Promenade Ice Chalet

I just started coming here because I was recommended by a friend. Its quaint and the staff is really really friendly and patient for a novice skater like myself. And admission was only $ 8! Anyhow, I’m kinda excited to try the Parent and child class although I think mostly the lesson will be for me.

this place was seriously SO scary. A little Krampus looking ugly ass Willy wonka child kept following me around and falling on his little ugly levis gone wrong jeans. The kids were morbidly hideous. They let us skate without paying though so that was nice.

Very happy we signed back up again for ice hockey. I have to say the ice skates have been replaced!!! Also the coaches are beyond nice and new staff– beyond friendly supportive. Everything was a huge different organized experience glad we are back! We even got to see Coach Mike there with his kids. Thank you so much for making all the wonderful improvements. We are very happy

This place would be 5 star except that it’s small — not even NHL size. Beautiful ice quality, never busy, really great staff — helpful and friendly. The Ruby’s Restaurant right next door is a definite plus for eats after a game! Never had to deal with rentals since I have my own skates so can’t speak to that quality. Pretty awesome pro shop here, too — Vic really knows his stuff. This rink is so much better than many others in the area,

I really like this skating rink. The staff is always friendly and helpful with my niece who just recently became interested in wanting to play hockey. It’s never to overcrowded and there aren’t kids running all over the place crazy. They also have a Ruby’s right next to it if you need a bite to eat after working up an appetite skating and maybe falling ten million times.
They also have this thing called power hour which is on Wednesdays except as noted on their calendar and is not available during the summer season in lieu of this during the summer they have Tuesdays and Thursday skate for $ 5 from noon until 4pm. Which is awesome since my niece would go everyday if she could.

My baby got hurt very dangerous place to play there not save and the staff they don’t care just worried about what they are going to eat, and to get more money for private lessons

Horrible. I remember having so much fun here as a child. I guess the quality and state of this place has went down the drain as age goes.
Came with my sister and brother to skate and we paid $ 30 for all and they gave us wristbands. There was 2 guys working front desk and no one at rentals so both walked out to help with skates and left the front desk area empty. Pretty unprofessional.
Skates were readily available but honestly the state of these skates are HORRIBLE. They’ve gone through so much wear that there is no one ankle support on the skates, much how you see that happening on cheap skates. My sister ended up twisting her ankle when she fell. Because I didn’t feel safe on those skates, I went back and asked for hockey ones instead of figure.
Bathroom looks like no ones done maintenance on it for years and it smells, majority of the coin lockers are broken, and the quality of everything has gone down. Ice is rarely Zamboni-​ed and it’s hard to skate when there’s so much damage on the ice. It doesn’t help that people are constantly going everywhere and different speeds, making it easy to have accidents happen, especially when they don’t usually have a person supervising the free skate. There’s also these orange seal sleds that slide across the floor which are extremely annoying and I think unsafe.
Get someone to do some maintenance on the place, maintain the rink, and hire some non-​college kids who actually care about their job.

Very inexpensive and the skates are old and worn in with knotted up laces. I would be happy to pay more to skate if they purchased new rental skates.

Great place to cool off over a hot day!
Even though some of the reviews seem mushy, I feel that this is a jewel of RPV.
I am not a professional at Ice Skating, but I saw a Groupon for a discount on the rink. I invited some friends, and got rented some skates. The skates seem tight at first, so a tip is to get one or 2 sizes bigger.
If you and your friends want to have fun, you should rent a seal. You can rent one for $ 5. Instead of holding onto the wall, the seal can help you balance, and have fun. (It’s like a walker for people that can’t skate like a pro.)
Although this place needs updating, just the fun of ice skating in PV on a hot day is fun.
I would recommend this place to all my friends!

We showed up and it was close even know the holiday counter said it was supposed to be open today. If you can’t trust them to keep the online calendar up to date, how can you trust them to run an ice rink well? Lame. Next time I’ll drive to el segundo instead.

Yesterday was the first time I’ve taken my girls to Ice Chalet and they had a blast. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made the experience top-​notch! I wish I could remember the name of the guy that helped us – he was awesome — engaging and you could tell that he really enjoyed his job.
For the last weekend before Christmas, it was not very busy, which was surprising. I was thinking it was going to be a total nightmare to be honest, haha but it was very manageable.
We got there right at 1pm for «open skate» and they were able to get the girls into their skates on the ice in a matter of minutes.
As for the the facility itself, it’s aging and could use some TLC but it has everything you need; benches, lockers for your personal items, a few vending machines and just outside the rink there is some seating so you can watch the skaters.
Like I said, my girls had a lot of fun. They’re 10 and 5 and rookies on ice for sure but after a while (and with the help from one of the little ice-​sleds that you can hold onto) they were whipping around the rink.
Two hours later, they were bushed and ready for lunch and some rest :)
Overall, a great way to spend the day!

