I haven’t skated in years. Decided to get back into it and get some new skates. Casey helped me out. Very knowledgable, attentive, and patient. If you need skating gear, I recommend you go and see him. Cool place too. Can’t wait to try it out.

I bought brand new rollerblading wheels here, I even bought the tool to remove the bearings out of the wheels. I got home and had the hardest time taking my wheels off. I just couldnt do it. I called the store back and asked how much they would charge me to switch out all my wheels for me and they said no charge because I bought my wheels there. The guy stood there for about 15 minutes removing all of my wheels and bearings and exchanging them out. I couldnt believe it! The guys here at the store literally go out of their way for you. I will always come back here for all my roller blading and skating needs.

3 star rating as a whole . Park : 5 star .. its huge, and has a bit of everything for everyone at any skillset . Pro Shop : 4 star . lots of clothes, safety gear, shoes, boots etc. -1 star because NOTHING for bikes . Finally, the 3 star : bikes allowed for 2 hours twice a week ?! Cmon . its a shame driving past here on my way to a different park that allows bikes more frequently. Really is a cool park though . Very fun place to ride

Its a local sk8 shop and ramp place for all levels. So much love.

Great place, my son took a skate boarding lesson here and loved it. I got a great deal on 4 lessons through groupon.

Shop was well stocked and employees were great. I love this park and will try to visit everytime I come from Florida on vacation.

Best local skate shop! They had a great selection of roller skates despite the national shortage. Staff was helpful and informative. Highly recommend!

The boys had a good time. Just lower your expectations before you enter. Its a converted warehouse = over-used furniture, dusty and a whole-lotta grunge-e-ness. They do however have a fantastic skate shop. Membership $ is reasonable.

So helpful! The only place we found with roller skates. Perfect for finding my kiddos first pair, and my first pair in 20+ yrs.

Great skate shop. Super helpful and friendly staff!

The staff is amazingly patient; helped my son with his first skateboard purchase and helped me with my MANY quad skate questions- I never felt rushed. The skatepark is serious and open to quad skates, skateboards, inline skates and scooters. Stop by, you won’t regret it.

We brought our daughter and friends here for birthday fun. I love that they are rewarded for good grades in school. The girls were inexperienced and were provided some instruction. All employees were extremely patient and friendly. We will definitely be visiting again.

Gettin back in2 the skating game (roller) after yearssssss out, Jordan was kind enough to help find the right skate for me (flat feet and no arch), laced em up 4 me and swapped out the wheels (had to get blue). Good experience!

This skate park is AMAZING! The private instructor (Ben) he is the best, he is a great teacher. Must try again!

Awesome place. Lots of cool ramps. Your will have a great time there. The owner is nice guy who takes care of his customers. I recommend Modern Skate & Surf to everyone

This is a review for the shop as much as the facility - I’m a former skateboarder-turned-lame-adult and took my gf’s kid here to get a nondescript rattle fixed in his scooter. Tyler and the whole Sunday morning crew were sooo cool to he and I, fixed the scooter with spare parts they had on hand, let us play with their giant kendama, and just had great attitudes and vibes. We’re always treated great there, but today was like above and beyond. Thanks again guys!!

Great Park. I go here every Friday night. They have a nice variety of obstacles and everything is pretty well maintained. The store has a lot to offer too.

Been taking my daughter to the drop in group lessons. She has been to two so far. On the way home today she told me she loves skateboarding! Ive been using the Groupon so the price is great. The only reason that I didnt rate 5 stars is because the level of instruction had been variable with class size. The first time she had a lot of instruction because there werent many other kids. This time a lot of kids, not as much instruction.

My son loved this place, found a hoodie hes been looking for, my daughter loved it to. Looking forward to go back, great customer service

Great place.. huge selection and friendly staff. Prices were great.

