So glad we finally have an online skating place. The owners are welcoming and awesome. Such wonderful levels of hospitality. It's much bigger than what it looks like on the outside. Can't wait to come back for some more skating fun!
Great hangout for people of all ages! The staff is very friendly and accommodating for customer needs. It's about time a family friendly skating rink came to the Alton, IL area! Love the atmosphere, and I always have a blast every time I go up to skate! Highly recommended for birthday parties or a night out with your friends!
I brought my family down for the weekend to come to Riverbend Skate and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere was great and there was lots to do. I will be back very soon. If you are in the surrounding areas this is a great place for good fun with good church people.
Great atmosphere for families. Very friendly and helpful staff with great hospitality! We will be returning! My children myself and nephews had a great time!
The grand opening for this facility was in May I believe. So open about 2 months. Tonight was our first time there. Upon entering we were greeted by incredibly friendly staff. Behind the register was a game room, pool table, bounce house, couple claw machines, shooter game, and a pool table. You cannot see the skating area upon entering. To the left you get your skates. Roller blades are not available. A handful of lockers are available, otherwise you can leave your shoes on the very large shelf in the game area. They also have drinks and snacks available that are very inexpensive. The cost for entry is 5. The cost to rent skates is 3. I’ll reiterate that my expectation was a new facility, as they have only been open a couple months. That was not the case here. The skates are heavily used. I did not pass judgement, it’s whatever. Entering the skating area was a bit of a let down. Instead of a finished wood floor (as expected), there was uneven concrete. It was also very small in comparison to any skating rink I’ve been to. There was about 15 people on the skating floor and it got very hot and crowded quickly. We spent an hour there and did have a lot of fun, despite the floor condition. A couple of things that would make the experience more enjoyable. First, 8 per person feels a little high considering the condition of the place. It cost 42.50 for all 5 of us and felt pretty high for an hour. I cannot say if we would have left if we saw the skating area first, but at least we wouldn’t have been surprised. Second, a finished floor suitable for skating. I will continue to support this place, as it has a ton of potential. The staff is amazing, all of the patrons seemed to get along well, and no issues what so ever. A finished floor will earn a 5 star rating.
I was very disappointed. My friends and I thought it would be fun to enjoy a night out skating and was excited to have a new "skating rink" in town. I read online that there would be an arcade, rock wall climb with foam pit and a big skating rink. When we walked in there were only a few arcade games, defiantly would not consider it an arcade. The rock wall was so small that toddlers probable would not have fun with it. There was only one inflatable. Last but not least the "skating floor" was not even a skating rink. It was CONCRETE flooring with two beams right in the middle. The concrete flooring was not smooth at all. We decided to exit the floor and go to the concessions where there was a drop off that I did not see and I fell extremely hard on to the concrete flooring and hurt my back pretty bad. We ended up leaving about 10 mins later. The owner did not seem to worried about it because we had already signed a waiver. Which we should of left when we found out we had to sign a waiver because why should anyone have to sign a waiver to skate??? My friends and I are all 21 and older and are very good at skating so my fall was not because I could not skate, but because there was not anything stating that there was a drop off when exiting the rink to go into the concessions. As far as the actual interior. The bathrooms were filthy, the walls were not painted all the way. It looked really gross all over. The music they were playing was NOT family friendly and there was a lot of little kids there. Overall I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. It is not safe for children and not worth the money or time. I predict this place will not be open for much longer.
Happy to see a place like this open in the Alton area. Children and adults of all ages were out skating and enjoying themselves. Good tunes from the DJ, super friendly staff and employees! Keep up the great work!
