Nice set of rinks. Only been there to watch so cant comment on the ice
Great family atmosphere. First time skating here would definitely recommend and be back.
Really nice venue!!
Very nice rink, with great amenities. They did a very nice job decorating for states while we were there.
Great time skating $30 for family of 3.As long as you’re a resident, not sure what it is if not .
Ice hockey 🏒 year round! Nuff said...However if you want details:Several rinks of various sizes (Olympic rink nice sheet of ice!), including a roller hockey rink (never played on or looked at to be honest).Overall good quality Ice but varies between rinks. Each rink is fairly consistent and well maintained.Decent sized locker rooms are clean on arrival..., most can comfortably fit 16. Showers in each locker, but shower heads are AWFUL. Wish the NTC would fix/ upgrade 🚿. Almost makes me want to subtract a star from rating, but rest of facility saves it.Large central corridor between rinks. Pro shop if you play early enough. Never sat in the stands but they look nice from the goalie crease.A top WNY facility!
Needs to be reset. Dirty, ice conditions are horrible, everything is broke. Sinks, showers, toilets
Facility is nice and the only bad spot of ice was at the Zambonis door. And thats really bad. Olympic rink at least.
Beautiful facility but every single time we are here the people working here are absolutely ridiculous! Snarky, ignorant rude people !!! Let alone the restrictions at this point are a joke the only rink around with these type of restrictions still ... just infuriating at the treatment
Is a great place for a kids birthday party. They set up mats and things to climb on for the kids. There is also a bunch of little bikes and cars for the kids to ride on inside. There is a kitchen with a stove fridge and sink that you can use also. Weve been there 2 yrs in a row now and really like it
What can I say? my only complaint would be this place is too far away for us to go super frequently. Kids are currently taking a clinic there and theres 4 rinks, lots of space, great locker rooms, amazing pro shop, and they actually have WiFi that works and is reliable (unlike Leisure rink & Holiday rink). Well maintained and kept clean. Southtowns rinks, take notes!
Great rink, check covid policy before arriving
Great to have the snack bar open!
Had ice skating lessons here a couple years back. No problems, and overall a pretty nice facility.
I volunteer for a special ed ice skating program and every year we have our show here. I went from being a star myself to volunteering for people who have ieps like me or more of a disability. Every year is different but am amazing in the same way. Like I remember when the name was the Pepsi center. But thanks to this place and the people we get to do our show here every year which doesn’t only mean a lot to me. But the the parents and kids who get to make great memories and where amazing costumes.
I love going here and it’s cheaper than the outdoor ice rink. The cost is very reasonable to rent ice skates (hockey skates only) and admission. Staff will race over and help you if you fall. How ever the one thing that kept this away from 5 stars is the fact that it opens at 11:30 am and closes at 2:00 pm so you have barely any time to skate especially since there are a couple intermissions where they clean the ice for about 15+ minutes. Also food, drinks, sportswear (skates, clothes, and padding) and lessons are expensive.
My daughter had a Cheektowaga MOHL game tonight. The lighting was good. Game was great.
Took the kids for open skate, wish the ice guard was paying attention. Some teens where skating without care that the majority where kids under 10. Saw several near collisions with small children because they were showing off.
This place needs advertising. Nobody I know knew about this place before I showed them. The place is in the process of remodeling, so right now its both functionally beautiful and dirty ugly. The place mostly needs love and attention. It is a cool place to hang out. Just dont let the grumpy security guards rain on your party.
Nice setup. Good pads of ice. WiFi signal can be spotty when trying to live stream games on YouTube. Upstairs restaurant has good food, decent selection of beers and good service
First time there went upstairs to see the fitness guru there need to go more often to give a fair assessment so far so good though
Great facility, good seating on 3 of the 4 rinks. Good ice but it is cold.
A little hard to figure out where to go. No one was there when we entered.
We went here for my daughters hockey game, plus weve seen the Buffalo Beauts here. They have plenty of food selections (Ive heard the chicken fingers are great), and plenty of parking.
4 pad ice rink. Rinks 1 and 2 are the coldest with the feature and Olympic rinks being comfortable for the spectators. Small bar/restaurant with a view of the action on the feature rink. Snack bar unfortunately has some of the worst coffee I have ever had, only drink it is absolutely necessary. Proshop offers skate sharpening and has all your hockey needs covered.
Hade fun!
Ice is usually in pretty good shape. Pro shop is gone. Snack bar and restaurant are seldom open.
]plenty to do at the rinks. Learn to ice skate. Play hockey anyone at any age. General skate for people of all ages. Figure skating? They have that to. There is a family center with a playground. baseball diamonds and a football field. They built a skate park and are in the process of building a hotel on the property. They have a concession stand and a restraurant that overlooks the main rink.
Very nice ice rink. The tournament charged us an entry fee which was unwelcomed. But the facility is very nice. The restaurant overlooking one of the rinks is very good.
Great facility, its nice to be at an ice rink where everything isnt shoehorned in too tightly. The seating for on-ice events is excellent. Cant speak to the quality of the ice, but the zamboni driver seemed to be taking his time with it and doing a good job (rather than speeding thru it). Only ding against this place is the restaurant... the selection seemed pretty limited, especially for kids. We ended up going elsewhere to eat.
One of the best rinks in the area. Also has roller hockey.
Good place to have hockey
Great sled hockey facility
Visited for the winter classic tournament. Nice rink with restaurant upstairs.
Great facility. They hosted the NY state championships here when I played in them. Lots of parking available. Also has a nice concession stand.
Great skate park with a pool bowl a regular bowl and a street section
Came in to watch my sons classmates game. Havent been here in over 28 years. Place was clean and had good concession stands for the fans
Website is as unfriendly as the snarky guy working guest services. Not welcoming or helpful at all to those unfamiliar with this local place.
Municipally owned. Very decent ice facility. Easy access from interstate. Now the home of an outstanding new outdoor skateboard park!
Great rinks nice relaxing areas
DO NOT GO HERE!!! My friend and I bought our tickets and skate rentals, went over to skate rentals and were told they were out of her size. Told to go back to the ticket counter for a refund. Explained the situation to the clerk, and she said they dont do refunds!!! No voucher or anything, THEY FLAT OUT STOLE MY MONEY. Im a very forgiving person, but I will never set foot in there again, THEY ARE HORRIBLE.
Nice rink - actually fairly warm! Not a ton is searing though at the rink we went to. There is a nice snack bar.
Enjoy the ice shows, nice place to visit, only the bathrooms need cleaning
One of the better rinks in buffalo. 4 sheets of ice, a pro shop, cafe and separate restaurant all inside. Ice is usually ready on time and locker rooms are picked up.
Alix Rice skate park is awesome. Glad we have bowls now, though a few more benches would have been awesome too lol
Took a safety class here. Was able to watch hockey practice. Theres also a great restaurant for something to eat
Very nice and clean ice rink!!
Great arena and facility. Only downside was that there was a bees nest in the little kids play park at the back
We spend a ton of time here. Great arena, resturant has decent food, and the staff is very friendly.
They dont care about you once you decide to return a lease car and dont purchase from them. Real life experience!
Nice complex!
Great place to take your family. there is the family room for littlw ones, hockey and baseball for the older members of the family.
Great rink. Both of my kids play in leagues here and its been a very positive experience.
Clean and usually good ice. Ice has been better...
Play most of our hockey games here. It is a very clean building HOWEVER the showers are in serious need of maintenance.
Nice place & staff to help your child with ice skating
Great facility. The baseball fields are well maintained.
Clean facility. Well run tournament. Easy to access. Plenty of parking.
Good hard ice. Clean facilities. Nice loud clank when I go bar down.
Great fields and they have lights
If you play a sport, and dont like the variety at this place, I dont know what to do for you. Everyone appears professional and fun, with all the sports Ive played here.
Great place, easy access to parking, great skating rink.
Sledge hockey visit with WWP. The members went out of the way to be helpful and get us on the ice.
AGSL softball for girls is the best! Great organization and really nice facility...
Great park and nice to have a place with concessions, wifi, and seating
If you need a wide open golf course, driving range or Par 3 course and you are a rookie golfer this is perfect for you !
4 rinks. Pretty nice. Some odd design preventing quality spectating though.
Always a pleasure!
Nice park we went there for the softball fields which were very nice well-maintained.
Nice arena with 4 ice pads, pub, pro shop and a snack bar.
Great facility for a kids indoor birthday party, perfect for toddlers!
Rink is a dump!!! Locker rooms haven’t been cleaned in about 6-7 years, score clock doesn’t work (goes on & off and buzzer goes off randomly).Thought it was run by the Town of Amherst but if that’s the case someone’s gotta be pocketing the profits!
We play hockey here every month , great place
Softball fields are good but some quite a walk from car
Excellent set up good food upstairs nice rink

