Aviator Sports And Events Center

A nice place with a nice ice ring and activities to have fun with family.

Such a convenient place for children and adults to go out and play!
I came here to watch some pick up games of basketball but in doing so, I saw that there are activities for everyone. Children and adults can enjoy a ton of field games, go ice skating, play dodge ball etc and simply have a good time exercising rather than getting into trouble elsewhere on the weekends. There is also a bar for the adults who come to chaperon which I thought was a nice little addition.
Definitely check it out!

While this place used to be an excellent activity for children, I fear it is no longer the case. The whole organization is extraordinarily disorganized and poorly run. The facilities have become run down to the degree that an afternoon there is a frustrating affair, and they have forgotten how to organize when faced with a modest crowd.
I will not return.

This review applies to the ice skating ring, had a good time there today friendly staff only complaint was the condition of the skates I received, the laces where beat to hell held together by knots but my son’s pair where in good shape. Not over crowded good mix of children learning like my son average skaters like me and some people that knew how skate. Had a good time haven’t skated in a while and everyone understood that I had a 4 year old on the ice for the first time, would gladly go back.

Don’t come here for ice-​skating it sucks severely there’s mostly 3 – 10 year olds taking up all the space and they hardly have food! When I went, there was only 1 cup of fries and expensive chocolates to eat plus the dance Dance Revolution game didn’t work for 2 players! It was a disappointing trip for my younger sister and I.

Kickball, dodgeball, field games galore!
Who else misses playing these games? My coworker decided to mix things up for his birthday and decided to host at Aviator. We got an early start to the morning to make the 1.5 hour commute from Manhattan (subway to bus to walking). Not sure how often I’d make the trip, but the facilities were so nice and comprehensive that I’d consider it.
The place is a converted airplane hanger, so there’s so much space throughout. We played a bunch of team building exercises, relay races, and ended with a dodgeball tournament on one of the turfs. To be honest, the staff wasn’t the best at explaining some of the earlier games, but they were very attentive and made sure we had a good time. In between games, we went up to their bar and had a few rounds of drinks ($ 5 drafts!).
In addition to the turfs, they have an ice rink, gymnastics area, tons of arcade games, smaller attraction-​like rides, and all the food and drink you’d need for a kid’s (or adult’s) birthday party. Next rainy day, I’d think about coming for the afternoon and just spending my time staying active indoors. Great find in deep Brooklyn!

It’s nice here. Two fields plenty of parking and activities to do. They also host high school football and soccer. The place is clean and the staff is very professional and are very safe. They also have different programs for children of all ages. Quick and easy to get to. Check the place out.

I went here for a boxing event, the place was set up really nicely. I liked how the bar over-​looked the whole boxing ring, those were probably the best seats in the house. The Arena was clean and the people were nice. I also noticed a lot of arcade games and an ICE RINK. Very cool place.

I’ve come here twice to relax after the Color Run and the Wipeout Race! They have an arcade, albeit small. It’s in a pretty inconvenient location, but it’s good for children.

Had a sports party there and the staff did nothing to get the kids engaged or entertained. You can only get food from them and it’s below average. When provided feedback to the manager, just got a response where it didn’t feel like they cared about their customers. Would definitely not recommend.

This is the only place I can come throughout the winter and pay $ 10 bucks to play basketball with a decent size space. The competition is good, great parking and the hours are good.

I decided to enroll my sons in the power basketball camp because of their continued interest in the sport. I initially thought it was a good opportunity to get additional practice and coaching time at a low price. Unfortunately this good opportunity turned into a BAD EXPERIENCE!!!
The reason I encourage my kids to participate in sports is to promote independence, accountability, health, and confidence. When you have coaches who laugh, ridicule, and disrespect the kids then that’s not something I want to be part of. How are they fostering these important character traits when they can’t hold themselves accountable for their lack of professionalism.
I had to personally pull both of my sons, while one of them had trouble breathing, because the coaches were too preoccupied with laughing at the kids who had difficulty keeping up with their «extensive regimen». (When I say regimen, I mean doing things they will struggle with so the coaches can say, «Haha, look at them they should be wearing skirts. I’m weak!»)
When I entrust my kids to adults running a program, I expect them to be professional at all times. I never envisioned them to be around immature grown men who does not take the well being of their charges seriously.
I wish there was a way I could have given Aviator NO STARS but alas I can’t. So my next action steps is ensure I spread the word to ensure this never happens again to any parent or child.

I come here very Saturday for my nieces to take gymnastic classes and so far I have been pleased with the level of instruction. There is more to do than just classes so many times after class my nieces will do the skydive or climb the wall. Sometimes we buy lunch because it is affordable and watch kids practicing ice hockey. They have a big parking lot which is rent out for different events. There has been a circus, a fair and most recently a fundraiser for St. Jude’s.
I didn’t give five stars because the events lead to the main gate being closed and me having to drive around. Once in I then have to navigate the event cars to get to those who are there for classes. Get this together and this place would be superb!

Love their ice rinks. Every time I go and take my little one, we always have a good time. Love that they sell healthy snacks at their food concession stand. The pricing is not bad either. Great place to take family and friends.

I’ve been playing hockey/​skating here since I was three. Unlike Chelsea Piers they have a regulation size hockey rink along with: two basketball courts, an arcade, gymnastics area, two hockey rinks, rock climbing wall, food court, lounge, locker rooms, and soccer and football fields. They also host a lot of events.

Great place for adults and kids, prices drinks are cheap, rock climbing staff are great and helpful and so is the bar and food.

great place with lots to do, staff are mostly younger high school kids but they take their jobs fairly seriously. they really are great at providing a fun experience for the kids. free skate sessions (you have to pay!) are great and last about 2 hours. its worth it instead of going to the city to ice skate!

This place is impressive! Great renovation of old airplane hangers into a sports center. Two ice rinks (be warned, they keep them cold!) as well as other courts and even a bar and an arcade. Plenty do here while watching your family play a game. and lots of places to look at it to take a break from the cold rinks!

This is Brooklyn’s equivalent to Chelsea Piers. Unfortunately, it’s not the same. Aviator sports offers a variety of sports, including gymnastics, basketball, ice skating, rock climbing, football/​soccer, etc.
It’s a pain to get to without a car, but if you have a car, it’s a great place to exercise.
There is one sad little rock climbing wall, so that hardly even counts.
During the Summer, this place is a venue for a handful of races, from colors runs to obstacle races. Be a spectator and join the party (or parties).

Great place for indoor and outdoor sports. However, it is similar to Chelsea sports complex but this place caters to kids.
