The Rinks-Yorba Linda Reviews

Great facility, alcohol served, try the curly fries

Our favorite rink! Wonderful, helpful and caring employees, clean facilities and great ice. My children love to skate here!

I was just driving in plaza saw rink and took a look at facility people who go their are rude.never will I go back gain.

Went here on a Groupon deal, 2 pairs to skate for 15$. Their public skate hours are EXTREMELY limited as the single rink is used almost exclusively for sporting events. The ice hadn't been resurfaced in some time and so the going was rough and unpredictable with sudden changes between clean and rough patches. I used the only pair of size 14 skates that they had for rent and it was broken (blade was unaligned on the left boot, confirmed by guy behind the counter). Finally this is apparently a hot spot for local kids of highschool age and younger. I'm not against kids, but there was a lot of dangerous goofing around going on in the rink, making it hard to enjoy myself. I almost collided multiple times with kids skating opposite the flow of traffic or playing tag. I've had much better experiences elsewhere, and I don't think I'll come back.

Fun, but pricey. $82.00 for family of 4 with kids for beginner skating and skate rental.

Price of skating with rentals plus skate time is around $16 not bad. Time is typically 2 hours.

Review based on Adult League only.

The ice surface is average if not a bit below average but the management of the league is by far the best out of the 4 rinks I've played at.

Friendly staff and better parking than Anaheim. The kids classes are cheap and have great instructors.

Can get a little pricey if you need to rent a thing to help skate other than that kids had a blast well worth it

Great place to learn to skate. Reasonable prices and friendly, helpful staff and instructors.

Very fun ice skating to go with friends or family! Fair price and very fun activity.

It's a small rink. It has only 1 ice sheet. However, it's well maintained and managed. I like the fact that most staffs are female and they are very nice and don't mind helping customer. Ice cuts are always on time. Shari, the skating director is a very nice person. She did a great job scheduling classes, tests, and shows.

Great place to beat the heat , food and drinks are so so

Great place to have fun with the family/friends. Ensure you check the schedule for public sessions.

Often times my friends and I need a break from our usual rounds of places to hang out. The movies, the Block, or eating together can get a little tiring after a while and this is an excellent way to break up the monotony. It's casual enough for everyone to jump right in and have a great time, and usually provides a good amount of laughs when we see someone fall on their butt.

I have only ever went during the public hours and usually with a group ranging from 5-9. Luckily, their is also a snack bar and several pool tables, but those are only distractions from the main event (skating). After you're done, their is an excellent pizza place outside which is usually a good thing to do as an "after-activity".

I rated this a 4 and not a 5 for several reasons. One, I feel that the public hours could be a little bit longer. Seeing as I only go during these times, I wish the times would be a little bit longer. Secondly, the price feels a little steep. 10 dollars admission and 3 dollars for skates is probably what you will be paying for a few laps around the rink.

It's an excellent place to hang out :]

This place has a decent selection of beers so you can grab one and hang out while the kids get their dryland done and ready for the hockey game.

Tickets are 17$ , nice facility, not too crowded, and nice atmosphere!

When the ice is cut for hockey they lay too much water along the goal lines an miss a lot of ice with the cut

Great staff at the front desk, snack bar, and the skate shop. Hockey and figure skating coaches are knowledgeable and great with the kids. Been bringing my kids here for 5 years now.

Their Learn to Play and in-house hockey programs are a great way to get started in hockey.

Staff friendly. Granddaughter takes lessons. Make sure to bring gloves and coat. Public skating on Saturday is from 12:30 to 2:00pm

This may be the worst rink I have ever skated at. The boards lean out, they also aren't even.
You want to break stick you say? There are at least three places to do that at each door.
The ref told me that the large hole by the spectator side is worth .25 points. We were only able to lose the puck in it three times.... So we didn't even get one point from it.

To top it off, the showers are about 150ft from the locker room and with a sign on the water heater that says in need of service. Worst Tournament game ever.

It's a nice place, but more bar stools would be appreciated.

My son had classes offered by the Rinks Learn to skate program a friendly staff and a wonderful location.

Great place for a date but can get crowded with people that just stand in one spot.

I don't really know what I think about ice skating or hockey. I have participated in both here, in one capacity or another. Let's take me out of the equation, then.

The building itself is run-down. Definitely it has seen better days. The flooring, especially is shot. Tears, dents. The walls are almost as bad. The smell of B.O. and mildew floats lightly in the chilled breeze.

The customer service was naught or at the very least - uninspired. Maybe you gotta be part of this ice subculture to get good service or to appreciate the aesthetic.

I don't know..

No showers make you stinky when you leave, boards need some work but a perfectly fine ice rink.

It was really good a place if you want to learn ice skating they have lessons for you. If you just want to try ice skating they have time for public skating. If you are interested ice skating please go.

Place it's ok but the staff should learn some manners

They are doing a good job of cleaning and making sure the cover precautions s are in place!

Great facility, with an awesome gym inside! The skating instructors are wonderful and I get to do my workout while my kid is on the ice. Best of both worlds!

Employee was over 30 minutes late to open the rink. Two hockey teams were left to hang out in the parking lot until she showed up A bit frustrating...

Great Ice rink! Has something for everyone. Public skating, Skating lessons (both hockey & figure) advanced hockey training, and beers for dad waiting for a birthday party to end.

It was my first time in the Rinls and they ate still in construction but but will be very nice and will go back later.

Nice set up, not too cold compared to other rinks we have been to

Standing water on the ice during competition, enough said

Poorly run. Bathrooms suck. Food is the worst. Ask for help and you get a barely helpful 16 year old if you're lucky. Ice is usually in poor shape and barriers barely standing. One of the worst rinks in so cal.

Single rink but good for practice and family skating.

The rink is terrible but the adult Hovey program is great. Brad does a phenomenal job.

A little expensive but the staff is very friendly. Coaches even notice first timers and give a few pointers.

Great ice, clean facilities and wonderful associates.

Terrible for hockey. Cold showers, gaps under the doors, boards are angled outward, ice is not well cared for. Needs a complete rework.

Very clean Rink with big lockers! Beer on tap and the food is decent as well!

An old grocery store turned ice rink. I have played in the adult hockey leagues here for 10+ years. It's not state of the art by any stretch, the boards are crooked, the locker rooms are nasty, forget using the showers, the refs are horrendous, I could go on. With all that said, the league's administrator is a great guy, consider him a friend and probably because of that I will play here until they shut it down, my wheels fall off or, if I am not invited back.

Single day rink here with a good offering of food and beverages including some adult drinks. Nice place.

Best place to take your kids to have fun and get lots of exercise. This was my daughter's 2nd time on the ice and she loved it. There's music, food and beverages. No alcohol! Great place for the family.
