Ringing Rocks Roller Rink

This place is straight out of my childhood (I’m 41 now). The skates are probably 30 years old. And the décor. And the prices. It was perfect on a Sunday afternoon with my kids. I can’t recommend it highly enough, assuming you can appreciate a place frozen in time.

Ringing rocks is awesome! My favorite thing is that it hasn’t changed for years! You can also skate up to get food and drinks! Anyone who complains about the looks must be to high class, because nothing beats the prices and old school look!

Ringing Rocks Skate Rink has always been a nice, economical, way to spend a couple hours with friends and family! :)
Not much has changed from when I was a kid.
With that is pro’s and con’s, naturally.
Pro: still great prices! still has a «retro old time family skate feel», great place to spend $ 20 and burn off the kids energy! :)
Negative: the owners could really stand to do some general upkeep, remodeling for safety reasons and hygiene. The bathrooms really leave something to be desired and should be renovated. Bleachers have started to be replaced the last time I was there though (and needed it). Some paint would go far in that place but do not cover the murals that are the history of ringing rocks please!
Biggest suggestions are NEW SKATES a lot of the skates are messed up, wheels don’t spin too well, broken laces and eyelets and ARE they sprayed with a disinfectant (sp?) of any kind after people use? I’ve never seen any but …
Someone NEEDS TO however start reprimanding and removing the ones who are starting trouble. It’s not safe, scares kids and is a legitimate safety concern for all skating!
Course people remember with remodeling and new stuff expect the prices to change THAT’S gonna be the downside.
*But a GREAT TIME to be had by the whole family and we LOVE Ringing Rocks Skate Rink !!*

Won’t be planning a party here. Just isn’t even nice to look at. Needs serious work, repairs, cleaning and etiquette classes for management (don’t know how to talk to people without being rude.) Kids usually run it for the evening. Granted your kids won’t notice how dark, dingy or dirty it is while they are skating… the waiting parents will and will count the seconds till it’s over. Food is as expected if you’ve ever skated at a rink before. Prices ARE cheap if thats all you care about. But you even still are probably paying more than what you are getting. Oh, the smaller rink. You have to walk up steps to get to it while wearing skates. The small children who are learning go up there. Who’s idea was that? I do feel bad about writing a bad review but I can’t with a good conscience not inform parents about the establishment especially if your planning on driving out of town to visit it. No I have never noticed a disinfecting of the skates myself but I will say the kids that work it for the evening are often nice kids at least. If your visiting during a free skate… yes it can be quite a rough crowd. I think parents also think its a babysitting service, except no babysitters… Sorry. They can do much much better as a business if they tried an ounce.

Until we got invited to a birthday party here, I never realized we had a roller rink in the area (or that they even existed at all anymore for that matter)! Since this was a birthday party, we had the whole place to ourselves for 2.5 hours. It’s an old building and not much to look at, but a fun time was had by all! Can’t really comment on the music as a playlist was provided by the host and they simply played that. Prices were very reasonable both for skating, skate rentals, and the food. Minor complaints were that the building didn’t seem to have AC so it got a little warm in there and when we returned our skates, they seemed to have simply put them away without even spraying anything inside of them first. But overall, a fun place to hang out and skate.

During there open skate hours (Friday & Saturday), there are a ton of kids their who’s parents drop them off and then the kids have a free for all. There are NO skate guards on the floor and the kids are playing tag and skating in the wrong direction all night. I tried this place out and two of my kids got run into by kids playing tag and were hurt. I figured I’d give it another chance and went back a month later and a few kids went up to my 12 year old son and told him they wanted to fight «just because». About 10 minutes later my daughter was slammed into by someone going the wrong way and the kids just laughed about it. This is a horrible place to bring your family. If you’re trying to train your children to become thugs then you should drop them off here every week for a few months and you’re wish will come true.

Loads of fun for the kids and reasonably priced but i grew up skating at this place and since i can remember, nothing at all has changed. The place is very dirty, the skates have loose bolts, holes, some rips and years in them and i just frankly feel as though the place is a little unsafe and unsanitary as well. It could be a nice establishment for people to enjoy young and old if they would just revamp the place and get new skates.

This place is so cool! Very old fashioned! Ancient murals on the walls that must date back to the 1940’s or 50’s. Great to see this place has survived all these years intact. I hope they don’t change a thing.

This place needs a major make over or just a good scrub. It is very old & dingy inside. I have been to two kid’s birthday parties, including my son’s in May 08. It’s a great place to have a party because it is cheap and the kids can run amok! Cost $ 50 deposit. $ 150 for rental, $ 1.50 per kid (optional) includes pizza or hot dog and beverage. I think skate rental is $ 1. — Don’t quote me on that-I’d call for prices. Pheasant Run’s prices in Oley is comparable, but it is a little nicer inside. Ringing rocks also has a small rink for the little ones (but you have to go up and down steps?!?)
It is a fun place and I’d go again.
