Sk8 Dojo

Yesterday was the first time I’d been to this rink and I have to say, my kids and I were genuinely pleased. We went during their public skate hours with some friends to celebrate their daughter’s birthday. The only other rink we’ve been to in this area is out in Chesapeake, much further from where we live so that alone is a pro for Sk8 Dojo. I really liked that they had benches along one side of the rink and that they played games every hour. I remember playing limbo at the skating rink when I was a kid and this was the first opportunity my children have had to do the same. In comparison to the other rink we’ve been to, the employees who skate around to make sure everyone is being safe and what not were great. At the other rink, one person in particular stays blowing her whistle. I didn’t hear a single whistle while at Sk8 Dojo. That’s not to say that they let anything and everything slide. There was a group of teenage girls who on occasion tried to skate five or six wide while holding hands, taking up entirely too much space. They were approached and politely reminded that they couldn’t do that, no whistle necessary! I also noticed that anytime a person fell down while skating, they were promptly approached by an employee to ensure they were ok. Like I said, we were all pleased with our experience and look forward to coming back.

This is the Best Family Skating Rink in the area! I have visited this rink numerous times and I love it! They are constantly renovating and improving this facility. They are extremely friendly and kind. My family and I love the floors (brand new), games, bench sitting on the floor, large screen on the skate floor, and the wonderful snacks. This is an extremely safe establishment with workers who care and are watching at all times. If you do fall, they immediately check to ensure you are okay. Great roller skate rink with nothing but good things to say. Can’t see anyone would think or say otherwise. Amazing family environment and a must for family fun!

I had a great time at Sk8 dojo. We skated for 4 hours and even then we wanted to stay longer. My girls had such a great time. The staff was courteous and patient with a bunch of 4 and 7 year olds. We really really had a good time.

Rude summarizes this place in one word. They act like they don’t need your business. Yes, there is are reasons it isn’t as crowded as the other skate centers! They don’t let you hold the wall, not even kids. everyone falls and slams down at this place because of their wierd rules. They have grown men skating around claiming they work there, but who knows! I wouldn’t send my kids or teenagers in there for that reason. They don’t have the room to sit down & eat you have to stand up and remain in the small corner. No deals available or coupons, costly for a large group. No better then any other rink, although the owners seem to think so.

Clean and ample space for our daughters to have a fun afternoon skating with their friends. They have monitors on the floor to help watch out for individuals that fall. The snack bar has enough to keep kids happy and the prices are more than fair.

This was my first time here. The wooden floor took me a little to get used too, and the rink is a little smaller then my old one in Alaska but the place is friendly, nice and clean. I highly recommend it. Saturday is old school night and they had free pizza– I’m definitely going back really soon. Like Saturday again! No drama and I don’t think I was the oldest guy groovin out on the floor!

Love this place. Not as crowded as Haygood and they give the kids free Pizza! How great is that? Clean friendly staff and good atmosphere for family and kids
My 6 year old niece loves it here!

I was told the management has changed here in the last few months, which has turned the service down a notch. It’s still a solid skating rink, well kept and pretty standard issue. I used to come here last summer and skate more and they were always extremely friendly and accommodating, and made you want to come back. They would go out of their way to provide good service– they gave me & my friend some 2 for 1 coupons and asked us to bring other friends in to skate too. Now, you get patted down by security at the door and purses and bags get searched. They really don’t seem like they want people in the rink… It’s just odd. Two of us were standing by the concession area talking for about 5 minutes at one point, and the manager sent a kid, maybe about 7 or 8 years old, over to tell us we needed to go to the bench area or skate. It was awkward. I’m not sure what happened or what’s changed, but it hasn’t done them any favors.

This place was really fun. We went in with a party of 7 for an 80’s theme gathering. They only charged us for 5 because they liked our theme. The staff was very friendly. It is what it is – A skating rink in the 2010s. No booze, lots of kids. What can you expect? We had a great time and will definitely go back.

This place is now called SK8 Dojo. It’s behind the McDonalds on Indian River Rd. East. I surprised my friends with a girls’ night out here a few months back. The last time any of us had skated was probably back in our elementary school days. We were all a little nervous, but amazingly enough, not one of us fell all night. We had SO much fun! We went on a Friday night, which was packed with middle school aged kids. The owner told us Saturday is a better night for adults to come. Make sure you check out the skate schedule before your plan your visit:
I look forward to taking my kids here soon. The best time for that, according to their website, is Saturday from 10:00am-noon. Kids 12& under + parents skate for $ 5 each, or $ 3 if you bring your own skates.
You can book private events here, too. I am seriously contemplating having an 80’s themed 30^th birthday party here next year.
They are only open for skating on the weekend. During the week, Sk8 Dojo hosts martial arts classes.

I love this skating rink. Been going here since I was a kid. The last time I went skating was when I was on a date. Super cute and romantic. Too bad the guy turned out to be a wack job afterwards lol! Anyhow, my little brother who’s 11 went here on New Year’s Eve for a skating party from 7pm until 2am. Perfect for parents who still want to go in and don’t have a babysitter. Apparently, they keep the kids locked in and don’t release them until the parent/​gaurdian shows up to get the child so it’s pretty safe. He loved it. Pretty sure that he’ll be back next year!
