Skateworld of Kettering

Find somewhere else! Floor needs to be taken care of! No floor monitors. Pieces of toilet paper everywhere, old beat up skates. Not friendly. Very dated!

We had a birthday party here and it was a nightmare. There were 3 staff members for the entire place. There was a delay in guests interning because there was a verbal altercation in the front. They forgot to put our pizzas in so they were late. There was no one manning the skates so our guests waited for at least 20 min before anyone even showed up to help. The food was really poor quality. The employees are over worked and are doing the best they can but service is poor. Go elsewhere.

They need someone there that have the maturity to take care of issues that arise.
Small children have no chance on the rink with the bullish teens and grown up's reliving their teen years with no regard to how fast they're going or cutting off other skaters.
I guess nothing is being done to resolve these concerns because I know other parents have complained. I guess unfortunately it will take a law suit when someone really gets injured due to no monitoring of the facility.
There should be a no tolerance stance for
Those who have no regard to others!

i used to work here. let's expose this place.
when we pre made pizzas, we put the dough on a rack. when we went to grab them to bake them, gnats would explode everywhere. the food was such low quality i felt bad serving it. the floors are always dirty, the skates are always broken or so run down. the bathrooms are always gross. the prizes at the counter are so not worth the money you spent.
DO NOT GO HERE

This is a well maintained rink. The issues I have are as follows. There are no floor monitors. They have the skate trainers and kids who can clearly skate are on the floor playing with them, pushing them into other skaters. There are older kids who are just literally standing or sitting on the rink floor playing on their phones. Skaters of all age ranges have ZERO rink etiquette.
Adults included. The rink also doesn't offer an adult night, which I find kind of insulting. There are older rinks that have an lt night they aren't very well maintained. Older skaters are responsible, educated, respectful and truly love to skate. I never have to worry about get knocked down or having to jump over a teenager just sitting there on the floor being goofy at an adult skate. I won't go back to this rink. It's not fun or safe to skate there.

Business must be great because they're turning away all of their teen guests.
Our high schoolers, who used to really like skating with their friends (minus mom and dad) for a few hours are now required to have adult supervision. I can understand not wanting a 10yo left unsupervised...but if they're driving themselves...they need mom and dad??
Short-sided and very disappointing.

The place could be better maintained. The prizes were low quality. My daughter hit the 1000 ticket prize but it only credited her 40.

The staff was nice. Pizza was low quality but expected. The Sierra Mist had an off taste from the ice.

It has been 20 years since I last went to Skateworld of Kettering. I will have to say this place still looks the same but definitely less maintained and worn down.

The atmosphere was in poor condition and not great. There were a lot of dirty tables that needed to be wiped down.None of of the staff seemed to be maintaining nor wiping the tables down or picking up trash. The music was super loud and they played oldie and top hit music.

The carpet in this was place was filthy. I was seriously concerned about the kids walking around in their socks and also falling into this carpet that looked like it had never been steamed cleaned or vacuumed.

The bathrooms were in just dire need of a good cleaning and bleaching the toilets and sinks looked like no one had bothered to clean the bathrooms in over 2 decades.

Parents be aware of this location. I would recommend your child to not crawl around the floors or carpets of this location. I would also recommend to not touch the sink counters if possible.

This place looks like a lot of fun for the kids but definitely not clean.

Yuck! Even with a coupon to go it cost a ridiculous amount for disgusting skates from the 80's. Rude staff. I had to change out my kids skate because they gave us two of the same side and he was like well what one do you need... the other one! Also they don't tell you upfront that if you want to use the skate assists for little kids it's $5 per kid. Nasty floors, nasty carpet, will not be going back.

We had high hopes for this place. No roller blades. No speed skates above size 9. Regular skates are super old and not well maintained. Below average food. Very disappointed.
