Interskate Roller Rink

We have been to this establishment many times but no more! This is a classic example of poor management ruining a business with a lot of potential. First let me say, This place is extremely dangerous! There are NO WALLS surrounding the rink. This allows children to enter and exit at anytime, right in front of fast moving people who cannot stop in time. Imagine running your car through a red light in front of oncoming traffic. At times, I am fairly certain there are more people in the building than the fire code would allow, its that crowded. I allowed my children to bring a friend, she was involved in this very scenario and broke her wrist in the fall. I had to bring this little girl home and explain to her mother what happened. This was not a pleasant experience. Secondly, while the staff is friendly an try to make the experience pleasant, the owner or owners wife I assume (Joann) is quite the opposite. My children and I have had numerous issues with bullying and other inappropriate behavior which has been simply ignored at times and seemingly approved at others. Her attitude is very displeasing and appears to be ""it's my place so I do what I want"". While this may be true, the customer and their satisfaction should be the goal of all businesses. I have had conversations with many of the employees who all apologize for her behavior but their ""hands are tied"" and only stay because they need the work. This is a warning to all potential applicants as well. Anytime I mention her behavior to friends or acquaintances, they all have had similar experiences with her. This is my first online review, I generally just let the business fail on their own. I felt strongly enough about this particular business to go ahead and write this review. In closing, unfortunately for them, Interstate will never again see a dime of my money and anyone I speak with about it will be strongly persuaded not to let their children attend. I am 100% sure if there were another skating rink within a 10mile radius, this place would be empty, its that bad. I will make the drive to Grapevine! Also, go to the restroom before you attend! 500 children using the same toilet tends to make it less than desirable when needed. Thank you for reading, I hope this helps someone else avoid the poor experiences we have had. more
