Very costly No air conditioning Creepy old men staff No water fountains only $3 bottle water because covid they say but literally serve open slushies and fountain soda. A Colonie police officer on duty watching skaters why? I bet 100+ drunk drivers drove right by guptills while officer is inside doing nothing but talking and playing on his phone.

Hadnt been in over 35 years. So much fun. Wish there was air conditioning or at least fans. But still amazing. Would of been nice to see inside Secrets.

Let's be honest, for the world's largest roller arena, it's not got the most enticing deal. First off, they are way too expensive. Rollarama is half the price and does family packages. They should also be doing monthly passes and seasonal passes to engage in unlimited skate sessions for a set time (like fall/winter and spring/summer, for example). I know I'd come all the time if they made it worth the money to do so. They only play radio pop music and you can't even make requests. They should be doing event nights like Adult Only Skate or Themed nights for dressing up or whatever. They have no gimmick except for being big and having great ice cream. I used to love coming here as a kid and as I got older, planning for groups to come together, but it just isn't feasible anymore which is sad. They really just need to rebrand. Keep the old fashioned paintings and whatnot but do better everywhere else. I'll conclude by saying their website is also lackluster to say the least. No appeal. I'm not trying to insult them, by the way. Rather, I hope this gives them a push to do more thanwhat they've been doing. They'll get a ton more business, guaranteed.

Guptill's Roller Skating Arena | Sep 29, 2021

We will reopen skating as soon as we are allowed to do so. We have been in contact with the health department and Albany county legislatures and it has still not been allowed to reopen as per the Governor’s restrictions. We are hoping Rollerskating rinks are allowed to open in NYS soon.

Why haven't you install an Air conditioning in the facility? It's get so hot inside in the summer. Install one at the center of the ring would be awesome

Tongba Nguyen | Sep 30, 2019
Catalina Calico | Sep 30, 2019

Probably because it would cost more and then the prices would go up even more. Thats my thought.

Can you bring your own skates

Cindy Kruzinski | Sep 30, 2019
Victoria Hotopp | Sep 30, 2019

Yes, it is also better to bring your own than rent their skates because their skates are quite worn. It also saves you like $5 per person each trip to bring your own skates
