We went to Wheels Durham for the opening weekend and had a great time with our 5yo. This space is very clean, well organized, with ample rink space and seating space. Be mindful that you will want to buy tickets in advance, particularly for the Kidz Bop early skate on the weekends—people were turned away at the door. Also, no bags are allowed or small clear bags. Also, no food or drink are permitted to enter. Overall good experience.

My family went on Sunday and had a great time! The opening week required online tickets to be pre-purchased and we missed seeing that in the flyer which was a bit frustrating. We needed up getting tickets for the next session at 3:30. But I understand the need to control the crowd with a new establishment.
Once inside the music, lighting, staff and venue were great. I brought my own skates and they rolled so well in the new floor.
My family and I will definitely be returning and we can’t wait for the splash park and other additions to come!

So happy it's back! Would recommend investing in a stationary medal detector at the door. The wand is cumbersome and slows down the process. Only a certain number should be let into the lobby area at a time. I think the shows should be gathered with the skate dispersment. Only because the moment someone's shoes gets stolen it will be an issue. Lastly, more staff at on concessions at night. It was complete chaos. Sweet staff, but they were not prepared. It was overwhelming for them.
Hoping that things get better as time goes on. Durham needed this place back...with an ironing out of some of the kinks I think it will a great new spot for the community.

I came for the adult night Monday and Friday. I think it was pretty nice except that the music that the DJ. Plays is aim more towards Popular skate styles and not the public who really just want to come hear popular music enjoy,have fun.and not being asked to clear the floor , to watch the Popular skater give a show. get it together

Had a great time for the first Monday night skate. Finally an Adult skate night for Monday nights. Plenty of parking onsite.
Rink is a decent size.
