Never going back again! There is NOTHING to help the children stay balanced. When we asked for something they straight up said, oh hell, we dont have those anymore we got rid of those!... it was a DISASTER and a MESS. The kiddie rink had construction equipment and this giant wooden thing with corners. I was sure to snap a picture. They most certainly do not welcome younger children like the one in Amsterdam. It was my first and my LAST time bringing my child there. Ill travel to better places. Also, they need to upgrade their stuff! The price was NOT worth the experience. I have never had their ice cream either and will never get it after seeing the managers attitude! Its rare I write a bad review unless its necessary. This is necessary.
So much fun!!!! $15 a person to skate. Huge skate floor with 2 side areas to practice and hang out. Wide range of people were there. Kids, adults, families and couples. The ice cream shop located next door is also fun and delicious be sure to try it out
I love this place.We went with a large crowd 20 of usEveryone had a great time.Rink is big and beautiful ❤️.The staff is awesome.The entire experience for me was wonderful.My first time going but definitely NOT my last.
Great time skating with the family tonight, everyone had a blast. I hadnt skated in almost 40 years, and it was like going back in time. Well be back again soon!
Terrible. Dont waste your money. This place is NOT kid/family friendly, the staff is rude, and its dirty, old, and outdated. How does a skating place not have something for children to hold and help them learn? The skates are so old and filthy they are cracking. Grown adult employees with bad attitudes and zero help.
I had so much fun. Parent please stay close to your Lil one if its their first time. Roller blades welcome
Worst experience ever. I was there for 2 minutes with 2 girls and they charged me 40$ to skate I asked them do you have help? And they reply with “go on the carpet” no help or anything I could only help them and it was horrible they were falling so much and hated it worst place ever I will never come back and who in the actual world doesn’t give 40$ back from skating for 2 minutes
My family and I really enjoy skating here. We have been coming here for years and will continue to do so!
I called to find out if strobe lights can be held off for an hour or so while my 11 year old who has absence seizures but loves to skate enjoys and I was told by an older lady that you guys cant/dont change the program ...how is it family friendly if you cant make that change?was then told maybe afternoons might t be better ...so I asked if strobe lights were played in the afternoon? She said I cant guarantee 🤔🤔🤔then tells me to call before I come so I said you mean like Im doing now? ...MANAGER! OWNER! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO WHO IS ANSWERING YOUR PHONES . THIS WASNT A TEEN ANSWERING IT WAS AN OLDER WOMAN and still no help and no clear answers.
Rollerskating is definitely something that I love to do, and Guptill’s is definitely the place for that. I love going here every week, and I definitely recommend this place to have fun. There are many great features here such as the arcade, practice rinks, and snack bar. Good way to pass the time when you’re bored.
The kids love it here but there prices for everything is outrageous. The staff is also very rude.
We didnt go roller skating. We got ice cream. It was delicious and the staff was very patient with my indecisive children.
Not too crowded, fun for all ages. Friendly staff and great exercise for all, looking to shed some extra pounds. Put on a pair of rollerskates and skate the night away! Safe environment!
I had a great time but I was not informed about the “Black Friday Weekend” such as closing at 9:30pm and I arrived at 9:00pm. I also was overheated from staking and such at around 9:15pm. As I was standing in front of the big fan in the food area, a worker saw me walk up to get some cool air and he walked up and unplugged it while giving me a dirty look. This is so petty and unprofessional.
Highly recommend........ This rink really lives up to its name for sure. I love how big the floor is. The admission is seems a bit pricey at first, but trust me folks, its worth every penny. You just CANT compare this rink to other rinks, this one is on a much higher level. Its is the best indoor rink Ive been to ever. Do wish the floor was perfectly smooth and silk like the rink I work at down in Greensboro, NC. With floor this big to maintain, its understandable why its not perfectly smooth. The cost to refinish the whole floor would definitely be about 40,000$+. Dont get me wrong, the floor is still very good to skate on for an all skate number, just not for speed skating. Speed skating is not allowed here either which is also perfectly fine with me as well since I know how it feels to be the one to tell other skaters to slow down. With that being said, if you are a speed skater who is trying to speed on the worlds largest rink, dont be surprised to never hear a speed skate number called out for you. I will definitely come here as many more times as i can. As for the owner(s) thank you so much for making this great rink possible.
