Skateland Northridge

I had a great first time experience here! There was l a nice big & smooth rink. Referees were patient with everyone who were beginners. If you don’t know how to skate well, like me, go here! You won’t feel left out & everyone has good vibes. I went on a Friday night there were little kids 13 – 16 there but I didn’t mind. Young adults were there too. The music was r&b/hip hop. It was just great! I will defiantly be going back more often.

Oh boy. I have to be very honest, this was a bad experience for me. If you want their employees constantly coming up to you telling you what and how to skate then this is your place. I didn’t feel free to skate. First the gentleman told me that I needed to get off the floor because I wasn’t playing their game right. Ok I got off but was very disturbed at the way he asked me to get off. Then he told me that I needed to put my bag away which was odd because many patrons there were wearing backpacks. Finally he told me that I wasn’t holding my 3 year old son the right way lol. So I had to ask the manager to please ask him to stop bothering me which of course didn’t work because he came back once more and called me the B word. Well at that point the manager gave me my money back that’s why I’m giving them 2 stars. Very unfortunate.

It was my son’s birthday party and we were celebrating on a Sunday. We had called moonlight Roller way in Glendale but they we so not as friendly as this place. The manager was probably the most catering man I know. Skateland has the perfect guy working for them. The D.J. was awesome too and let us pick whatever songs we wanted with the exception of «white lines» lol. but any song I have him, he knew… he was like a walking pandora… we get there extra early and they still let us in. And we brought our own cake (a special one made just for my son) and he let us in with it… the skates seemed pretty new. I’m a very good skater and I usually bring my own but forgot them this time. .so i used the rentals which gave me no problems at all. They even let me try Rollerblades and switch back after I realized it’s not my cup of tea (did I just say that, wow I’m getting old lol).
We can’t forget the floor staff, anytime someone fell they we quickly to protect them and prevent injuries. .
And the Pizza was probably one of the best pizzas I’ve eaten. And if you look at my picture you can probably tell I’ve eaten alot of pizzas before.
My point is EVERY thing turned out PERFECT and I would recommend this place to anyone. This manager guy really took care of us to the point that I was inspired to write this review. He deserves a raise =)
Thanks guys, we will definitely be back again.

The perfect date idea! Honestly, I’d go on the old timers night. Some may prefer to be surrounded by other youngsters but in my opinion, if I’m here, it’s because I’m on a date and I say f**k them other kids. I’m here to have fun, not to look «cool». PLUS, good luck picking up girls, they’re probably with dates or having a girls night. BUT who says you can’t make new friends?! Everybody’s here to have a good time and as long as you enjoy yourself authentically, you won’t go wrong.
Tip: try both skates and blades. You may be surprised which one works easier for you or makes you look cooler when you face plant straight into that slippery ass floor. «Oooooh, that looked like it hurt, but damn those look good on that person!»

This place is great!!! My daughters love coming here. Reasonable entrance fee. Great music!!!

Came here for a birthday party and I, who wan only there to chaperone, enjoyed myself a lot!
There is a sizable parking lot with enough for three birthday parties worth of guests.
The place is straight out of a disco movie scene: It was loud, colorful, a bit psychedelic and most definitely hopping!
There were many kids that were newbies and this is the first place I’ve seen rent out what they call a «Skate Buddy». They’re like walkers so that the young ones can go out there and enjoy themselves even if they do not know how to skate. Or, ahem, adults. They’re rented out for $ 5 each.
There are several eating area for private birthday parties.
The music selection is great. This is probably why I enjoyed myself so much even though I didn’t skate myself. The music is contemporary pop and some alternative rock. But the selection was safe for children’s consumption.
The staff, if they were at all frustrated or tired, never showed a hint of it in their words, faces or actions. They were very friendly, patient and helpful.

Went here for a fundraiser for my kids school. Had not been skating for years and years. We had a great time. The skates were comfortable, they had kiddo newbie skate walkers for rent if you needed.
A few things annoyed me. They had 3 fundraisers and 2 parties the same night. The concession line was backed all night. The music started to repeat at about 9:30. You would think you could accumulate 3 hrs of music.
All that being said my family will be back.

The venue its self is older and out of date or in date if they are going for the good old 70s look. Anyway, went skating on my last business trip to LA. I had a ball. I haven’t skated that hard in decades. the Sunday night old school adult crowd gets their boogie on! I will return…

this is about to be our go to spot on fridays from 8 – 11 pm. forget clubbing and parties! lol so much fun! a total of $ 16 for skate rental and admission.
the facility is huge, clean and staff is really nice. there’s a great dj, and a really friendly crowd. cell phones and gopros or anything aren’t allowed in the ring :(but its the right thing, because you’ll definitely run into someone.
after these massive blisters on my right foot, i’m investing in some roller skates which will cut my cost down to only admission. :)))
great place to be on a friday night!

This place is cool. They have Saturday morning lessons for an hour for $ 9. Then if you want a private lesson there’s an instructor named Mark and he’s awesome with kids.

