm proving I'm an old stoggy fart because we went with a group of mostly 30 somethings and for several of them it was the first time they'd ever stepped foot in a roller rink. So you might imagine my disappointment when we stepped inside and one of my first thoughts was, "Dang, it's hot in here". And we laced up and rolled onto the floor and the temperature began to rise. And within an hour or so my shirt's plastered to my body and I could really use some water and I discover that they sell water but don't have a drinking fountain. And my feet are a little sore from a motion that I'm not accustomed to but I quickly realize that it's really hot on the rink floor but at least you're moving. In the area with tables and benches, there's almost no air flow, so it's unbearably, suffocatingly hot. And the choice becomes, continue to exercise or suffer in the heat!! It's a horrible choice!! I continued to exercise for the next hour or more, until the blister developing on my heel forced me to stop. And at that point, the newbies in the group were still polite about it, but it was clear they'd had enough and were likely never driving 20 miles and paying $25 to swelter in another roller rink. The bathrooms made me smile. They were like stepping into a time warp. And I loved that the DJ played requests, but the heat and the mediocre music and the price all mean that even as an enthusiastic, old, stoggy fan of roller rinks, I'll probably never come back.

I am a competitive roller skater and I skated at moonlight roller way for 2 years,it's where I learned to skate and where I started my skating journey.Everything was going great until out of the blue the owners made an announcement. "We are firing all of our coaches there will no longer be a skate team" I was so upset.I couldn't skate for weeks it broke my heart.But then me,my mom,and my coach found a place.And now I have a team,my original coach and the new place is the opposite of moonlight.My new rink is relaxing,outdoors,the owner is so nice,and we are much happier here.I still go to moonlight for events but other wise I try not to go because of what happened to me.

Old school roller skating fun. It's literally out of 1985. The smell, the skates, and the vibe of the place remind me of being 11 or 12. We had a blast, but then again, I skated a lot when I was young. The parking is not so great at night, however. Be ready to park in some questionable allies or have to walk a lot. Also - water is a fortune there and the lockers only take quarters. So pretend like it's 30 years ago and go have a blast.

I am surprised to see the negative reviews of Moonlight. Yes, it is a pricey activity. But hey... they are still OPEN, and I don't think there are literally any other roller rinks in Los Angeles that still are, so keep that in mind when looking at the prices. You are paying to keep a niche business that we all love open. My daughter started classes here a few years ago after Skateland in Northridge closed. She recently just started taking private lessons from one of their coaches too. They do special shows a couple of times a year where the students showcase what they are learning in lessons. It creates a fun, special community. Moonlight is super LGBTQ friendly. I've gone with my daughter to Rainbow Skate on Wednesday nights, and it is like an all ages LGBT dance club, on wheels, with no alcohol. It is a perfect, healthy environment for queer teens. Coach Jeff has been a godsend. He is kind and understanding and his choreography is fantastic. Yes, they do charge a $5 spectator cost if you come to watch your kids' lessons, but that keeps it from being too crowded. If its nice weather, I'll sometimes just sit in my car and wait, but if it is too hot outside, I will just pay it, and really, it's not that much to pay to sit and do some work while she takes her lesson. I'd spend more on a latte if I waited at Starbucks. Some complaints seem to be about their strict policies regarding wheels and no ins and outs and stuff. They do that to protect the skate floor. They take skating seriously. This is a great place to go if you take skating seriously.

Roller skating is fun! Unless the venue doesn't provide air conditioning on a 90 degree day and does not allow water bottles in and charges $4 per water bottle when you can get a whole case for that price at the market! It was cooler outside than in the stuffy rink and even though we spent hundreds of dollars for a birthday party they charged $8 per refill for our guests to have water! Be very cautious when coming here as you might overheat and be dehydrated if you can't afford water. They do not have a water fountain nor anyway to get water except in a merchandise cup you must purchase. Good luck!

Not many roller skating rinks are around anymore, and even though the parking lot was small, entrance fee was pretty high for not including rentals, and no beer was available....I enjoyed this place so much! Throwback Thursday's is where it's at. So many oldies played that made the vibe of this place even better. We honestly thought it would just be families, but it was friends, people with unbelievable skate talent, and so much more. I also love how they switched it up every now and then by doing a couples skate or changing the direction of the flow. Make sure you come here for a good time, support this local establishment, and bring on your skate!

Super fun place to skate if you're a casual skater! Came here for a friend's birthday celebration and we had a blast. I'm giving it 4 stars due to the price and the amount of people that were there. Obviously I want everyone to enjoy roller skating but at one point the skating rink had so many people I felt like I could barely move. For the price it was $22.50 just to get in and $8 for the roller skates and personally that is a bit pricey. Even with that price though I would love to come back for another celebration in the future.

Very cool environment and a fun weekend spot to vide and skate! The entire place was pretty crowded but it made it just as fun. Make sure you bring some water!

4 stars because this place is unique and love the dedication to the vintage vibes But it ain't cheap and for that we can't really afford to go as often as we would like. Beautiful one of a kind spot

Such a fun roller rink to visit. This roller rink brings back so many childhood memories. Loved the smooth floor and pricing at this location. I brought my own skates and just had to pay a $11 am admission fee. FREE limited parking is available in the lot and on the surrounding streets. Yes, this place needs revamping and can get busy but for the pricing it's all good and no complaints on my end. This place offers secured lockers so make sure to bring some quarters with you during your visit. I also liked how we could share song requests to the DJ to play some good jams while skating out on the rink. I've been to Pigeons and this rink is 4X larger then that roller rink, snack are offered AND parking is free. It's quite a drive for me and I believe it's a pop up location so wont be around for long. SO go with Moonlight Rollerway.

This place is like time traveling to a nostalgic place in my beloved childhood memories. The music. The carpet. The lights. The snack bar. Such a fun place to skate with kiddos or on a date night. Definitely recommend!

The signage everywhere with a million rules was so uninviting. While waiting in line to get tickets for admission you have employees yelling rules at you. We were at the front buying tickets and before I could go in I was told to spit out my gum before I could go in. Mind you I am a 37 year old woman and it made me feel like I was in middle school. The whole place was gross, sticky and hot. Yuck

I'm an ice skater and costs to keep a warehouse cold is much more than a roller rink. Ice skating public is $18 and NO spectator fees!!!! Also you may bring your own food and coffee. This is a joke for roller skating where overhead isnt NEARLY as much as an ice rink. Ripping people off

We went here for my birthday and it was a blast! There aren't a lot of venues like this out there and this did not disappoint!

Do not come here. I mentioned to the older man working the rental area that my skates are new. He criticized them because they're obviously trendy and not up to classic standards as he proceeded to loosen each wheel. As I struggled making my first loop around the rink, a wheel comes off and is no where to be found. If you're loosening something that I need to balance on you need to make sure you do not loosen them to the point where I lose a wheel. This was so extremely careless and irresponsible because had I actually been going any faster I would've probably broken my head because of his action. Do not come here

Authentic and retro roller rink. Great activity for kids. The staff there are also great.

It's understandable that most things cost so much these days, so not going to complain about the cost for a day of skating here. However, there are some things that definitely need adjusting: * Water that isn't bottled should not be charged for, especially when you cannot bring in your own. * Staff was odd...I don't want to say flat out rude, but maybe low key rude? Definitely no HR department here reminding employees how to interact with the general public. * It's a million degrees in there, and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't sweat easily. If you love to skate, you'll have a good time, just be prepared for some nuances while you're there.
