Not the best rink. Stuck here all weekend. The rink is a single sheet and the locker rooms are small. The rink is also overly cold for an ice rink. There is not much standing room if you are a board parent. The glass is also overly marked up. It is what it is.

I have visited this rink and rated it a bit better. This visit was not as pleasant. The rink was asked to host various hockey games in a local tournament and undoubtedly was not inspected by the tournament before hand. When you have an Illinois hockey tournament that draws in teams from various states, like Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin and of course Illinois, I would think that the game spacing and start times should never be moved up to save time. People pay a lot of money to participate in the tournament, including at times air fare, also hotels and enjoying local restaurants. When you push things forward you are only hurting those that paid to be there. The rink should have been accountable for the parking lot surface, horrible at this facility, and having the services like LiveBarn up and usable. Staffing seemed to be slim at best, not keeping up with the flow of people using their bathrooms and being able to answer questions. The rink appears to be old, I get it, however it still could have been a better experience. Maybe not all of this falls on the rinks shoulders, if not the tournament's directors should much more watchful. Concession stand and bar restaurant area was up and running, always a good thing to see. 3+ at best during this visit.

Was there for our grandsons tournament game yesterday. Brought my 92 year old dad. It was so very cold inside and even though we came dressed for the cold it was uncomfortable. The bleachers were hard to maneuver for many and there were very high steps. Be aware if you go there. The game was great however. Our grandson skated on ice my daughter skated on 35 years ago.

Why do you still not have public skate claiming it’s due to COVID? I asked about birthday parties at the facility using the email on the website. Got a rude reply. After that, I am happy to give Crystal Ice House my business and money. Thank you for making it easy.

This place is old and dingy in the rink. The ice was terrible when we skates, could be bad temp of the place or hot pucks because they were constantly sticking to the ice when playing. The inside was much more updated and nicer looking than the outside, which looked like an abandoned building... The employees were nice though, so that was refreshing.

This place gets three stars because the staff is great there. As far as the rink goes it's freezing cold and the ice is always in terrible shape due to the humidity.

Barrington is Barrington. If you are looking for a sheet of ice in these COVID days, it is a good choice. Limited amenities. Hopefully as we transition to normalcy the amenities level increases....every where
