The Revolution Ice Centre is fantastic! They have two large, well-maintained rinks and a friendly, attentive staff. We’ve never had to wait more than a minute or two for assistance at the box office or skate rental. The staff treat my children with kindness and care, which makes us feel really supported. Their top priority is safety for the little ones, with helmets and other gear readily available and in excellent condition. I took my 4-year-old and 6-year-old for a hockey trial on the ice, and they absolutely loved it! My older child even signed up for lessons right away. I highly recommend this place to any parent. They also host a variety of fun family events, like ice skating with Santa...
This is a lovely community rink. I attended a game where the Hershey Cubs faced off against the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Knights. Admission was free, though the turnout was quite small. The team has a mascot who engaged with the crowd and even greeted fans in the lobby. The facility features two separate rinks divided by a small lobby that includes a concession stand. Rink one was hosting a public skating session, while rink two was where the game took place. Surprisingly, rink two wasn't as cold as many other community rinks I've been to. However, rink one was nearly unbearable due to the chill.
I've been visiting this rink for 13 years, and I have to say they are really letting it decline. They closed one of the two rinks, so now only one is available, leading to poor scheduling and less ice time. On the bright side, the freestyle sessions are not crowded at all, which is great. However, they charge a $20 per hour walk-on fee. While there are package deals, if you only skate for an hour each time, the walk-on fee turns out to be more cost-effective. It's disheartening to witness how poorly they are managing this place, and it's sad to see my favorite rink falling apart like this.
I've been visiting this place for a few years, and the staff is always friendly while skating is just as enjoyable as ever. However, they recently introduced waivers and revamped their payment and rental systems for public skating, and it's now incredibly inefficient. It took us 35 minutes just to pay and get our skates, whereas it used to take only 5 minutes. This was really frustrating, as it consumed a quarter of our skating time! Since this is one of the only rinks nearby, I hope they address this issue soon.

I really love the new changes to the lobby, the added rink, and the family-friendly atmosphere that has been reintroduced, reminiscent of how the Ice Box was 15 years ago. I would like to see some areas, particularly the concrete in certain rink sections and locker rooms, fully covered with rubber flooring. It would also be great to consider heating for the stands. Overall, great job so far!