Been bringing my roller derbying 7 yr old here since she was 3. Loves it! Wish there was a season pass/ticket though.
Great place. My son and his friend had a lot of fun there. There were very small children right up through older adults. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. They also have a small arcade and a snack bar.The one thing that I think could make this place even better is if they offered skating lessons. If they do I didnt see them listed anywhere.Overall very nice spacious and classic look. They even got in the Guinness book of world records as the largest indoor skating rink.
First time visiting and First time rollers skating. Its good place to date with your husband, family, friends daughter,I had a great time
Very Friendly Staff!! Clean, Spacious, Nice variety of Music suitable for all.
Had fun getting back on my skates after roughly 7 years and teaching my daughters to skate. Well be back very soon to make more memories. Very pleased with my new skate wheels too!
This place is great. We brought the children and they loved it. It brings back fond memories of childhood. Good Fun, great music and exercise, we are definitely going back!
My daughters loved their birthday party here. Everyone had a great time. Staff was friendly and took care of everything.
Big ring which was great. But no Air conditioning or update music
I told my 6 year old son I got plane tickets to visit family in New York. The first thing he asked me was Are we going to Guptills? I told him if possible, we would.Turns out the place is not air conditioned. Or the a/c was broken. Im guessing they just dont have a/c. Could not get a complimentary cup of water so I had to pay $2.50 for a bottle so I wouldnt die.Its nice that its open but I dont know why someone would want to skate in an 85° building. Also strange that other reviews didnt mention this. Next time we will go in the winter.
Awesome place for the kiddos to skate off some energy.
I have been skating here for over 20 years. Yesterday my friend and I had an amazing time! We felt comfortable enough to be able to take breaks when needed and seating was available around the rink constantly.An employee had went out of his way to make sure he cleared a table for us because we were eating at the counter on skates instead of in a booth, as well as making sure it was entirely disinfected for our safety.I highly recommend this rink. They go above and beyond the necessary precautions and ensure you that you have a fun time while feeling safe.
Very cool retro experience. It is like going through a time warp. The staff could be friendlier.
Great place to take the grandchildren especially if you only have one it makes it even more special
Safe place for kids to have fun..well supervised.
Really nice place, they were friendly. I dropped my debit card at some point in the night and they returned it to me.
I spent my entire childhood skating here and dancing at secrets. I always thought it was a decent place. Now I have Kids of my own and decided to throw a birthday party here ...... way before Covid of course.I had The worst experience ever with the owner. I’m not going to go into detail because it’ll take too long. Let’s just say I’ll never return. I’ll kindly give my money to a rink that respects its patrons.I’m just glad my son was able to enjoy his party without noticing how angry the family was.
It was worth the 4 hour drive to such a great landmark. We had so much fun and will be back asap. Thank you!
I dont know I wasnt there. I was was at their icecream place nextdoor.
Ice cream was delicious. Lines moved pretty quickly. My bf was disappointed with the milkshake though. It was over $7 and more milk than anything. Other than that we really enjoyed it!
Great place to get your skating on. Takes me back to the early days.
Havent been here since I was a kid.Now I bring my kids
Guptils is my home away from home for the last 40 years, dont know what I would do without it and my friend Skip, I will never get used to not seeing him and he will always have a place in my heart that none other will ever fill.
I grew up skating here and spent my pre teen years going to Secrets, I had my first slow dance here, met my first serious boyfriend here, and have countless memories of birthday parties and waiting in line to use the pay phone to call my parents for a ride home on Saturday nights. Now over fifteen years later I started coming with my elementary school aged daughter and it is a breath of fresh air to have some kind of normalcy and a reminder of my childhood in the midst of the Covid restricted world we live in now. Everything is clean and proper pre cautions are taken but the part I love most is how everything looks almost the same as it did when I was a kid. Such nostalgia which always brings back great memories I hope to pass on to my daughter. Thank you.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Bathrooms were clean. I especially enjoyed the dance room. However I was surprised that adults are not allowed to walk around In the middle of the rink with beginner skaters. Here @ Holiday Skating Rink in Delanco, NJ we are allowed to do so with soft sole shoes. Seems to work well for everyone.
