Took my students here on a weekday. I used to go here all the time years ago and loved it. The employees were young girls who were not very nice and seemed like they didnt want to be there. They had bad attitudes the whole time. A couple students needed a different size shoe or just needed to switch one shoe out and the girl working that area acted like it was a huge inconvenience, to the point that one of my students just decided to skate with a bad shoe. Their public skate time is only 1.5 hour due to Covid. We heard they now have 2 skating rinks, one specifically for public skate, yet we had to leave after 40 minutes of skating even though we were the only ones there. All in all, the kids enjoyed ice skating, but did not enjoy the terrible experience and service we got. And only being able to skate for 40 minutes when it was clear no one else was waiting to skate after us.

I had some trouble getting ahold of the party planners, but when we got ahold of someone they were very helpful. The room wasnt available until the exact time the skating was over. And was not able to decorate overall the party was successful I just wish I was able to decorate the room before the party.

At five and three years old, my kids loved learning to ice skate with the hockey players. At the end of of their eight week lessons, they were even able to shoot pucks in the goal by themselves (with some assistance). It was so fun. The bathrooms are clean. Thats very much appreciated and a sports venue.

The old Mediacom Ice Park is now Jordan Valley Ice Park. Its got two ice rinks, one for public ice skating and various practices. The other for the Missouri State Ice Bears. Very destination and a lot of fun for the whole family. Has a pro shop, a concession stand, and multiple locker rooms. Highly recommend.

We watch Springfield Express Jr Hockey. They have hot dog and hamburgers. Soda and coffee no alcoho. It is fun to see these young men battling it out on the ice. Family friendly event. Picture below shows public skate hours. They have one more shift Fridays 145 to 330.

What was to be the highlight of the day turned into our biggest disappointment, drove 1 hour to spend 15+ minutes trying awful shoes in need of upgrading. Got a refund but would have preferred comfortable shoes with some padding and a great time.

Drove 2 hours to skate for my daughters 9th birthday and to start they changed their hours upon arrival and told us to come back at 7. Showed up at 620 and tickets were sold out. Then told us to come back 30 min early for their next session and tickets were sold out again. WOULDNT RECOMMEND

Mediacom is a great place for a fun outing with friends during open skate, but they also offer birthday parties, figure skating and hockey lessons, youth and adult hockey leagues, and exciting hockey games with the MSU Ice Bears and the Springfield Express. Rental skates, a pro shop, and concessions are also available.

Missouri State has a couple of great Ice Hockey teams. Tickets are in the $7 range.Reserved seating looks like maybe 150 seats. Surprisingly, some games sell out a week or more in advance.General Admission tickets are about the same cost but offer a much better experience. Tickets go on sale at 5:30 in the pro shop upstairs. Depending on the game you may want to go downstairs & get in line. The doors open at 6:30, the puck drops at 7.General admission tickets (if you get there early) can put you right next to the glass. Even if you are standing in the back the view is great.The Ice Bears have been strong, and it is always fun to root on your team, it is even more fun when you are only a few feet from the goal.

Hockey - If you like to watch hockey, the two rinks are home to both the Springfield Spirit, the Springfield Express, and the Missouri State Ice Bears. If you want to play hockey, there are both adult and youth leagues for all ages and abilities. The youth program is the only Olympic Development Program for hockey in the country. Ice Skating - There are classes and private lessons for ice skating for all ages as well. You can watch competitions and exhibitions at various times throughout the year. They also have open skate times almost every day - rental skates are available.

This place is ok. Last time I was here was about 2004 and it was pretty fun and a nice place but it’s a little rough nowadays. The ice was not shaved after a hockey game so ice was rough. Very hard to skate especially if you’re not an avid skater. The shoes need to be replaced as well. Probably the same skates they had back in 04. I could barely tie my shoes they were so stiff, the shoe also was deteriorating. I guess from all the disinfectant?? I would have asked for a replacement but that was the only one they had in a size 8. The music was from a little boom box and was hard to listen to. No sound system to play music?? And no railing to hold onto for amateur skaters like myself. It was very nerve racking when you had people skating all over the place, speeding past you, nothing really to grab onto, hanging out on the sides and having to skate around them because of course they don’t move. And twisting my ankle because I couldn’t get my laces on tight enough. I want to go back to learn how to skate but I’m a little hesitant to go back. If you’re not a good skater and are going to go to this place, good luck.

Went couple weeks ago, early afternoon. Ive never been and decided to take the kids. First of all, the gal that was at the front desk didnt even greet us. And....she didnt tell us where to go, considering weve never been there. We get to the area where we get the skates. Lets just say that the skates need to be updated or provide better skates for kids under 10 years of age. Shoelaces are too long and when you wrap the laces around the skates to tie them, it ends up on the kids ankles. Had to retie their skates several times. Also, it would be helpful to have some kind of railing or provide something for people to hold onto for those who cant skate or have trouble skating. The little railing, if you want to call it that, provides nothing to those who cant skate. Ive been to better skating rinks in the past. Also, $25 for 1 adult and 2 kids (6 and 9) for an hour and a half of skating is a bit expensive...especially when kids are barely holding on to the rink so they dont fall and wearing outdated skates. Well never go back again. For that price, Im sure they can show some improvement.

Took my daughter and my sister’s kids there not too long ago. I think it’s a great place to get some exercise and chill out. Rink was big enough for them to learn and not be overcrowded by other skaters. I’d say they had a blast!

