Ozaukee Skateland

I have been coming here since I was 11! Everyone has always been very nice, and it’s a great place to have a birthday party or other event

It’s a nice place to bring your family to get some exercise during the fall and winter. They host a lot of kids partys here and it can be overwhelming trying to skate amongst so many small kids at one time. They do some games during the skate sessions which breaks things up a bit. Cell phone coverage is sketchy for me when I’ve been there and the biggest pet peeve I have is the weird bathroom stalls for the ladies. The doors start above where you sit. It’s the scariest bathroom I’ve ever been in. Clean but private? Nope. The facility does have a snack bar with food and drink and video games and play area for small non skating kids. Overall a good value especially during family skate night.

Had our 8 year old’s birthday here yesterday. Great deal, lovely people who worked with us to make the party run smoothly, and clean surroundings. It’s the perfect skate spot.

This place seems nice for reasonable people who take their kids to family open skate – there’s video games and a bouncy house and all-​you-​can-​eat-​pizza nights, etc.
If, however, you’re the kind of person who’s getting in roller derby and is looking for a place to practice your crossovers without running over children – Skateland will be very good to you indeed. Go to cheap skate night on Thursday – $ 3 during the school year, and rarely crowded. Skateland sells wheels and skates – talk to Chuck (owner, manager?), who’s helpful and knowledgeable. Skateland also hosts Derby Lite and, sometimes, unofficial practice nights for Brewcity Bruisers folks.
Great place.

Just as I remember it from when I was a kid. They should take out the video games so the kids have no choice but to skate.

I spent many nights of my childhood/​teen years at this skating rink. It was the thing to do. Now, as an adult, I had the opportunity to go back because I was taking a little girl, that I used to babysit for, roller skating for her first time. Boy, did it bring back memories, and that made me feel REALLY old.
It was a Sunday. We went for the 12:30−6 session. It was $ 4 for each of us, plus $ 2 for skate rental. We got our skates, which were the brown ones with orange wheels. I think that we could have gotten speed skates or inlines if we requested them, at no additional charge. My only issue was that the skates only come in full sizes, and my foot is exactly 7.5. 7 is too small and 8 is too big. But, I just had to make due. There were about 8 birthday parties going on. So, many of the tables were reserved. I put her skates on and then I put mine on when we could find a place to sit. The place is very kid friendly and the Sunday sessions are great for beginner skaters. I’ve been other places on the days that were meant for kids and families, and it was just full of teenagers doing tricks and going very fast, and not at all good for kids. At those places, even somebody like me who is a decent skater, you feel like you are really skating at your own risk and that you could be run over or run into at any moment. That was definitely not the case here.
There are arcade games, which are quite tempting to any kid. They also have a big inflatable slide bouncy thingy. Let me just say that when you are trying to teach a 5.5 year old kid to skate, that giant inflatable play thing is way too distracting. But, it is definitely a good thing to have there, although it costs as additional $ 2, for birthday parties and parents whose backs are killing them because all they have been doing is picking a child up off the floor who just can’t seem to get the hang of roller skating.
I love it there, especially compared to the other rinks in the greater Milwaukee area. And, I can’t wait to take her back to see how she does. I’m sure she will catch on.
