Ford Ice Center Review

I took a date here for the public skate and we had a super fun time! They rink wasn t too crowded at all and they had cleaned the ice before they opened it for us. The price is pretty affordable, for 10.50 that includes your skate rental.
The only reason I knocked a star was because every single staff member I interacted with was super rude. We we were not greeted, I asked for the public skate and she silently rang in my request and failed to tell me where to rent the skates or what rink we were going to be in. I grabbed a snack and walked back to the rental area and asked for my skates I had paid for and the guy directed me back to the girl who sold me a ticket and she swiftly directed me back to him. He then completely IGNORED my date standing next to me and I had to flag him down again to get his skates. None of the people working there could have been over 21 and they were super unhelpful and downright rude. Other than the experience with the staff we had a wonderful and will certainly be back! Go Preds

Everyone at FIC is super passionate about their sport! The coaches are all incredible people!

Really nice, well maintained rink. Enjoyed a break from the heat.

They're more concerned about hockey games and freestyle skating times, huge lack of public skating and open stick time.
The lack of public skating times makes everyone pack into one session, so you have no room to just skate. You have the kids that try flying around cutting between people, the wall huggers blocking the exit.
The open stick time and family stick time are just as much of a catastrophe. Too many people that you can't get out and try.
Bottom line is the facility, employees, and management don't give a rat's tail about anything other than packing hockey games into both rinks.

Great prices on name brand hockey equipment. Better than on line..helpful service

Daughters first time ice skating she loved it.!!! Now, we go every Friday night

Love this place. Plenty of parking. Great staffs. Smooth skating surface. About 10$ per person. Nice park outside and library close by.

Nice place but the staff doesn t equally enforce their policies

Top Notch ice skating facility. The Scott Hamilton Academy is a wonderful Organization for kids of all ages do learn-to-skate and compete.

Great customer service, great programs for kids just starting out

Facility is really quite nice, food services there were surprisingly reasonably priced, it is a bit expensive for whatever activity you are likely doing, but probably worth it.

Ford Ice Center is a very nice place. The concessions stand was pretty good.

Calendar needs to be updated. Drove 20 minutes for open skate only to find there was an all day hockey tournament taking place.

Over priced and Rude employees but the experience was fun.

Excellent for Predators preseason looks and friendly staff. The hockey gear store was very cool and the staff were friendly.

Great place to go to start the day. The older gentleman who works the desk every morning is a good guy, always pleasant. Always been a good, well kept facility since it opened. Wish there was a spin off in Murfreesboro even if it was only one rink. Hard to expose people to hockey when all the rinks are in Nashville.

Love this place especially when the preds are there

Nice ice rink in Tennessee. Pro shop sharpened our skates onsite before game with NO complaints from my team. That is very important when visiting out of town during tournaments. Good variety at concession stand with adult beverages for the parent spectaculars.

Great facility and a friendly staff that will help you get better at skating and playing hockey. D League is so much fun!

Fun for kids and adults to have a great time in Tennessee

We are here a lot. Staff is friendly and it's always clean.

No support for professional photographer. So if would like good photos pack a high powered lense for you camera. Good luck.

Nice place. Not very many open skate times and when they do have it it's over crowded.

Amazing service and staff, and it's an ice skating rink.

Our son just completed the first level of Scott Hamilton Skating Academy and loved it. We've already enrolled him in level 2. The instructors have been excellent and we saw a huge improvement between his first and last lesson.

Great ice rink. Large lobby with a good food selection (and beer!). Upstairs viewing area for those wanting to avoid the cold inside the rinks.

Super convenient and priced right for a family outing

Players are great, good rules in leagues, everything is clean, you can rent out a rink and they have a free street hockey area.

Nice place to catch a beer and a hockey game or two!

GREAT FACILITY! Just wish it had more ice time for day job workers...

This is a beautiful facility. Any community would be proud to have this rink/facility available. It has nice rinks, plenty of rooms for parties or meetings. It is right next to a mall, library, playground, and community center. All within walking distance. The pro shop is nice and the staff throughout are friendly and helpful.

Taking the Hockey Skills Class that they have every Tuesday night, very friendly staff, great pro shop and very clean facilities . I recommend them

Nice location! It's clean, there's plenty of parking, and the staff is very helpful. The skates aren't worn out looking/feeling. The prices are very good and they offer a multitude of classes!

Ice skating is really hard for me,but it's a really fun place in general.With a place upstairs to look at everyone else skating,There's also a tv upstairs that plays cartoon network mostly.

Nice place that is managed well and kept clean. Wish they had a location in Williamson County though.

very fun, I did not rent skates so I don't know about their quality, but their staff is great and food is good

Wow, Ford Ice Center is hands down the nicest public rink I've been to. Massive in size, multiple rinks and a top notch pro shop.

