Wow, how cool! I really liked it. To be honest, this place was very good. My friends and my children loved it. The food is affordable, not expensive. The girl serving the churros was very friendly. The water was good. Everything was very nice.

We love this place! On a cold, winter day, coming here feels like a mini vacation! It's the largest indoor wave pool in the USA. Buy your tickets on your phone and just show your downloaded pass at the gate it get in!

From the moment you step onto the ice, everything else fades away. The cool air, skates gliding, laughter—it’s one of those rare moments of pure happiness. This beautifully maintained rink has smooth ice, making every glide feel effortless. Whether holding hands, watching kids gain confidence, or skating yourself, the experience feels special. The warm, welcoming staff, clean space, and energy-filled atmosphere make it more than just skating—it’s memories being made. A perfect escape! I’d come back again and again. The American Dream ice skating rink provides a fantastic, memorable experience for all ages and skill levels. The rink is well-lit, the music is upbeat, and the overall environment is incredibly inviting, making it the perfect place for a fun-filled day.

American Dream mall has something for everyone. Whether you're a baby or a senior citizen there is something to do that you can have fun. They have almost every store to shop in imaginable as well as fun activities that you and your family can enjoy. Beat part is it's all in just one mall. I don't think you could possibly do everything in one day.

As beginners, our children had an awesome time practicing with their skates that were available for rental. They especially enjoyed skating with the "walkers" to assist them! Thanks for a fun outing!
