Ice skating club

Ice rink had fecal matter atop. 10/10 couldn't ask for more. Gary (Garys Matresses) would approve!

2nd visit had another great time but it's time for a refurb of the water park looking very tired. Loved the ice rink. Staff in both the Easter park and I've rink were great and well organised.

This review is about the Ice Skating Centre Planet Ice in Widnes.Planet Ice is in a widnes equivalent area of speke retail, there are a lot of shops/stores & other entertainment places close by such as Reel Cinemas, Pure Gym, Toby Carvery, KFC, Tescos, and more!The overall location is good IF you live in or close to widnes, driving here from Liverpool was quite the task for me and I would not personally say this was a convenient drive for me. If you go in a group booking a taxi and splitting the bill maybe more convenient unless youre experienced in driving to and from widnes that you know their roads, I personally drove over the runcorn bridge and had to pay a toll twice (once to go over and once to get back) to come back as the roads were not too clear on directions.The overall Ice Skating Centre is moderately big as you'd expect it to be, the customer service is lovely in the establishment and the prices are quite good for how much you are allowed to skate comparing to an ice skating rink that temprorarily opens in the winter i.e. winter wonderland or any xmas ice rinks.The outside of the skating centre is massive and very hard to miss, it comes with a massive car park just like a massive shopping centre and it is not hard to find a parking spot once you get here. Upon arrival we had about 2 hours of skating for £10 which includes skates and no membership, and the car park was quite empty at the time (assuming this place does ice hockey events it can get packed at those times but you can't skate at those times regardless).The ice rink comes with skate hire (ofcourse as not everyone can afford their own skates or would do so as they don't skate often), tiny lockers which cost about £1 (if possible leave any clothes or bags in your car if you drove there as the lockers are tiny and saves you from having to spend a pound to store things).There is a seating area on both sides, 1 side is more of a spectator area and the other side is somewhere for people to just watch close to the entrance of the skating rink.The overall hygiene of this establishment is what you'd expect from an ice skating centre, it's not the cleanest place (mainly the toilets, tables, etc) but it isn't an unexpected bad.There are several vending machines, gatcha machines, claw grabbing machines, there are male and female toilets and when open a little cafe/seating area where you can eat/drink. This establishment also does do bookings for parties and what not for larger groups.There is a tiny rink for younger kids (assumption) which was closed when I came to the establishment, it looks like it is for younger children to practice their ice skating as the big rink may be too big & advanced for them (advanced as there are a lot more people in the larger rink, more adult skaters who may not be able to skate as well either).In the seating areas i.e. side booths of the rink, there are wooden benches people can sit on to rest, relax before going back onto the rink. I think this is nice but the seats can use a bit of work (there are splintery wood just pointing out from the benches and what not, would definitely watch where you sit if you have thin fabric pants on i.e. tights or anything else which can be penetrated easily.The amount of people skating at the time I arrived was quite surprising, I'd seen more people skating in a more expensive ice rink for less time than this skating rink and if this establishment isn't too much of a hassle to get to, I would definitely recommend this place for a day out of ice skating.Overall give this skating rink a 4/5, it is a good ice skating rink but as per my own personal opinion, location could be in a better place, and seats on the side could be better (so you don't get a splinter in you before going back to ice skating).

Fantastic family day out! I love the fact that you can hire a penguin for your little ones that haven't quite got the hang of ice skating & take them on the small, less busy, Dinky Rink" while they get their confidence. It is very cold here so be sure to wrap up & dont forget your gloves! Skating boots are available to hire too or bring your own. 2 hours fly by here but you can stay as long as you like during public skate! I'd bring your own food & drink as there is no cafe

The ice skating rink is located on a business park with plenty of parking.We booked a kids party here. Its minimum of 10 kids and it includes buffet food for kids consisting of chips, burgers, hotdogs and cheese & tomatoe for veggies. You also get 5 adults to skate free. Its £5 for kids penguin and max penguin you can reserve is 7.The party was booked for 1pm and they served the food at 13:05 as the ice skating ring was closed for maintenance. I think it would have been nice if they were given 30mins to skate before food was served as it provides a bit of time for late guests.They do offer add ons, a birthday message on led sign while you skate for £2. I wouldn't recommend it, as I didn't even notice it come up with his name. We also paid £4 for ice skating photo that nobody took so had to ask for a refund when we finished.The kids loved the skating.I did have a grumpy man at skate shoe section, on return of the skates one of kids had pulled skates off with out un-tie lace and when I returned it the man wasn't happy and asked me to untie them, i was happy to do it but then he went on about that I wouldnt be impressed if I was given skate with lace tied.The skating element is great but the service needs improvement.

Friendly staff! Very accommodating with the many children from our youth group.

Exciting time spent with friends for my birthday! Went to a sub-zero disco, and was able to request multiple songs to the DJ. By the last hour, many people left their penguins around, and many are nice to let others use them, so we didn't need to buy them!But two friends had small accidents where they hurt themself, and there was little help (a friend got a ice pack" but it was literally just a surgery glove filled with cold carbonated juice).The sub-zero disco had a mix of many professional skaters practising

Great Club and people, couldn't recommend them enough, brilliant sport for children upwards.

Cannot call to book. No one answers. Not easy at all to book online. Finally got booked 3 to 4.30 only time its open. Only open earlier during Glasgow school holidays not west lothian school holidays. Got in. Cafe down in ice rink not open and upstairs doesn't open till 4! Sat till 4, went up got a coffee and told the lady the 3 girls would be up soon to get food. I got told only toasties are available, nothing else kn menu! I heard in the pool flumes were closed and river rapids not working. Im surprised the place is still open, its a joke.

Clean toilets, lovely staff, well kept rink - still smells like the 90s with some great tunes (it was disco night)Really good price for a good rink, still popular