I really love this place great environment the people here are so nice I play hockey here and all the coaches are awsome

We are so happy to have Ford Ice Center in our area! They offer lots of classes for all ages and abilities. The instructors are great and so helpful. Public skate is fun for the whole family! I definitely recommend visiting!

nice people. perfect place to get started if you've never played hockey before. I thought starting in my mid 20s would be impossible but everyone at Ford made it easy and fun.

Hands down, the nicest rink I have been to in Tennessee and even beats alot of rinks up north. The staff are super friendly and willing to help. Everyone I talked to or ran across had smiles on their faces and we're beyond nice. Good Job!!!!

Really nice place and friendly instructors. I highly recommend it

Very nice skate center. It was very clean inside and out, well maintained, and lots of activities to do including a park for kids to play on just a couple hundred feet from the center outside.

Session seemed short for my liking but I enjoyed myself. Always chaotic around the holidays with the mix of experience levels. The sign in process warrants more time the first go round. Would return and recommend. I'm still in shock this used to be the mall I spent so many years working in.

I rarely leave reviews, but my recent experience at the Ford Ice Center at Bellevue warranted such review. My wife and I tried to go skating on a date night and when we showed up, we had to stand in line for 45min to sign a waiver. This wouldn't be a huge problem except that the line barely moved. So, assuming this place (which was paid for by taxpayer money) would be in the 21st century where easy online waivers exist, we tried to login online and sign the waiver. Unfortunately, the waiver couldn't be filled out in its entirety online because the system was flawed (again, isn't it 2020?). It isn't difficult to have an online check-in process these days. Once someone signs a waiver (which we ended up not completing), you then had to stand in another line (that also wasn't moving) to pay to skate and rent skates. You would think that a place that is so exquisite would make it easy for the public to participate in open skate (but obviously their priority is elsewhere - competitive leagues and bar sales from the parents "watching" their kids). Having an hour and a half window to public skate (as indicated by their online schedule) necessitates a much easier sign-in process. It baffles me that they make it so difficult for the public who helped pay for their building to skate. They need a massive revamping of their entire ingress system. Thoroughly disappointed.

Great rink!!! 2 sheets of ice, pro shop, concessions, great staff, and lots of fun!

You don't get what you pay for. $10.00 for skate rental and skating...ice is rough. Don't expect the ice to be smooth for skating. I've been on pond ice smoother than this! Would not recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely be going somewhere else for ice skating.

Two great rinks. The schedule allows for several different activities for everything to do on ice, except fishing

What a great facility, features 2 full rinks, a hockey store and some concessions. While this part of Antioch isn't the safest, this facility is very well taken care of and maintained, it just feels safe and hopefully this type of place and environment brings change to the rest of the area.

The Security Officer is most efficient and friendly. (He should be, he is my son) !?

Really fun. Very clean and friendly. Saw a guy purpose to a girl.

Great facility! It's always clean and all of the staff are friendly and helpful. They offer a variety of programs for all ages and experience levels, as well as open skate, and league play. Its a great place to go watch a local hockey match, skate yourself, or take some lessons. Additionally, they hold awesome community events that are entertaining and family-friendly.

They also offer a nice range of snacks at the concession stand for a reasonable price. Because it's located next to the community center, kids can go outside and warm up on the playground after skating if they need to.

Got here 15 mins before closing time for the pro shop for a sharpening so I could skate, they wouldn't sharpen my skates. Literally sliding all over the ice tonight. Not fun.

This establishment is good. If you like never passing to the point, goal hanging, wingers, and really good goaltending, adult open hockey is for you. Go to an open stick and puck if you actually wanna have fun and improve your skillz.

This is an awesome ice skating rink they are open to the public on certain times and certain days check out their website to see a list of the times!

The facility is great, been coming since opening. I like to skate with my kids occasionally. But the past three times I have tried have been almost impossible. The rental skates have been so dull the edges are rolled to the outside. I understand amateur skaters do not need agressive edges. However, when the skate slides sideways out from under you constantly, that is a safety issue. Especially for older, heavier skaters.

The Best Rink in TN, great customer service And comfortable facility. Best ICE in an indoor rink iv ever been on, and iv skated in 2 rinks in IL, 3 rinks in MO, and 2 other rinks in TN. Outstanding job, Ford Ice Center! Now just build a cuple rinks in Clarksville TN... Please!!!!!!!!

Very nice arena! The seating in each arena wasn't the best to view the game. The cyclone fencing has some joint edges that snagged my sweater.

Only problem I have is some of the employees act as if they hate their job and are hateful. Not all employees. Some are extremely kind and genuinely nice people. But I've dealt with mostly jerks.

The facilities and the amazing staff can t be beat. Everything about this place is wonderful.