I remember this from my childhood — such an exciting experience for a kid from Southern California! Great facilities and staff, and I recently heard they have an eight week learn to skate class, which sounds like a great idea. In addition, they offer private lessons.

Very nice place yo have fin with the family at very good price, i wish they open earlier today, it’s nice skate rink but no too big, anyway is a funny place :)

Great fun, a bit crowded on a Saturday night but still fun trying to dodge people who look like they’re about to fall. Their very accommodating when you need to try a different pair of skates :)

$ 5 ice skating, yes please (thank you, Groupon)! It’s a very small rink, but it was just enough for what we wanted to do. The staff was nice. The ice condition was not great, but we all had a good time.

I can’t complain too much because it’s a rare SoCal hockey rink, it’s far and away the cheapest one, and they have a good stick time and pickup schedule.
BUT, unfortunately this place does have a few issues. First off, it’s really small and gets way too crowded. The benches, lobby, and even the rink itself have «bald spots» in the floor and ice that damage your skates, and the facility is often left to be ran by teenagers who aren’t exactly the most professional people I’ve ever met.
Like I said, it’s cheap. And for that reason I’ll be back again.

I grew up skating here! It’s a nice, small rink and great for kids and families. It tends to get pretty crowded during the weekends and the ice gets pretty snowy so be careful of bumps and make sure you can maneuver through the kids. The skates are pretty painful so it’s best to bring your own if you have them!

wednesday night pick up games $ 10.
cheapest around.

I grew up coming to this rink, back in the 80’s when it was in the Courtyard mall and completely indoors. From what I can remember, this is nothing like the rink that I had grew up skating at and that hosted one of my birthday parties.
First, I think the changing area is the same exact area as when I used to skate here back in the 80’s…from the (now broken) lockers to the black rubber floor. Except, now everything seems broken and kind of smells a bit. And don’t get me started on the restrooms (shudder), which are also untouched since the 80’s.
I’m back here now, not to figure skate but to work on my hockey skating. I’m not sure when is ever a good time to be here… I was here on a Sunday and now a Monday afternoon… Super busy both times with chaos on the ice.
Now, I’m not asking to do my best Apollo Ono impression, but it’s pretty difficult, if not impossible to skate at any real speed. The chaos on the ice involves it being littered with a combination of small unsupervised children who don’t know what they’re doing, going in every direction (including and especially the wrong way), idiots maneuvering the orange plastic seals as if they would blow a blood alcohol content above .20 and figure skaters blindly skating out into the open skating areas narrowly crashing into or (if they’re doing they’re spins) eviscerating anyone in the area. If they stayed to the center or the classes/​official teachers were roped off, I wouldn’t worry about falling victim to the North Korean Iron Lotus.
Oh, and today, to make it totally ghetto ice, I saw a bunch of parents drawing on the ice with markers for their kids. Really people? I know it’ll eventually go away over time… Or with the (always idle) Zamboni which they only seem to bring our if the groundhog can’t see his shadow on the ice because it’s been cut up to shreds.
There’s not enough supervision to make sure people aren’t doing stupid dangerous stuff. I’m not even sure someone would stop me if I tried to do my best Apollo Ono the wrong way. It’s the Wild West, but I’m not going to be the girl that crashes and crushes one of the skating Oompa Loompas.
Sure the location is convenient for me, living in the South Bay, but I think I will be going to Skating Edge, Toyota Spots Center or Lakewood Ice from now on. If you like mowing over small kids, this is definitely the place for you :-(

They do need to update their facilities a little bit… Their skates have seen better days, and they could really use some new ones.
The rink itself is quite small, since it’s inside of a mall. I’m used to the East West Ice Palace in Cerritos, so it seemed a bit dinky in comparison.
Buuuut I did have a lot of fun. It was quite crowded on a Saturday afternoon, and even though it was a bit difficult to skate freely with kids gliding about underfoot, I liked watching the cute little kids :) I don’t live in the neighborhood, so I probably will not return any time soon… but if you’re in the area, it’s a nice activity, especially on a hot day!
