Skate Time

Great weekend fun! Old-school vibe that transmits you. The food is unexpectedly delicious and the service is good and professional. Shout-out to the DJ who was spot on delivering sounds of joy. Keep it up keep it real!

I’ve been to Skate Time multiple times, and it’s easily one of my favorite skating spots in NY! The floor is beautiful and smooth, and even when it’s busy, there’s plenty of space to skate comfortably. The menu keeps evolving, and everything is healthy, natural, and absolutely delicious—especially their legendary ranch sauce, which you can only get here. The staff are incredibly kind and genuinely try to connect with every skater, creating such a welcoming vibe. The skating community here is amazing too—everyone is supportive, motivating, and eager to help you improve your skills. Skate Time is more than just a rink; it’s a true NYC staple. Highly recommend!

Honestly, Skate Time is one of my favorite rinks in the country (and I travel A LOT). The vibes are amazing, the DJs are talented and always play the perfect music to skate to. The food is varied and delicious. Adult nights are my favorite! Plenty of talented skaters to learn from but not overcrowded. So fun! Not to mention, fairly priced. LOVE!

Skate Time is my favorite place. The floor is beautiful and very well maintained. The staff are friendly, supportive, and genuinely good people who cater to an extremely wide range of skate expectations. A roster of DJ's keep the music interesting and skate-relevant. Skate Time's food is far better than any other rink I've ever visited with options for everyone. The diverse community of skaters who drop in every week or who show up to special events are generous with their teaching and are so much fun to skate with. There aren't many places where people of such mixed age and experience can have a great time together. I hosted my 40th birthday at Skate Time this summer and every one of my guests had a fantastic time-- seasoned skaters and noobs alike. In addition, Skate Time is incredibly supportive, generous and accommodating of school fundraisers. My child had a school event hosted at Skate Time that was fun for parents and children while raising funds for the school. Skate time is a generous contributor to good causes in the area, hosting food drives, donating to fundraisers-- so much more than just a fun place to skate!

The overall experience was good. We had three adults and two kids. For some reason, they make people that aren't skating pay as well. They call it a chaperone fee, but we had one adult skating so I don't understand why they would charge the other two adults as well. So the pricing was not great, the atmosphere was nice.It was clean, the food was good.Also a little pricey. Bathrooms were spotless.

We’ve had a great time at 209 Skate Time in the past—it’s a fun place we’ve enjoyed a few times with family and friends. My son really wanted to go skating this weekend, so we came by on Saturday evening. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize it was adults-only skate time, which means they don’t put out the skate assist bars for kids. That wasn’t mentioned when we entered, and I didn’t see any signs noting this policy. We purchased admission and rentals, and only after putting on our skates did we learn from the very kind woman at the rental desk that the assist bars aren’t available during adult hours. Totally understandable—so we returned the skates (unused) and told the front desk we’d come back the next day instead. That’s where we ran into an issue. Even though we were only inside for about 5 minutes and didn’t use the facility, we were told we’d have to pay admission again to come back Sunday. The staff did give us a voucher for our rentals after asking a couple times, but they wouldn’t allow us to reuse our admission or come back the next day without paying again. I also asked to speak to a manager or owner but was told no one was available or reachable. As a business owner myself, this policy seems a bit rigid—especially when no services were used, and the reason for leaving was simply a misunderstanding about availability of equipment for kids. We still love the place and will likely return, but I hope the management might consider offering more flexibility or clearer communication around policies like this. A small gesture of understanding here would have gone a long way.

Roll On, Skate Time — You’ve Stolen My Heart! 🛼 Let me tell you: as someone who lives and breathes skating, Skate Time in is hands-down one of the coolest rinks I’ve ever rolled into. I’ve been to plenty of rinks, but rarely have I encountered a crew so energetic, helpful, and genuinely stoked to see you skate. Whether you’re fumbling with your laces, swapping wheels, or just looking for tips on rhythm skating, the staff are right there — cheering you on, offering pointers, or just high‑fiving when you nail that spin. They’re not distant employees — they’re your skating hype squad. DJ Game Strong + Themed Events That Slay!. Skate Time doesn’t just throw on a generic playlist — they bring vibe curators. DJ nights are epic: disco, today’s jams, throwbacks, house — they weave it all into one flow that keeps you moving. What’s especially magical is how Skate Time balances its wild, party‑skate side with being completely inviting to families, small kids, and older skaters too. You’ll see toddlers next to seasoned jam skaters hitting combos. The social feel is real — parents chatting while their kids glide, older skaters mentoring newcomers, folks gathering in the party area between sets. It never feels cliquey. It feels like community on wheels. If you love skating, or even if you're just curious, Skate Time is where you want to roll. It’s electric, it’s friendly, and it’s alive with rhythm and warmth. Whether you’re there for a wild DJ night or a mellow family skate, trust me — this place gets into your bones. You’ll want to come back week after week!

Skate time is one of the last rinks in the north east that I am able to drive to consistently and it is a life saver for myself and many other frequent skaters. The rink is very clean and the community is very beginner friendly. If you are looking for a great place to hang out in a group or if you’re a solo skater looking to explore a new hobby. This is the place to be!