I will never patronize your business again. My daughter has a medical condition and cannot wear a mask. You cannot discriminate against an honest and true medical condition that we have proof of from a reputable local doctors office. Try to put yourself in her shoes. Plus people are not germs. What has happened to people during this crisis. You people are sick!
I enjoyed roller skating and the atmosphere! I took away stars because it is way too pricey $17 a person with skates and no child price! We came with 2 hours left to skate and it should have been cut in half by that point. The fee of $12 should include skates. With $17 something should come with that such as a free drink or something! There is no water fountain when you are thirsty or any free water! $2.50 for a water bottle common! I recommend bringing drinks and snacks with you. I also recommend having some skate special nights and reduced price weekends! This is not affordable for low income people who want to get out of the house and take their kids out to do smthg.
I am happy (and quite frankly shocked, in a good way) You guys are still open. Back around 1980 used to live in a school called St. Annes. We would go skating there like once a month for a treat. I have so many fond memories of this place. I am glad you guys are still around. Keep up the good work!
Good prices and unlimited skating time
Roller skating is frequently overlooked as a fun time for friends, dating, and family events. The location was quite large, open and classic atmosphere.Our visit was nice and fun, with moderate to average saturday crowd. That was perfect for a mid day visit. There were ample rental skates, and .25c lockers for storage.The venue was also very clean, and well maintained.Younger people stagg the location, except the diner where this was older staff. It was a nice balance of employees, who all seemed to care about their job.Prices during our visit (April 2018) were ten dollars per adult, 5 dollars for skate rental.
The place is way over priced. Too many rules. No inline skates for rental. Wouldnt recomend unless you like boring times.
Went for the first time with the kids. We had a great time. Prices are ok. Definitely coming back. The rental skates are quit old an laces were dirty, no roller blade rentals either. The bathrooms are very much in need of an update.
I learned how to skate here when I was 5 years old and now I am 11, I go with my grandma for practice and it is awesome, and so is the ice cream!! I am always asking to go there on the weekends with my grandma and friends and it is the funnest thing I do on the weekends I am always looking forward to going. The owner is very Sweet and does everything he can to keep the Place nice and he does a lot for me and my grandma like when I got new skates. I recomend this ring for Everyone it is the best rollerskating rink in America!!!!
I have always gone to Guptills on friday nights with a bunch of my friends and we have always had fun!!! The food they serve is always freshly made right there and they have always played the best songs when you skate! The people who work there are very friendly and i have always liked the security guy in secrets! Thank you for being the best roller skating rink in town!!!
Its a 3 hour drive from me to skate here ,it .but often drive by on my way to rollerroma because the music and atmosphere there is better..I started skating in the 80s when the music was more fun to skate to .no DJ and lame music. I would like to be able to request 1 song after driving 3 hours to get there..
This place has been here for decades for one reason: its awesome! Super good system of renting skates and lockers, and nice snack bar and arcade to relax in after a long time skating. Definitely check out the ice cream afterwards, delicious!
I had a terrible experience here. First the rental skates were horrible the laces were wet?? Which is disgusting they ran super small both my pairs were ripping at the bottom and stuck out into my foot. Both pairs also had crooked wheels I could barely go straight and it was extremely uncomfortable. Not to mention the skates didn’t have proper toe stops and it was very hard to stop/slow down. All the employees were awfully rude and looked like they didn’t want to be there there was such little seating for how many people were there. $17 is way to much to pay for what you get I don’t think I’ll ever be coming back
I want to give it more stars but I cant. I really did enjoy myself there but just can not give them anymore stars. Find the place to be very dated. Some updating I feel would go a long way. Starting with the concessions. Its a little pricy. The food was mediocre at best. Maybe it was just the skates I had but they seemed to be as old as the building after 20mins my feet were killing me. Such bad blisters. Ill give them some positives though, staff was very friendly and the whole complex is very clean. Very welcoming atmosphere.
My only reason for the low rating is because when I handed my rental skates back in they put them right back on the shelf WITHOUT disinfecting them.