The best SKATE PARK EVER I had a private lesson from a trainer named ben came in on his OFF DAY and taught my brother and I and helped me drop in for the first time and helped and held me the entire time one of the best skate parkes ever😃😄😃

Highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys indoor skating. They also have an indoor shop if you would like to buy skateboards, longboards, roller blades, and everything under the sun you can possibly need. Also they have an amazing staff team, incredibly helpful. I come back time and time again for anything I need since their customer service can not be beat.

I definitely have a great sesh . When I injured or shredding. The atmosphere and Vibe is solid.Great place to meet new people.

If you’re in search of skates, roller blades, skateboards, or just want to come have a good time Modern Skatepark is the place to be!!! Come here the staff is awesome Lennon was very helpful and polite.I will definitely be back for any of my skating needs!!!😊😁😄

Lennon was incredible! Shopping here was a wonderful experience. I will be going back again.

Superior customer service! Shane and staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Overall great experience renting a snowboard. Don’t wait until you get to the ski resort to rent. Far better options here!

Fantastic indoor park. Arguably the best in MI. It has multitudes of the same type of obstacles and has street and vert covered completely. This is where the heavy hitters come...expect to not be able to use the park with complete autonomy if youre new to skating. The shop is pretty good too, the staff arent posers and know what theyre talking about. Dont expect to find Tiagos in stock though 😅

This is a great park. While sometimes it can be really busy and overwhelming, typically its not too terrible and it being so spacious makes it less of an issue. The staff is very helpful, and I love that the environment there doesnt make roller skaters feel uncomfortable like some parks do. They have a great shop, which has so many things for roller skaters that most parks dont. They sell boots, plates, wheels, toe stops, you name it! They will also take the time to help you replace bearings and wheels, and can do mounting services as well. It can be a little dusty, but with a park that size and the amount of skaters that visit it isnt unbearably dirty and they clean it at least weekly from what Ive seen. Vending machines offer cold drinks while youre skating, and pre-COVID they sold pizza slices if you got hungry. (Not sure if theyre doing that still due to COVID.) I wish this park was closer to home for me, but its worth the two hour drive. It can be a bit expensive, but is worth it when you consider the amount of skate space offered.

This place was so nice! When I went and got my board, one of the employees Tyler was so helpful. Im so excited to come back next time to skate!

I went to buy skates and the guys there were very helpful and experienced.

This is a great place, took my daughter to get her own custom board and the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable.

I really miss the Bitter Cold Showdown that was held here for many years. The park was always very accommodating to rollerbladers, which is rare these days. If I ever come through Detroit again, Ill make sure to stop by!

I called their local place in East Lansing. Local area code etc. I drive a half hour to get there and park in a parking ramp and walk with 2 pairs of skates. It is 2 degrees but whatever. I go to where my GPS says is the location, and it isnt there. I call the 517 area code back (Mid Michigan) and they say they are no longer at that location. Havent been there for years! They are only in Royal Oak which is an hour and a half from where I am. Then blame it on Google. If you know your location is being reported as hours away, why the hell wouldnt you at least disconnect the number from that area code or have employees ensure the people are inquiring about the right location? Waste of time and gas. If you cant trust them to do basic business operations like ensuring your 517 area code number is canceled and get that address removed, I wouldnt trust them with a dang thing.

Filthy. Worn out surfaces. High prices. Bad design. Waste of time.

I recently had a class here (about 30 mins ago haha). I’ve never really rode before and I was older than all the kids in my group class. Therefore I was nervous. But I really enjoyed it and felt comfortable a few minutes in. Everyone was very kind and encouraging. The teacher was helpful and overall great. Unfortunately, I can’t remember who taught my group lesson. (probably doesn’t help but he had a beard!)

I’ve been to Modern for an open skate and a private lesson and both were awesome experiences. There are a ton of obstacles for both beginners and higher level skaters. I also recommend Cory if you are interested in private skateboarding lessons. He was knowledgeable when I asked him questions, showed me a variety of obstacles if I was comfortable with them, and he helped me with any tricks/techniques that I wanted to practice. I will definitely be coming back to Modern again in the future!

