We had our son's 10th birthday party here. For $100 we felt like it was a great value for the $. You pay by the hour, not by the person. All skateboards, pads and helmets are included. You get an hour of time in the park to yourselves (no instructor, that is extra). Kids who don't skateboard can bring their own bikes, roller blades or scooters. Then you get a 1/2 hour of time in the "lounge" in back for cake, food, presents or just chilling out. I arranged to have Marco's Pizza delivered 15 minutes before the kids were due to be done in the park and it worked out great.

You need to supply all your own stuff (drinks, plates, candles, matches, cake cutter, etc). Its bare bones. But c'mon, it is a skate park!

We went to Talent last weekend for the first time to let my 8 year old skate during their beginner session. I don't know why it has taken me so long to go to this place, but I am now a huge fan. I was impressed by the customer service of the staff and how my son was treated. They saw he felt a bit uncomfortable skating around since he is still learning so they asked one of their coaches to spend some time with him. Seeing the big smile on his face when he accomplished something without falling just made my heart melt. I will certainly return and I look forward to taking advantage of their private lessons, camps and birthday parties in the future....more

My 7 year old son participated in the 5 day camp over February break. It ran from 9-3. Extremely well run camp, by some really great kids/instructors. They start the camp with skoga (skate yoga) then break up into groups by level. Lots of instruction in the morning, and then free skate in the afternoon, followed by a closing group session in the afternoon to discuss what you liked best. Very supportive environment. I was trying to get my son to take a day off during the week, but he wouldn't do it. He loved this camp. The skoaches (skate coaches) greeted him warmly each day, great team building despite the individuality of the sport, and Hannah and/or her husband were there running the place every day with a smile and hello. I never doubted that he was in good hands. A couple of bumps and bruises resulted from the week, but overall, his skating improved 10-fold, and he LOVED hanging out at talent. It's not 'punky' at all, and well worth the money if your kid likes to skate....more

My son, age 8, and daughter, age 6, both participated in the one day camp over Presidents Day last year and a weeklong camp during the summer. My son skateboarded and my daughter roller bladed. They had a blast at both, and I felt comfortable leaving them there for the day. I picked them up sweaty and tired, but very happy.

What a great place! My son started going when he was 5 and has attended the camp several times. It's one of his favorite things to do and he always asks to go back whenever he has a vacation from school.

My son loves this camp. Hannah and staff do a great job of keeping all the kids needs met and makes you feel like they are in good hands. I feel confident that if there was ever an issue or injury they are competent enough to track me down and take care the situation. Its also becoming my one stop for my sons clothes and shoes too. They start at about clothing boys size 8 and have all shoe sizes - babies to adult men and women. You can rent it for an hour or two for birthday parties and then set up in the back for cake and presents. They sell small stuff for goodie bag and as a guest you can just pick up a present or a gift certificate the morning of the party. They work hard and making it all very easy....more

My 9 year old son attended 2 days of vacation camp and had a blast. He's a beginner but he fit right in with the other more experienced kids. The staff and owner (Hannah) are very attentive and help create a fun, safe and exciting experience.