During weekends I do play songsDuring Reagan said you play songs and also I really nice there sitting aroundThe whole thing whole ArenaI didnt feelI didnt feel trappedI didnt feel trapped whenI didnt feel trapped when I didntI didnt feel trapped when I did need a seatingIs food
I really love it with all the music, the laughter, and the very talented roller skaters. Plus, it is very big. My son loves it here and he said that it is the best to practice his roller blades. Lots of people should come here. Especially kids.
I learned to roller skate with my mother there when we lived in watervilet NY best place ever, amazing time and just fun in general
Been going for years and it never gets old. Food is okay but it’s cheap so I can’t be mad. And watching kids fall over is funny
The place is very outdated. You can tell the skates are very old. The staff at the concession area were very unfriendly. We were pulled over several times because we did not pair up or skate in triples which was very annoying. A lot of the staff talked to my group as if we were dumb and couldn’t comprehend what was being told to us. The smoke was very excessive being that I was with little kids and they were complaining they couldn’t see and didn’t like it. Overall a bad experience only 1 star for the music.
Heard about this place on the radio and sounded like a good time so i went there on a saturday night and let me say I wasnt disappointed. Great place to take a date. the only thing I didnt like was that I wasnt allowed to wear my hat skating but hey rules are rules. I had so much fun! Ill definitely be coming back.
Worst experience in world between the $12 entrance fee the $5 skate rental they really take you to the bank to skate. It took about 20 minutes to get my shoes to even try to start skating it took about 5 minutes to get them on and worse just as I was about to start skating they started spewing out the worst and most toxic fog. It made skating impossible and breathing impossible, I dont have asthma but this would cause anybody who does to end up having to go to the hospital it is just that bad. When I went for a water I found they had only bottles of water for about $2.50 which is about a dollar more than the corner store for the same bad bottles of water. Save yourself the money and the waste of time and just buy yourself a cheap pair of skates you will probably have more fun out in front of your own house with them then you would here.
Place is clean and well kept. We had a ball! Highly recommended.
The kids enjoyed very much..
Kids had so much fun
Large roller rink, cash only, crowded, limited food selection (pizza, fries, nachos, pretzels, fried dough) with painfully slow service and limited seating. Cute with lights, good music, fog effects and theme skating. Family friendly but loud. Line to return skates can get quite long.
I brought my nephew here. We had a good time. There a bit pricey though. 12 admission plus 5 for skate rental. That does not include food.
The staff is extremely rude and the place has no ac in a hot summer day and I wasted my money for nothing. Another important detail that I think everyone should know is I walked in with a bandana on my head and no one seemed to mind until 2 African Americans walked in with Durags on their heads and they were asked to take them off or leave after they paid.
Cash only and over priced. There is no water fountain and the concessions do not provide free water or cups. Management doesnt seem to want to be there. However it is the worlds largest skating rink and all other rinks seem tiny. The floor is well maintained.
Took my grandkids there they had a great time. Personal in food area very pleasant the only thing found food is a little expensive. I will continue taking them there to skate.
I love it here, I have been going since 1987 have made lots of friends and memories. But I am a little disappointed there was no live dj to take requests the last time as was there...I miss the 80s music like madonna prince mj. Its better to skate to.
To expensive, you have to pay even though your not skating, $19. They sell an hotdog here for $5, medium drink for $4.50 when I could go somewhere else and buy for cheaper.Other than that its good.
Love it, great dj, really comfortable rental skates. Decent price. The rink itself and the resting areas could use some work, an extra employee or 2 to police the teenagers ( I watched at least a dozen kids get knocked over or tripped bc no one stopped those that were speeding around them) wouldnt be the worst idea. Personally I would avoid peak times, it does get very crowded at night when they turn into secrets. Otherwise its a great rink. I have found no verification what so ever that this is largest rink in America though, and Ive looked, I even checked guineas. So if thats why you want to check it out dont. I honestly dont think it is the biggest.
