Overall a good experience but I (And those in my group) felt they let on far too many people at once. It's a fairly large rink, well maintained. But it was just too crowded.
And this made leaving a pain, as you had a few hundred people all trying to queue for their shoes at once.
We did manage to get some good skating in here and there, so I guess that's all that matters. But the experience would have been much better for everyone (including the poor staff) if they cut the number of people per session by half!!
The amount they charge, and the fact it's booked up solid throughout the day.. they would definitely still make boat loads of money even with half the amount per session.
Probably won't return, but the setting and backdrop in the evening was definitely worth the (one time) experience.
I recommend trying it out, (as I said the location and backdrop are quite cool especially in the dark). But be prepared for overcrowding.