The scoreboard is always broken and the hockey side of the place is poorly ran. I probably won’t be coming back for awhile, or at least until things get fixed here. Also, everything here is outdated and it doesn’t make it look like a very good business. My kids don’t really want to come back either

Great local ice park, well maintained and great instructors for the kids. Close to food and other things to do as well and with good snacks to top it off. The entire staff is super friendly and helpful, they are awesome love skating here with friends at least once in a while.

Review №41

The ice park was very fun. It isnt super cold, only a sweater is needed. Kids cut their hands open on the skates when they fell, and it was pretty dramatic, but I didnt let that stop my fun. The rink is a little small, and looked run down on the inside, but the experience was good.

Review №42

Great facility but its a shame its managed so poorly. The pro shop is never open during the posted hours they say they are (Ive tried going 5 different times and never open during posted hours for the shop!). Only for a couple hours a few days a week that are never advertised. Typically they are during the middle of the afternoon when no one that works for a living can make..

This place could really be amazing. But its horribly ran, if anyone is doing it at all. Front desk people rarely look up from their phones to greet anyone. The place is absolutely filthy. The parking is a joke. Good luck getting a place with anything else going on downtown. We gave up going to hockey games years ago because of this. I would not recommend this place.

Review №45

I have been coming here since it was Jordan Valley ice park, and I always love it, it is an amazing place , can get crowded on the more popular sessions, but if you can go on a weekday during a midday sessions your experience will be much different, my wife and I went the other day on a Tuesday and there was only four of us on the ice. It was $18 for my wife and I, which is higher than it used to be but oh well. The staff was friendly and helpful as always.

The bathrooms were gross and there were no paper towels. Then I went to tell the guy working the lower concession stand, and he couldnt hear me because he had both ear buds in. Then when I did tell him about the paper towels, he handed me a stack of napkins and told me to put them in the bathroom. 👎

After watching Hockey here, we were hooked. Home of Springfield Express and. MSU hockey. There is skating for anyone willing to try. Personally never tried. Dont know the prices for skate rental. There is a pro shop with hockey and skating gear. Good concessions.There is an elevator for those who cant take the stairs. Go Express!!!

Review №49

This is a good friendly service, my only complaint are the skates. My daughter had 2 blisters halfway through and couldnt skate any longer. She had 2 thick socks on and skates were tied properly. They just need to offer some type of foam boot to put in the scates so its not just hard plastic.

Review №53

Brought my kids up to skate after months of anticipation. Kind of a let down. The ice hadnt been resurfaced after the previous 2.5 hour public skate- I have never skated on ice that bad. The rental skates had probably not been sharpened in a long time either. It really made it hard to make any attempt at skating. Just two young guys running the rink who did t seem to care. Kids had fun, but I was very disappointed.

Review №54

The rink is a good size. But it gets cowarded easliy on weekends, and Friday but the other weekdays the rink is normally pretty empty. Recommend bringing your own skates if you any, the rental sizes dont fit well. Good viewing platforms(viewing into the rinks). Birthday rooms are bland, so if youre planning a birthday party there I recommend bringing your own decorations. They offer ice sakating class and theyre taught well. I would say the place itself is chill and casual. Overall I have enjoyed my experiences there.

Review №56

I’ve been here before, and it was fine. But this time was pretty terrible. First of all, their website said the public skating hours for today (Sunday, August 5th) were 1-2:45, and then 2:45-4 I think. But, imagine our surprise when we get there and the front desk clerk tells us there’s a hockey game going on the whole day! This hockey game is nowhere on their website. So we leave with barely a halfhearted “sorry” from the front desk clerk.Overall it’s a okay ice rink, but I don’t think we’ll be back.

Review №66

I love hockey and most the employees here, but I’ve never skated at a rink where....1: the pro shop is closed at random hours during men’s league games (ex: I tried to get my skates sharpened at 6:47 pm and the girl working said they were just closing) 6:47, really?2: the men’s league has you sign up individually, not as a team and conducts a pointless draft. Then the director will edit teams throughout the season to make the teams “fair”.When I came here there were 3 leagues with ten teams each and about 10-15 players/team.It’s now down to two leagues, 6 teams and maybe 9 players/ team.Jeeze I wonder why nobody signs up!ALLOW US TO SIGN UP AS TEAMS, like every other f****** Men’s league rinks! Plus that way we can have creative, funny team names with jerseys since the team will carry onto another session.

Great place. If you want to skate a lot yearly passes are available. They have great learn to skate programs that are priced well too. They also House a youth in house hockey program as well as adult leagues. All non checking. The Springfield Spirt youth travel hockey team practices and plays here as well as the Missouri State University Ice Bears. They have figure skating programs as well. Any Bears games can be found on the Bears website and are a great cheap night of action packed fun. Only during season of course. The only thing that could use improvement are a place to actually secure items while public skating and a more consistent schedule. Even during the summer when hockey season is non existent accept in house the stick and pucks, drop ins and public skates change all the time. Don’t plan on having a set night to practice unless you are in a program. They also can and should place a guard to stop baseball and Shriners from parking illegally, but seldom do. Making parking an issue. I actually check the baseball schedule to determine if I will have parking before leaving the house. Home games you might have to pay five bucks for the garage. Which is a bummer as it’s all to easy to prevent. Over all being apart of the Spirit travel hockey and seeing many rinks around the state this one is pretty top notch.

I have been today at this park, and faced a hard time when I asked for a refund after 5min from the time of the transaction. The seller claimed that she initially asked me whether I want a copy of receipt or not , which she did not do so. And after waiting 10 min for her supervisor, her supervisor said we cant help you with a refund but we can give you free admission for a future visit which I am not interested with. Since Dec 25th, the problem has not been solved. I have left two voice messages for the director and no reply so far.