The skating rink is still the same from 8 years ago when I was younger . No a/c except in the game room , they use large fans that do nothing but blow hot air . In the kitchen when you’re dying of thirst the old woman can’t even make you a cupOf water or ice , and they only take cash (yes in 2018 still taking cash only ) . Those were my two main issues as well as the staff being miserable in the kitchen. Also I’m suggesting they put up a basketball hoop so the kids can play basketball on skates or something , change it up you can’t keep the same routine and practices from when you first opened .
Great skating huge rink. Music is loud n skate worthy no doubt. Drinks some simple food n SLUSHIES..kind of expensive $3.50 for a small drink, pizza slices $5.00.
I just wish the no hat or headwear sign was bigger, so people notice it. The admission stand never told us about the rule, we only found out when we went out on the rink and told to take our hats off. It wasn’t just us though, I seen a lot of people get pulled aside, and told to take their hats off too.I understand the rule, the hat can fall off, and be a obstacle to other skaters.I’ve always had a lot of fun here. Between skating, the snack place, arcade, and when I was younger, secrets. I’m still going to come here, I just think it would be more insightful if the sign was bigger, or there were numerous signs, so the conductor wouldn’t have to tell people to get off the skating rink over hats.
Very pricey, for my family of 5 and 3 of us had our own skates $70! No water fountain, $2 for a cup of tap water! Go to any other roller rink!
Great skatking rink!
The roller skating is fun but they dont give you any water for free no water fountain if you didnt bring a bottle youll have to pay 2.50$ for water. or you could drink sink water from the bathroom this sucks what if I had died of dehydration because I didnt drink toilet water otherwise great please fix this water issue
The light show was a lot of fun, but it got really annoying how at times skating was limited to couples only, or trios only. The lockers are also a rip off in that you have to pay 25 cents each time you wanna open your locker. In addition, the concession stand was a huge rip off. They dont give water out for free and they dont have a drinking fountain either so youre going to have to pay an arm and a leg for water.
Awesome place to work for and to just unwind and skate. Working for guptills is great, really nice people to work for Im very greatful to work at such a great business. I have been skating since I was 3 years old Ive been in competitions and pushed to do my best by my grandmother r.i.p. skating is one of my passions no matter what age Ill always love skating its a big part of me. Thank you so much guptill family yal are awesome!!!
They raise the price from $8 to $10 then $12 per person within short of time.. for no reason as I believe.. just take advantage as no other on this business than them in this area.. so bad... if they smart they must reduse the fees to $5 per person so the people can come many times a week and they will make more money.. for me I will look for other place of fun for my kids and save more money.
I love this place. It’s local, and my friends go every other weekend to skate. There’s food, games, and skating. The price isn’t too bad. We could go for hours!
We visited Guptill’s several times over the winter months with our grandson. Never really crowded during the afternoons with plenty of room to skate. A great family environment with local history.
A little disappointed you are not open during the afternoons through summer. My son loves this place but I work so early in the mornings and its an hour away from home. Not likely we will be able to visit again until the afternoon hours are back.
First I want to start by saying I have been going to Guptills for almost 45 years. I have many great memories I even met my wife Martha there. I can still remember the smell of her skates as we took our first couples ride around the ring. I love Guptills and everything it USED to stand for when Charles Sr. was in charge. That being said since his son came into power Charles skip Jr. all that has changed. His nickname is very fitting as it seems he has SKIPPED the part of owning a business where you treat your customers with integrity respect & fairness especially in the prices. Since when did everything start becoming about profits and stopped being about the community? I remember the days where businesses cared about the good honest people of the town but no more. I can hardly afford a cone and cruise with my kids anymore. Dont even get me started at the horrors ive seen at the teen club they call Secrets I once saw a young man give a girl what the kids call the Arabian Eyegoggles I was horrified. If you want your kids to become corrupt sexual deviants send them to secrets because thats exactly what the owners are doing, hiding being their secrets. Get back to the good days were Guptills was built on good friends good skatin good ice cream and good times. Sad to see a once great establishment run into the ground by its predecessors.
Very nice Love the atmosphere and energy
The worlds biggest indoor skating rink is fun, with a beautiful floor, cheap skate rentals, and good music that is just loud enough. Even with a full parking lot for a PTA event, there was still room to move around and sufficient number of rental skates. I do wish they would rent roller blades.
