Community First Igloo

Purchased online and checked in pretty quickly. The skate line was super long, but also moved fast. We went on a Sunday in a holiday weekend.Rink was not too crowded, definitely cold so bring layers and bundle- would recommend a hat and gloves.Snack bar available for light treats, cocoa, and some alcoholic beverages. Cocoa is super hot, so pro tip would be to order some before mid way through/zamboni time to allow the kids to actually drink it in break.Restaurant was now open, cannot wear skates but has clear views of both rinks and you can get your drink in a plastic cup to enjoy rink side as well. Food options seemed super reasonably priced as well.Cost for two to skate was close to $50. Included the skate rentals but if you want a walker it would be another $10. Fun time out with the family for some festive activities.

I went to see my friend, Maddie play with her team(ice hockey), the Sloths. They're undefeated. They won last week d against their opponents 8-1! It's a co-Ed team. I was impressed with this center that is available to the people of Jacksonville. I stopped and ate at the restaurant because I was 45 minutes early before the game started. I had a margarita as well. The food, drink and Waitress was good. Her service was impeccable. Then after the wings, I had to go to the restroom and wash my hands. Clean bathrooms! I look forward to Maddie's next game. Great and plentiful parking available as well. Pros:everything Cons:it was a wee bit chilly in there. If you go wear a jacket or sweater. Recommend? Absolutely

Never in my life did I think I'd be giving a 5 star review to a little restaurant inside a community ice rink - but here we are!First, I have to compliment the staff, especially our server, Ro, who was warm, welcoming, and super helpful and knowledgeable. Interactions with other staff was minimal, but everyone was polite and acknowledged me. For the appetizers - highly recommend the double dipper so you can sample both the kidney bean hummus and zaddy dip. The kidney bean hummus is a step above regular old hummus, so if you're a hummus fan, you'll enjoy this. And the Zaddy Dip is a fun spin and delicious spin on baba ganoush. Get this especially if you're a garlic fan. I went with just a half size grilled caesar salad for my main, with added chicken. I would describe this almost like a Caesar version of a wedge salad. The romaine heart was crispy and delicious - and grilling it adds an incredible flavor. The dressing was so creamy and delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The heirloom tomatoes were a nice little add on. The cornbread croutons were just one more way to level up this salad. I will compare every Caesar salad I eat from here on out to this one. I wish I had gone in with a bigger appetite to try more things. I will for sure be back to eat my way thru the rest of the menu. Since it's an ice rink I suspect I will find myself cooling off in there for lunches often this summer. Definitely a great place to come chill out, watch some hockey (or your kids skate?) and have some good food. This is elevated way above what you'd imagine you'd find at a place like this - and the prices are great for what you're getting. If I could add a 6th star, I would.

First time here since they changed the name and upgraded the place. What a nice change! Kids has so much fun. The rental skates are much nicer than they were years ago but bring your own pair to save $5 rental fee.Public skating schedule is on their website. We opted for the 530-730p slot which was well attended! About an hour in, everyone gets off the ice while the machine smooths the floor back out.Online reservations- super convenient. They do start selling tickets on site 30 minutes prior to the scheduled slot so arrive a bit earlier to avoid most of the crowd.Walkers- these can't be reserved online if you opt to buy your tickets online.On-site cafe- definitely Rinky Dink. The line got really long about an hour into the public session. There is a vending machine for drinks if you want to avoid the line.Bonus- music soundtrack was great!

They have really done a lot to make this rink worth going to! Love coming out to watch hockey and the bar is a great place to grab a drink/food and catch up on the scores. The service in the restaurant sssuuuucks but no one is here for the restaurant.

Wow! What a hidden gem! We came here to ice skate with our four year old daughter for the first time and were very pleasantly surprised. The facility has been renovated recently and is a great spot! There are two rinks, locker rooms, clean bathroom, a cafe/ snack bar, and a full restaurant and bar. If you pay to public skate then you get a discount on the food and drinks at Icebreakers. Our daughter had a great time and we will definitely be back. The food and service as also great! Burgers are huge and wings are tasty!

Nice, clean & new renovated ice skating rink in Jacksonville. Always check their website for public skating time. They might not be the same everyday. Spectators can hangout outside the rink. Overall it's a fun place for any ages.

I'm not a hockey fan nor do I venture into sports bars but here on business and this place is well kept and service is good

We absolutely love community first igloo & icebreakers bar/restaurant. Our kids have a blast on the ice and in the e sports lounge while we get to have dinner and enjoy the awesome atmosphere of the new bar and restaurant area. We love this place! Lanisha is the BEST and always takes care of us. Don't sleep on this great place to be!

This is for the bar at the Igloo exclusively. Their beer is priced like it is for being at a NFL game or concert. On top of that, the staff at the bar seems disinterested in service. I've been there multiple times where I've been given my first beer and the staff won't check in on you until after your beer is empty (sometimes not even then). Went there with a friend for an iceman game. We ordered our beer and we wanted food. Despite us clearly looking at the menu and making eye contact the bartender would not walk over to us. Had to flag him down to see if we could order. The food actually is pretty good but in my opinion the place is being weighed down by high beer prices and poor bar service.
