Haygood Roller Skating Center

Oh the nostalgia! If you are a kid that grew up skating you would love it here. The fact that Haygood is the same look and feel of 90's skating rinks is what makes it so amazing. You really get what you get. Although I have been here plenty times before, this night was a silent disco event. Wow wow wow, so much fun! The event started at 11pm (ouch ), but was only open for this event. I like the fact that it was all adults during this time and the floor wasn't too crowded. Although I am all about the old skool look and feel, down to the carpet and the little lockers, the bathrooms have to be updated. The restroom is two stalls, with doors that sometimes close. The sink is outside of the restroom is where hands are washed. Although there was soap, there was no paper towels on site. I thought maybe this was the case because they had just opened. However, I went back toward the end of the event and still no paper towels. SN: The silent disco event was so fun. The music came through the head phones. The head phones were lit by 3 different colors which denoted the station you were listening to. The DJ was mixing primarily on one station. Such a fun adult night. Drama free!

The overall experience was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, most of the amenities were closed. The bathrooms were filthy and the customer service was extremely lacking.

roller blades cut my skin and now i have a raw spot on the back of my heal and not my fault i had long socks on and when i'd pull up the cushion in the skates it wouldn't pull up even when i took the skates off and most skates wouldn't lock like the clasps wouldn't shut and it would be like 2 out of the 3 clasps not closing and it came undone many times while i was skating, not to many more problems but kinda feels like AC doesn't work.

I use to come here as a preteen 20 years ago. I went here this past weekend. I've noticed a few changes. The snack area has bowling instead of various games and the snack bar now sells alcohol. It's still smells the same as it did 20 years ago but it's a skating rink and people sweat. ‍ I didn't get a chance to check out the play place or the pizza but I had a great time. They still play games with everyone like the limbo and 4 corners. The rink is smooth and, at times, can get crowded but all in all a great time. It's perfect for all ages. It even has tables around the rink for everyone not skating to eat/drink/watch. I will definitely will be coming back

Bought a Groupon for a family night which I only could use on a Friday night. I had to pay $10 extra for a skater helping thing for my daughter, the one she got wasn't working properly, I asked for another one but they didn't have a lot of them. I got my money back. The environment was ok, not that good but ok. I don't think I will come back again

There is no list of dos and don'ts, so employees gave conflicting information . We had a party there lately i was not impressed. We couldn't decorate until an hour prior, you couldn't hang anything from the ceiling, couldn't move the tables to have a dance floor for the kids or for Princess Elsa to play games with the kids. The area under the jungle gym were filthy. The tables and chairs need to be replaced. The roller skates were missing brakes on the front and strings knotted. We had to request that the turn down the lights and turn the music up. The music was awful. No upbeat music!! No kids music. That sets the mood for the whole party and the kids couldn't keep skating after they ate. We will never return. Save your money!!

What can you do on Hump Day in Hampton Roads? You can go skating!!!! I just happened to see an event on Facebook stating, Haygood Rollerskating Center was offering Family Night every Wednesday starting at 5:30 pm. Entry, Skate Rental and UNLIMITED PIZZA for the Low Low Price of just $7.00 . We arrived around 6 pm and I saw a good number of cars in the parking lot which intimidated me at first.There was no line. We walked in and I asked to pay for an entry for 1, but I was advised everyone must pay $7 for entry even if you will not be skating. Even if you do not skate you still have the option to eat pizza which wasn't too bad. ( you get a choice is cheese or pepperoni ) The skating rink was not crowded at that time. Plenty of space between skaters and most where wearing masks . I saw hand sanitizing stations at the entrance, by the skate rental, at pizza counter and the bathroom area. This facility has 80's carpets, classic skates and even toddler skate walkers to help your little tots have a positive experience skating as they learn to get their balance... I do not know if they have those for adults. LOL but it would be a bad idea if they did. There were two bathrooms. One which I found to be a bit peculiar... I posted a video. The bathroom near the entrance had two stalls but no sink in the bathroom. when I exited the bathroom in disbelief I saw that there was a sink and water fountain on the outside of the male abs female bathroom. ‍. The sink area was a bit unkept for my liking and they had run out of paper towels. Overall we had a fantastic time skating... I saw we because my initial intent was to not skate and allow my son to have a good time but nostalgia kicked in and I decided to relive my youth. LOLThe ambiance was great! Music bumping and the wind blowing in my face as I smiled, laughed and zoomed around the rink! Definitely a good time to break things up and get out the house and not spend a fortune for some comfort food and entertainment..Tip: if you are going with small children I highly recommend that you get there at 5:30. Around 7 pm the crowd picks up and at 7:30 sims and disco lights come on and older children and adults seem to come in. Almost seems like a party Also know that pizza is served until 8:30. We will definitely be returning for another Family Night of fun!!! Queen gives her stamp of approval.

Brought the kids here for a Friday night experience. This is not the skating rink you were used too. It now has BOOZE! Its reasonably priced with the drinks too. It was $11 a person so not too bad but I was a bit disappointed you have to pay $5 to rent the skating helpers and they weren't that many so there was a wait list. I also loved that there were bigger kids helping the littles as they were trying to skate. They also have a little bowling area by the food and drinks if kids are tired of skating. My boys also loved the play area so there are plenty of things for kids to do if they are over skating! Would come back again.

I have been twice in the last month. Once for an event with a band and once for a Cheap Skate Night. Both times were incredibly fun. The staff is friendly and welcoming and always willing to help. It is such a welcoming environment, people are in good moods and are there to have fun. I can't comment on the bathrooms or food since I didn't the bathroom or eat the food. They do have lockers for $.25. Definitely worth checking out with your family or friends. It's like going back in time and brought back great memories as a child rollerskating.

This place is rundown and dirty AF. It's pizza night and it's taking me an hour just to get to the pizza line because the snack bar is closed and everybody keeps calling me in the pizza line so this place sucks.