Love this place! Been going there since I was a little girl. I remember bringing in a few New Years sipping my alcohol free Shirley temple. Great music great people!
Big but not exactly the best anymore. Overpriced.
Wonderful place! My son loved going here when he was younger. Not to mention the ice cream stand is right next door.
Great customer service. Although no bathrooms??The associate served us with a smile. Although we were told no bathrooms were available. Not good when you have little kids with you.
Amazing place to skate and spend time with family and friends
Kids skate here on Fridays. Good, safe place for them to get their energy out
This rink has the smoothest floor of any rink I have been to and is always kept very clean. Its the Worlds Largest Rink and is in the Guinness book of world records sports edition. There is a main skating floor, a beginners rink, a baby rink and also snack bar, gameroom, party rooms and dance room called Secrets. I really suggest you check out this place because its such a fun place to skate at.
Best ice cream in Capital district
I felt like a kid again, nice and clean and full of fun. Best to go with family, friends and partners
Not happy paid over $500 for a birthday party for my 4 granddaughters and the girls were expecting to be able to go into Secrets which is included in the party.. we now find out that out a 4 hour party Secrets will only be open for 1 hour..for the price we paid very unexceptable and when I spoke with an employee all I got was Secrets has limited hours ..well the website has no Sunday hours listed at all and no hours on the party site either..
I love going here.. It a great ,fun work out.. However i NEVER see them disinfect the rental skates. I will ne buying my own.. I been there 2 times so far,thought first time they may habe forgot but second time same thing.. I dont want someone elses foot fungus..
Fun place and was not very busy even on a Saturday night.
I had a blast with the kids. If you get a chance please go and enjoy
Had my girls double birthday party there and they had a BLAST!!!Skating... Pizza, Ice Cream and Cake... Dancing in the club!!!!All around best place to have a party indoors!!Thanks Guptills for a great time!!
This place is a blast for people of all ages! Huge indoor rink offers skate rentals, concessions, small arcade and dance floor. No hats allowed on the rink, so comb your hair!!!
Every time we try to go to Guptils, your hours change. Why arent you open summers during the week? 6:30-10:30? And only Friday and Saturday nights? Really? When you have young children , thats the last place I want to be on a Friday or Saturday night. No daytime hours or a bit earlier than 6:30 in the summer? There are such things as rainy days in the summer.
Pretty cool they have a nice big skating rink and skates that you can rent.they also have snacks and water and they play music for you.
I like that theres separate rinks from the main rink where you can skate a little more privately. For those of us that want to work on tricks or enhance our sport in the winter months, or just keep our chops up, it means the world to me to have those side practice areas to freely work on skating without being in the way of skaters.
Nice..I think its over priced. 20 to enter I this is ridiculous but hey we love our kids
Had a great time, floor was clean and spacious, music was ok, arcade has some throwback games!!!
A small water is $4..... and a bottle is $2.50 , no water fountains , food is way to much $4.. for a very small hotdog..I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK!
It really is the largest indoor roller skating rink in the world! The floor is grippier on the outside and slicker on the inside (painted wood), giving you some variety. Plus, the sides where you can work on your skills helps a lot if you are intimidated by the crowds.
How awful that they are exploiting Madison from American idol. They should be paying her for using her name. Skip wouldn’t pay the girl 5 dollars. The guptils are huge users and jump on coat tails type people. Everyone in Colonie knows it.
The worlds largest roller skating rink. The skating floor is very dirty. The food and drinks are expensive. A water and two small Pepsis $10.50
There was a Car Show! It was great. But when we went to leave.... What a mess. There were teens directing traffic😜 Finially a cop came & got us out quick!😁
This place is amazing and it even is in the Great Book Of World Records! You might fall a couple times when you are new at it, but youll still have a good time.
Amazing large roller skating arena with great pizza and a very cute little kids dance area. Loved it. Great for birthday parties as well!
Would not let a 3 year old use the bathroom?? Stewarts has better Ice Cream with a better customer accommodations!!!
Fun place! We had a great time on the rink!
Great family place to have fun. Wonderful wood floor. Mr. Guptill was on site and a bouncer in the dance area. Safe.
