The Roller Cave

Took our little one here with her bestie for Saturday night Family Skate. Overall, it was a good time! Skating rink is a nice size and there is a nice sized arcade area. I really liked that drop offs aren't allowed and parents must stay with their children. All the staff we interacted with were nice and pleasant. You can tell this is a family owned establishment. The only thing I think could be improved would be seating. It's hard to find seating as certain areas are roped off and the seating that is available is either already taken or has trash on it. I think ensuring one of the staff is cleaning tables once people leave or opening one of the roped off areas when parties aren't going on could help with this.

Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back!

Hidden Gem ! This is a great place to bring your kids to have fun. We went on a Sunday around 2pm. Admission is $8-10 for for everyone 2 and over. You get 2 free slices of pizza with admission. Skate rental is $4 dollars. They even have a small arcade area. Now the prizes are a little ridiculous but it was still fun. It's cheaper to just play games that you can win a game. Very clean and everyone one was help and pleasant. This would be a great place for a kids birthday. Can't wait to go back.

The area is very questionable. Kids aren't allowed to be dropped off adults or chaperones need to stay w them. I really like that since lids sometimes act like jerks to impress their friends. Clean. Food isn't bad. Fun place I'll return to.

Pretty cool spot, kid friendly. Fairly good food options. I wish they were open more days of the week.

Ridiculous rules...you're not allowed to wear any jackets according to their "dress code" and you cannot trick skate or dance...LAME

Denied me entrance to a party that I was invited to and couldn't tell me why I wasn't allowed after spending thousands of dollars each year on skates ect bad for business

My kids called to say I have to stay with them to skate, my husband drops me off and this lady stands up and says my kids need an adult. I proceed to tell her I am the adult and these are my kids. She jumps up off the bolder in front of the skating rink and proceeds to say we can't get in. I tell her I am their mother why can't they get in she goes in skating rink and tell the ppl working the desk not to let us in. WHY because I look young or because my two 13/14yr old BLACK BOYS look big with black hoodies on. I've never experienced such RACISM especially at a place we frequent during school sessions. I guess summer is out and the racist are ready to judge. ILL NEVER EVER PUT ANOTHER DOLLAR INTO THIS PLACE. Warren school systems need to pick a better place

Updated review 3.28.21

****Updating my review as there was a large improvement in my now 4th time visiting the Roller Cave****

Although some of the previous issues still remain (kids going in wrong direction, kids throwing their skate mates across the floor, the occasional common foot ware in the rink...I feel there were more employees putting in an effort to keep this under control. Parents were also doing a better job at making their kids focus on going the right direction and if they fall to get out of the way. I know some of these issues are hard to keep under control always so...it is what it is.

The food was still good (pizza)
Didn't play any games this time (we just focused on skating)
One of the roped areas was removed which was nice to have extra skating space.
Facility was clean as always.
Lockers worked just fine
Skate floor was clean
Staff was nice and professional
The Roller Cave definitely has a friendly family owned feel

We were helped with one of our skates(we brought our own)
The Skate kept turning turning inward regardless of our efforts. The staff member (possibly an owner) assisted us and adjusted the skate and it helped a lot... though the issue didn't go away it got much better and we were provided with information on how to loosen up the skates and break them in a bit more which could be part of the issue.

We will be back as we live very close maybe minutes. Convenient for us and we like the Roller Cave.

Leaving a 3 star review.

I like the rink, just smaller and the extra roped off seating areas don't help.. not saying I won't be back it's an ok place and everyone seems to be happy, nice, professional..

I wish there were more rules enforced as far as the rink floor is concerned... too many people I've seen walking on the rink in common footwear.. people going the wrong direction.. and lots of kids with the "skate mates" darting and dashing all over the floor.. I can take a fall no problem.. fell a couple times tonight because of kids...I would just hate to fall right on a kid or anyone based on them not just going the correct direction and tripping us up... (Im 220lbs)

The pizza we had was good. The games we played functioned correctly, the lockers worked as expected, the restrooms were plenty clean. The parking lot is plenty, and the skate floor is very nice.

I last skated when I was maybe 12-13... I'm 36 now and the roller cave is the first place I picked this activity back up.. we've been twice since Jan 31,2021,we will be back.

This place is a hidden gem! I haven't been skating since I was probably 14 and I was never really good at it, but my son wanted to go and they had a Groupon so I said why not!!

We bought the Groupon for 4 people. It included access to the bounce house, skate rental, a slice of pizza, and a drink for $25. We arrived as soon as they opened, just in case I fell no one would see me. Showed them our Groupon, got our skates, and it was go time.

My son (6) and niece (3) caught on very quickly. I did buy the "walkers" for $5 a piece because I wasn't sure if they would need them or not. They used them for about 30 mins and then I had to "watch them" (bc I didn't really want to skate, ha). One of the employees came out and all of the kids did the limbo, whoever won got a prize from the prize counter. They also played another game where they had to "hit the floor". It was a lot of fun and the kids and myself really enjoyed it.

I loved that they let the parents who didn't want to skate be out on the floor with their shoes on. I didn't know this until after I had my skates on. The bathrooms were super clean and the staff was friendly. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will be back in the near future. I recommend buying the Groupon, it's definitely worth it.

The floors have been refinished! The middle section is removed. Lots of staff present to help with safety. Such a great place to come for family friendly fun. The music on Saturday evenings when my family attends is hip hop but there is never any inappropriate language. They also have a few songs each session just for jam skaters (usually older and more experienced skaters that like to roll out) lots of fun! Games interspersed throughout like limbo and splits. There is also a skate shop with skates and accessories to purchase.
