Along the lines of staying fueled while exercising and having a good time, Wheels Skate Park has officially reopened with a full-service café for snacks and beverages. (No outside food or drink is permitted.) While a roller skate park is a stretch for “dining out,” it’s a great place for families and friends to meet up for a fun outing and classic snacks like pizza, nachos, pretzels, slushies and cotton candy.
Wheels was a wonderful place to have our 6th grade field trip. They provided a STEM lesson, pizza, drinks, skates, wrist guards, and a game card (for a few games). They were polite, professional and organized. We had a blast!

We had a birthday party. The staff and party organization and communication was great. Our party host Kiera was fantastic. If you’re over 7, I do not recommend the food. 😂

My son and I visited Wheels Skating on February 19 for their Black History Trivia and R&B/Retro Hip Hop Night, and overall we had a really good time! We also met up with a friend who was celebrating her 50th birthday, so it made the night even more special. The evening started off a little slow and somewhat unpredictable, but once the DJ arrived, everything picked up and the energy completely shifted. The music set the vibe, and the R&B and retro hip hop selections really brought the crowd to life. It was great seeing everyone enjoying themselves on the floor.
I have to give a special shoutout to the staff they were extremely polite, accommodating, and friendly from start to finish. Their positive attitudes definitely added to the experience.
Despite the slow start, the night recovered beautifully, and we left smiling. We’ll definitely be back for another themed skate night!

My daughter had the best 8th birthday at Wheels! We had to reschedule twice due to weather and the staff were so flexible and amazing! They made the party so easy and fun! Highly recommend and we'll absolutely be back for future celebrations!

I want to take a moment to recognize Neveah, the manager at Wheels Durham. Every time I visit, she is warm, courteous, and incredibly helpful. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure customers have a great experience.
The rink is always beautifully decorated, and knowing that Neveah is responsible for that makes perfect sense. From themed skate nights like the K-Pop party to the Taylor Swift event, her creativity and attention to detail really shine.
What sets her apart is the personal touch, she remembers my niece by name and always makes us feel welcome. Because of Neveah’s outstanding service, I choose to drive to the Durham location even though the Raleigh rink is only five minutes from my home.
Neveah is an incredible manager and a true asset to Wheels Durham. If you’re visiting, be sure to see her!

Great time! The facility is well maintained and clean. I absolutely loved getting photos against the neon paint. The colors really pop! They were out of a few of the food items but what they did have was good.

Five stars for the way the staff treated my family, my fiancé’s son was learning to skate and the staff was overly patient with him. Several staff members even jumped into the skating ring to give him tips on how to keep his balance. When my fiance fell, they rushed over to bring her water and check on her. The assistant manager on 8/17 and the staff went above and beyond which left a great impression on me and my family.

Super excited to have this iconic Durham hangout again. My kids are just getting old enough to enjoy it and I hosted my daughter's 11 birthday there on a Friday night. As mentioned in other reviews, we had some issues getting through security, getting skates for the kids, and general customer service issues. However, after letting the management know about the issues, they were very gracious and professional. We have been back during the day (better for the kids anyway) and had a great time. I saw the kind manager working his tail off. He was at the front, working in the cafe, then cleaning up. This guy has his work cut out for him and I hope he is appreciated and given the support he needs. Kids are growing up in such a bizarre, paranoid society these days. While there is room for improvement, I'll continue to support Our Wheels, and cheer it on as a special place to make memories.

An amazing experience! I took my church Youth group and we were giving a great group rate! It was easy to check everyone in and all the managers on duty, security and employees in the inside renting out skates were so nice and professional! Additionally, they helped with the kids and teens that were still learning to skate which I greatly appreciated. I will certainly be a back; if you're considering coming you certainly won't regret it.

We enjoyed the bday party we booked for my 8 year old. The hostess was helpful and kept track of our chaotic group very well. The lack of 5th star was due to a slight miscommunication and expectation of the decorating and arrival time. The website explained that we could drop off decorations for the staff to set up. They set up some but said they were not allowed to blow up the balloons. That would have been nice to know in advance so I could have blown them up and brought them with me. Additionally, the website said we could arrive 15 min early to finalize set up, but they wouldn’t let us in until the party time started. Other than that, it was a great event. Thank you.

I love the new look of Wheels. Had my daughter’s party there. The party hostess Nevaeh could not have been better. She was nice and patient and made sure we hab everything we needed to make this a happy event. Before you go make sure you only take a clear bag as it is heavily enforced and complete your waivers online for all adults and kids beforehand.

Love the rink. Brand new floor, decent DJs, with some versatility to it. It's a good mixture of casual and above average skaters so anyone can go and have a good time. I just wish they had black lines to differentiate the middle of the floor from the outside. Just so new skaters or people working on middle work dont clash with those on the outside. Other than that, the rink is worth trying.