Had so much fun with my niece and nephew
We took our crew up there and had a blast! Beautiful floor, wonderful atmosphere! We all had a great time!
Biggest indoor roller rink in the US. Great smoke, laser and lights. They play everything thats great to skate to from classic rock to disco.
The roller rink is ok and they need to do waaaaayyy better with the music. They don’t play no hip hop or no r&b music at all.
I love Guptlis! It is the best place to have fun and hang with family and friends.
Been coming here for $30 years and will continue to do so until my legs stop working! Then Ill come for the ice cream. It really is the best!
Love the place skating there in the 90s and there a great family love moose track ice cream
Ice cream is good and big but car show was my reason for going as its far away. Great run, Thanks!
Experienced prejudice behavior from staff. Absolutely disgusted. I will never go back. Full of amateur skaters and unsupervised children.
So not worth the $40 I spent nothing included. Rotterdam is a much better choice, I could have spent a total of $20 and got some pizza included.
Great family fun for all. If youre willing to be patient and learn this is a great stop for a rainy afternoon or anytime!!
Cant rollerskate. Only there for the ice cream. New flavors. Very good ice cream. Generous portions. A little pricey though.
Best place to have fun with your family & friends.I would love to have my birthday there,best place to have a roller skating party, I 💖 it
Great for family bonding and for birthday party’s but can be more on the expensive side but it has free parking and you can skate for as long as u want
My girls absolutely love Guptils and Secrets they meet up with thier friends every Satutday from 630 to 1030
Its been a great place for the last 35 years Ive been going. Now I bring my children.
Love the place but its too expensive, nothing new to do there . Old lady is a grouch behind the food counter .
Not very friendly people kind of rude most of the time lots of younger employees seems like the dont want to be there
The ice cream was awesome, glad we went!
An absolutely wonderful facility for all birthday celebrations as well as a terrific family owned and operated place!
Food is pretty gross and over priced. Music and skating is fun kids had a great time.
Had a great time would so again. Plus it is a good place for family time.
Ive been Skating here since I was 15 years old, a great all-time favorite love love love this place!
I go over every time I can,long drive from Rochester NY but is worth it
Great place to go roller skating and great food they have a dance floor and a arcade
They have a good roller skating place here. They even have a referee on the floor to make sure everyone is safe
Great family friendly roller rink. My kids absolutely love our visits.
Nice roller skating rink! Great ice cream! Love this place.
Very fun! A good place to learn how to skate if you go with someone who knows how to.
Nice place for old fashioned roller skating. Owner is genuinely friendly.
Great place to bring the whole family
Huge rink, a little old school flair. My daughter and her friends love it there.
Youre welcome! Cant wait to come skate more
BEST frozen yogurt and ice cream!Everywhere else is second rate!
Havent been here since I was a kid, same staff, same arena, great family place.
I ordered a small ice cream and it was huge very good though..😋
If it didnt cost as much I would spend more time there but it is always my favorite place to skate
I went by myself want to be a better skater is a workout
Very cool place with ice cream parlor attached. Feels like stepping into a time machine at this place.
I went and I has so much fun will definitely go again 😆😆
Expensive but worth it ! Kids had a blast !
Biggest rink in the WORLD!! My favorite place to skate!
Good atmosphere havent been in years great food and music
Great place for family fun. Food is overpriced and not good in general.
Kind of expense, but still a great place to enjoy roller skating.
Great family & friend fun
Great entertainment for families in young people. Family owned and ran. Family is very very nice very genuine
Best roller rink around. All the skates are good and the floor is in great condition.
Great fun for the whole family for about the price of a movie . Good exercise too!
Great place for a birthday party!! So much time and activity for the price
Our family always has a blast skating at Guptills. Is old school and fun.
Nice place. Id probably like it more if I could skate
Best roller skating rink youll ever go to! Its got everything!
Ice cream is great. Make sure to bring cash
Nice big place, cheap and the kids all had fun
Great place to have fun.
Fun time, drink & food pricing is a little high though.
First off they charge $20 for a kid to go roller skating theyre playing music that they played when I was a definitely not affordable for everybody
They food nasty but i had fun lmao.
