Not at all happy with the experience of having my daughter's 8th birthday there. We reserved 20 kids, and they told us we'd have a double room and 2 hostesses to help the kids. As it turned out, they overbooked, only gave us a single room (VERY cramped with the kids and parents) and one hostess, but still charged us the 9.50/kid for the extra 10 kids. That extra cost doesn't cover any extra food - they still only give 2 pizzas (which is what they give for 10 kids) - and no outside food allowed - you have to buy their pizza at their marked up prices.
So what does that extra 9.50/kid cover, if not the extra room, extra hostess and extra food? Skate rentals and open skate passes - which are only $7 total to anyone who walks in off the street (for under 8 years old, which these kids were).
Aside from being over-promised, under-delivered and ripped off with the costs, did the kids have fun? Somewhat - they sold out of the "skater helpers" (extra cost) so kids who had never been skating were left out in the cold (especially since there was only 1 helper), and the ice was EXTREMELY crowded, so it was pretty intimidating for the small ones. I don't skate, but was told that the ice was pretty rough too. But, my daughter enjoyed it, b/c she knows how to skate, and was willing to help her friends, and they basically had a good time.
Overall, very unsatisfactory - will never return. Good luck to you, if you go.