We held my son’s 7^th birthday there on Sunday and I have nothing but gratitude and appreciation towards everyone involved. From booking the party to the actual party day, nothing but the utmost professionalism was displayed by everyone who works at Skateland.
Also, a very special thank you to our party coordinator/​assistant, Devin. He was an amazing young man who went above and beyond in making sure our party ran smoothly from the time we set up until we left. Thank you, Devin!!! :)

My daughter fell and hit her knee again, but this time it was all on her own. Patrick, the floor guard, immediately knelt down with her and began consoling her like a seasoned parent, he seemed very experienced with little kids and injuries and I’m grateful he was there. They provided ice and management followed up to see if she was feeling better.

One of the last skating rings in LA! This place has been around for years and it’s still great for all ages and adults. Lots of fun and good for kids birthday parties. The staff is very helpful however… DO NOT ORDER THEIR PIZZA! It’s gross and most of the kids didn’t enjoy it either. Undercooked and low quality cheese that tastes grainy.

The greatest place on the planet, fun and safe enviroment… I grew up there my children grew up there and my grandchildren are now skating there. I have been part of the Skateland family since 1968, and still go there for yearly reunions, birthday parties, and fundraisers. And did I mention I worked there in 1974…

Anyone else come here on a Sunday and found it to be sketchy. .?
Sunday from 8:30 To 11 is adults only, but as i drove in, i noriced its in a not so good neighborhood, with a not so nice looking crowd.

Funny place to go. Bring back memories…
(The disco ball is there…)

I went to Skateland not that long ago with my boyfriend. He has never been on skates so we both had no idea how this would go. We got there around 7pm and the first thing I noticed was that the place seemed to be ran mostly by young adults and no employee was in the skating rink. This was a little startling since there is supposed to be someone there making sure that everyone is safe.
To make this long story short my boyfriend got seriously injured within the first 15 minutes of being there. I am not blaming Skateland, but it is really upsetting that no one came over to help him. He ended up in the hospital. I had to run around the place trying to find an employee to help me get him out to the car. I asked if there was any way that they could do a partial refund since we were only there for 20 minutes. I had purchased tons of protective gear for him and we paid for a locker and entry.
This was a horrible experience for me. I love skateland, but the customer service at this location was awful. I will never go back. I honestly don’t think that this location is all that safe for kids either.

If Roll Bounce, the American classic ft Bow Wow and Megan Good, took place in LA today, its site would be Skateland of Northridge. Just like the movie it’s a bit run down and low budget but it still has so much to offer…
I went on a Thursday around 9:30 which is Collage Day. If you have college ID you get like $ 2 off. It was about $ 13 for admission and skating rentals. If you do have your own blades bring em and save $ 3 for the rentals.
The inside is a bit dated. Certainly in need of a remodel but it has a certain underground charm. It wasn’t crowded at all and seemed to have a lot of regulars. You could tell some ppl were religious about the scene, great skaters going backwards doing tricks and flips while I just held on to the railing trying not to fall.
The musical selection was great. They play top 40’s, take request and even have a special segment where you get to show off your moves to songs. They may have everyone go backwards or what not. It is fun to watch even if you can’t do the tricks.
They do have lockers and an arcade section that was blacked out. Security is on the premise just in case things get too rowdy.
Overall great place for skating and awesome place to watch some skilled skaters get down. Cute for a date or just for some exercise.

We recently held a kid birthday party at Skateland. It was fun experience for the children and affordable experience for our wallets.
It cost me $ 120 for a party of 10 kids because I held it during one of their open skate times. The cost of admission for open skate is $ 7 and another $ 5 for the skate rental. Save the cake and presents for home. You won’t need a designated table because the kids won’t want to sit down anyways.
If you want a designated table then they also have an Open Skate Party option where you pay $ 12.50 per person which includes admission, skate rental, and a table for 1.5 hours.
The parking lot can get pretty crowded so be sure to get there early. They give you the option of renting inline or roller skates. They also have something called Skate Mates which you can rent for $ 7. It’s like a walker-​on-​wheels that helps beginners with their balance.

This is going to be a really pitiful fact! Not only did I come here as a kid, when I was my kids age, I used to come here when I was in high school to pick up on girls with my friends. Now I go with my own kids, and it seems like all the girls I used to pick up on are here too. Unfortunately, they are still dressed like they are in the 80’s, and with kids the same age as my children. But, my kids love coming here, so we come here, and a lot.
Saturday morning and Wednesday nights, they offer skate classes for kids that don’t know how to skate very well, ok adults are there too. Its $ 10 for ½ hour of teaching, and ½ hour practice. Sometimes we stay and pay an extra $ 8.50(Saturday morning),$ 12(Wednesday) for the kids to stay a few hours longer.
We really love Family Fun Nights. (Wednesday & Saturday.) On Saturday Nights, when it’s my son, daughter, and my nephew, we use the $ 24 deal, where 1 parent, and 3 skaters can go in. Wednesday, is a little better, it’s $ 12 per skater, and you get all you can eat pizza, salad and soft drinks from 7−8pm. Parents (non skaters) are $ 6.
They have open skating throughout the week, you just have to check the website for times. My kids love coming here, and I love bringing them here. Not only is it great fun, and incredible exercise, but it tires them out, so I can try and get some rest when we get home.