Big roller rink ever they got good food and drinks under $10
Their food is no good and a little too expensive but yea its ok
Always a great time!! All ages 😍😁
Fun place for birthday parties or just to go with your famiky and fri3.
I went here tonight, lots of people. A line to get in.
Bathrooms could be updated but the place hasnt changed since I was a kid!
This rink should be on every skaters bucket list of rinks to visit at least once in their lifetime.
Love going here. Everyone is friendly and its great exercise.
Clean, warm, big, expensive. Movie theater prices for food and drink.
Great place to go with families. Bathrooms were dirty though!
Its a fun environment to be in, I would love some diversity in the music
Besides being the largest roller skating rink, they have the best light show for a roller rink.
Snowmans ice cream is better..but the flea market is cool.......
Good family environment, Would love some diversity in the music.

2022-06-23We enjoyed the evening roller skating! It wasnt too crowded, and a mix of all level skaters. Great music!

2022-03-20OK, its the biggest roller rink in the United States, and quite possibly the world, plus it feels like it -- but dont let that intimidate you! Guptills Arena sends out a heavy vintage America vibe, but that floor is world-class, and the layout is so generous, you really cant go wrong. Whats different (one aspect among many) is that two additional, smaller spaces sit on either side of the vast main floor, and skaters can use them for practice. Its a little less of a spotlight than hanging out in the middle, plus friends can sit nearby. The amount of seating, for resting skaters as well as non-skating parents and chaperones, is a huge bonus. (Cant really comment on how Guptills caters to children, but I will say that every kid Ive ever seen here looks like theyre having a total blast) This is a family-friendly joint (complete with uniformed -- but unobtrusive -- floor guard!) for sure, but not the kind of place where you cant really skate, for all the squalling children and ice cream cones sprawled everywhere. If you came to skate, you can definitely get your skate on, and good skaters certainly make the scene. Downsides? Sound system is kept to conversation-tolerant volume, and music spans multiple generations (Bon Jovi to Pharrell). Basically, the downsides are also the upsides -- something for everyone to enjoy, and talk about without going deaf. But dedicating specific nights to specific music genres /eras would be fun. Very nice snack bar, game room, cheap (operational!) lockers, and pro shop. Plus the affiliated ice cream place next door boasts its own, separate and formidable, reputation. For me, the real charm is the space, decor, community, and generous feeling. Guptills really is something you should not miss.

2022-05-27You can tell there is a lot of history here, but at the same time is clean and well kept. Talking to some locals about their experiences there back in the day seems like a blast! Too bad the dance club is closed

2022-02-07I came here on 2/6/22 to try out skating with my 3 year old son with a family of 5. It costs $20 per person (which kids under 5 should be free) and paid $100. Immediately i can’t go on the skate rink because i have a 10 month old baby and can not take him out so One person already has to sit out and can’t skate. Immediately my toddler does not like skating. The manager on duty told us if we wanted a refund he would give it to me. Again i try one more time to let my toddler go and he still is crying. We decide to take off our shoes and ask for the refund. Now, the manager said he will refund us one child instead of all 5 people. We paid $100 for absolutely nothing. We will never be coming back here even when my son is older. I have not been here in 15+ Years and i was looking forward to doing something with my son i did when i was younger. Times have definitely changed.

2022-06-04Very ancient and almost historical perhaps thats why the charge $15 for 3 hrs of skating 🤷♀️. The place gets very crowded (to the capacity), so it is not particularly safe. Maybe they can start cutting off the line after a certain point.

2022-07-04Guptils has been around since I was a kid, then my children went, now my grandchildren. Always a great family time, however, we were very disappointed when we got a car full of kids and showed up on Saturday afternoon after reading on this website and on the actual door that the afternoon hours are from 1-4, we werent the only ones in the parking waiting to get in. I called and a woman said that ors closed for July and August in the afternoon, I suggested that they change their sign on the door and website.

2022-02-07This was a fun place to go for a date. I saw plenty of families and couples skating around. The place is huge and hasnt had an update in decades, it gives it a nostalgic and comforting aesthetic. If you have any interest in rollar skating, head to this place.
