Drove from Round Rock, TX to visit Wheels Family Skating Center for the first time. It was a :45 minute drive for us and worth it. For a Saturday night (6pm-9pm), it was not crowded. I completed the waiver and payment online. We arrived at 5:55pm and walked right on in to receive our bracelets. Love that you can choose between quad and in-line skates for no extra charge. Nice selection at the concession stand. We ate chicken tenders, fries, sausage pizza, frito pie, and chocolate chip cookies. Price for entry and food was reasonable. The entire establishment was clean including the restrooms. The skate floor was smooth as well.
The rest of the reviews are true when it comes to music selection. I'm definitely glad I had my headphones so I could listen to my own tunes. Trust you will need them.
Overall great experience and will return!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chris S.Belton, TX6193Mar 10, 2023
This is where you should skate. Period.
Highly recommend the family skate on sundays. This will make my 10th time or so of many years. Recently implemented an app that tracks your visits and gives a free one for every six.
I have 6 kids, so that makes a free one per visit. When they play the "4 corner" game is spread the family out and get at least one more free visit (shhhhhh).
Pros:
Had a birthday party there and loved it. Kids loved it.
Clean! Even the bathrooms!
Floor is straight and taken care of.
Staff-just nice. Hard to find non-ass people these days :)
Skates: quads and blades. Kids love the options
Food: nothing bad! Not expensive.
Cons:
I have not won the Powerball.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tiana B.TX, TX02Oct 2, 2022

This place charges full price for people that are not skating! I get that there is only so much room but they could at least charge half price for non skating admission since they are not having to clean and provide the skates that they say are included in "general admission". The lady at the front was also rude when I asked about the entrance fee. It was also hot even though it was empty when we arrived.

Old school roller skating rink that is uber family friendly.
They are open for two hours on Saturdays and my family has a fun active time together. Tons of kids and parents skating with a center area for beginners.
A real blast and great way to kick off Saturday mornings!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - J W.Austin, TX04Oct 14, 2021
Went last Sunday. Not busy at all, a couple of birthday parties but not crowded. Nice clean place. Staff was very friendly, good variety of music. The ability to do the liability waiver and pay admission on line us a big plus. Medium in size floor was pretty good, one rough area but not enough to cause issues. Want to go back for throw back night. Will go back again.

Awesome place to rent for birthday parties! My two kiddos Celebrated their birthdays here a week ago and are still talking about it. Super friendly staff, clean environment, and family friendly music. Staff handles all set up and clean up which left this momma free to sit back and create memories.

The place is clean and the music (Sunday afternoon, 2nd session) wasn't inappropriate for my 5 year old. I'd say it's considerably better than the Belton or Killeen roller rinks.
Thought it was pretty neat they have two types of assist accessories for young children who can't skate or rollerblade.
I do wish they had popcorn for non birthday customers though.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - K. S.Trace Ridge, Fort Worth, TX026Feb 18, 2018
We love Wheels! I found Wheels when we lived in Killeen and it was worth the drive for us. My kids had gone to a party at the Killeen rink and they were almost getting run over by teenagers. Wheels is a much more family friendly place. They have appropriate music, and younger kids earlier in the day.

When my husband was deployed I would take the kids every Saturday morning. At first, they were constantly falling and I had to help hold them up, but at the end of a year they were flying around the rink, skating backwards, and doing the limbo competition. They also have a great deal for skating lessons, which helped them and got us out of the summer heat.
.
The owners and staff are so incredibly nice, and now that we have moved I miss them! Overall, the place is nice. It has been well taken care of, and even all of my adult friends had fun hanging out and eating nachos and cheese fries while the kids skated.
.
The only negative that I can think of is the parking lot. It is hard to maneuver around, with all of the dips, but I'm not sure they have control over that.
.
Overall, it's a great place to take your kids to get some exercise and learn a new skill!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - David M.Raeford, NC04Jun 13, 2019Updated review
Wheels is owned/operated by a family passionate about roller skating and their community. It is a great experience from the time they greet you at the door. I like the Tuesday evening session where they spin 70s, 80s and 90s music we big kids remember from back in the day. Thanks for turning back time a bit; I'll be back next time I'm in the area.

I was in Killeen for a few weeks and made the little trek to Temple. It was worth the trip. Friday night was for families, but Tuesday night is the right time to go for adults for some good 70s, 80s, and 90s skating music. The rental skates are in good shape and are maintained! They boast $2 specials on selected items as well. Folks were really welcoming; I'll be back if I ever come out that way again!