A very busy facility lots of buzz going on with ice hockey championship games this weekend.
Very clean facilities!
Nice, inexpensive place to play golf with the grandkids.
Facility is often dirty. Management dies not control unsupervised children. Concessions dropoed a tong on the floor, picked it up and placed it on the counter near goid to reuse. Heaters rarely work.
We went here for a football game on a rainy day. The bleachers are in rough shape.
Went to get town ID cards. Didnt see/use much of the center.
4 rinks, ice time isnt too expensive.

2022-02-02Beautiful place, clean and well kept. Locker rooms can be bigger. Nice to have a snack bar and restaurant both on site. For a rink the stands are warmer than other places...ie. light jacket
Review №2
2022-01-23The complex had a good first impression. The interior was spacious. Due to there being close to 20 locker rooms for ice hockey, finding my teams locker room took 5-10 minutes. When I got on the ice, I noticed a big puddle on the ice. It was a big divot. It was about 3 foot wide and 5 foot long. The locker rooms were very big and nice. Overall, I would rate this a 4 stars just because some bad spots on the ice.

2022-04-05A great 4- rink ice hockey facility! It has a snack stand, an upstairs restaurant overlooking Feature Rink, and vending machines for when you are waiting for practice or after the game.
Review №5
2020-01-04Nice facility, four rinks, one of which is Olympic. Restaurant and bar on the second floor and snack bar on the first floor. Ample parking. Only criticism is lack of seating on two of the rinks.
Review №6
2022-06-26A good town run rink. They do need better updates on the boards with what team is playing where, but thats a minor inconvenience.
