Kate's Skating Rinks

Music was wayyyy too loud for a Sunday afternoon. When the MC was talking, you couldn't hear one thing he was saying. I think it was $35 for 1 adult, 2 children, and 2 skate rentals, so not too bad there, and the popcorn and nacho prices weren't totally unreasonable. At the end of the day, the kids and other people there were having a good time, so that's what really matters.

It's nice to have a decent rink in the area but I hate that this one is located so far away. There used p be a location on the North side of town, but I never cared for the fact that the floor was concrete. At least this location has hardwood floors. The parking lot was full when we went, so we had to park at the Lidl across the street. It's time for skates to expand their parking lot. They have adult skating on Thursday and Saturday nights I believe, and on a recent visit, the rink was jam packed. I don't own my own skates so I did have to rent them, but I was happy to see that they've invested in new skates since the last time I've been. Makes sense since that was years ago. They've also added a climbing situation for kids which I'm sure keeps them busy on family nights. Plenty of seating, good options and skate supplies. Can't wait to go back although I never look forward to the drive.

This through me back into my child years. It was a very fun night for me and the family. Now I didn't come for food so the jurors out on that one.

I have been at Kate's Skate quite a few times 1) for private skating lessons by Coach Steve 2) for the 1st on Oct 16th for 30s and up night from 7pm to 10pm. The place have alway been kept up when I was there. And the last couple of weeks. They have been remodeling the place in stages. From changing the carpet out to the new counter. The staffs have alway been kind to me. Since they help with putting on new wheels. Changing out my skates bearing and I even met the owner Bill. Who assisted with the new padding and shoelaces to my new skates. They are knowledgeable and Bill suggested that I can get a inexpensive gel shoe padding if I don't want to spend alot of money on theirs. However, the rather get the proper padding for my skates and not padding for shoes. Also I'm just more comfortable with Kate's products because they have been around for years. They kept the skaters safe and at peace when there are a large crowd. So this is definitely my go to for indoor skating.

Best family-owned business in Charlotte. I am an avid traveler and roller skater. I skate in Charlotte on average 8 times a month and across the country on average once a month. Kate's Skate's Skating Rink in Indian Trail is by far my favorite.It starts with the ownership. Billy is great owner and a great guy. He invests in his rink and it shows. In the three years that I've lived in Charlotte, I've seen him install new flooring, carpet, lighting and more. I love that I can pay for admission and concession with CashApp which eliminates the worry of losing credit cards or cash. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and hardworking to keep everything going even on the busiest nights and events. Kate's has two adult night sessions Thursdays (8-11pm$ and Saturdays (7-11pm)with a rotation of great local and guest Djs. There is even a monthly 30 and older session for us "seasoned" rollers. Charlotte's skating community very lucky to have a rink owner like Billy that invests in the business and the skate community as a whole.

In town and decided to enjoy the locka skating rink. The place was clean, had lots of food, the staff was friendly and the proved were afforadle. If you sign up for text messaging you get a BOGO. Nice place to bring the kids or just have fun on your day off.

I had a great time with the music and the way everything was in order and clean. The staff and DJ was amazing. I did not get to skate this visit, there were too many little children, but it was nice seeing them have fun. I will return but I need to go on an adult night.

This review is for the Gastonia location. I have been an avid customer for basically all of my life. As soon as I could walk my parents started taking me skating. I understand that polices change as with the times but today I am so appalled by this business that after over 20 years I will no longer be giving my business to Kate's or recommending them to anyone. I grew up with Stacy and Billy becoming basically my 2nd family and I'm not sure if Kate's is under different management or not but I would love for someone to explain to me whyI am less than a month away from being 25 I am old enough to drink alcohol go to the club buy tobacco rent a car but I am not old enough to supervise my 16 year old brother at the skating rink? (He's old enough to drive himself places without supervision mind you). The little blonde haired teenager who was working today (Sunday March 3ird 2024 at 2:30pm) let a group of girls in where the parent stated he was not going to stay and supervise them. Followed by a teenage girl who had her own skates and did not have a parent to supervise her. But because I had no intentions of skating myself even though I was fully planning on sitting and supervising the entire time my brother was there we were turned away and denied entry. After years and thousands of dollars on admission concessions and customized skates and accessories I am so appalled that this business can make their own rules on who is an adult and old enough to sit and supervise a teenager when in reality nothing is going to change in less than 3 weeks other than my age going from 24 to 25. Sincerely a very angry ex customer.