Best indoor park in Michigan with a awesome shop

Best place to ride in Michigan hands down

I fell flat on my face so that is why it was not 5 stars but the park is very nice

Definitely one of the best. But the heat is crazy.

Modern is one of the best indoor skateparks in the country. Not only does this place have ramps and obstacles for beginners all the way up to professionals it also very well built and planned out. The staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. The icing on the cake is how well it’s setup with a pro shop and plenty of open area for parents and spectators. I’ve never had one bad experience at this skatepark in the 10 years I’ve been going to it. Even if you’re from out of town it’s worth a day trip. Thank you Modern for being here for the riding community.

Modern is an icon of Michigan skateboarding. George has been pushing it in MI for 40 years in all different locations in this state. Know that Modern is a specific thing - it is a huge warehouse skatepark, and it is indoor so you can skate all winter. The ramps are all wood, so they are easier on the body than concrete, and they keep them in good repair. The shop is fairly deep and they’ve got everything that you need. People feel some kind of way that Modern also supports roller skates/blades and scooters, but this is how you stay open 40 years. If you’ve got young kids and you need them kitted up and in a space where they can blow out their energy, this is it

My kids and I love this skate park.

Got my first longboard, aggressive skate and my sisters first real scooter! They have a lovely park that is clear in the summers but a lil crowded in the winter. Their shop is a little expensive but they have amazing quality!

Ive heard great things about this place through my friends. I went here yesterday for the first time and I would 100000% agree! Its an amazing skatepark with ramps for different levels of skaters. I didnt see any major holes in ramps like I do at other skateparks, which makes skating a lot more easier and relaxing. My one slight note for the place is a little bit more air conditioning and more parts for scooters in the shop. But other than that, I would definitely recommend trying this skatepark out and they will be seeing me back very soon!

Great park, gets too busy though and extremely dusty inside. They definitely need to spend more time keeping the park clean, dont even think about skating street wheels in here youll literally die

Cool indoor skate park

My favorite place to skate

All the young men that worked there were very nice. They did a great job on my skates

Super chill place, first time riding a bmx here and it was super fun. Employees are cool and so are the skaters. Great variety on ramps pipes and everything you need.

Best ppace on earth! A skaters utopia,

We had inline skates training with Zach, he is an amazing teacher and person.Ive learned a lot more than what I thought initially and had lots of fun.I would definitely recommend this place for everyone. and the training if its your first time like me to enjoy skating properly and safely.

Best indoor park around by far. Been in business for 40 years and still going strong. Keep it up George!

Great for a childs birthday party!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great selection!

Love this Park!! This is our winter home when it’s too cold to skate outdoors

Awesome people & great place to get aggressive skates

I didnt buy anything but everyone was eager to help me save Tony Hawk. Who ended up not needing our help... 10 stars!

The best skatepark I have ever been to. I got way better at skateboarding in 1 hour. Lots of different obstacles, and lots of fun. Keep it up!

I was hung up on by a frustrated? employee after my simple question on board selection, 5/12/21, (35 second call with ringing).

The kids all looked like they were having a ton of fun. Cool place. Lots of seating for parents. Nice shop also.

My kid loves it here.

Amazing service. Very friendly and helpful.

Awesome place they helped me pick out a really cool snowboard

Super cool place to take your skater! Friendly staff! I had so much fun watching everyone do sweet tricks! The skate park is huge! Has everything a skateboarder could dream of

Best place to get your snowboard waxed and Sharpened they made it look brand new.

Such a great place! Skate park is huge and staff is super super friendly. Family oriented, but still cool for most everyone.These people are all about the sport and hobby of skate boarding. Obviously in michigan, not so much on the surfing, but lots of surf boarding stuff.Rollerblades, roller skates, skooters and longboards are also very prominent in the store and in the in door park.There is a parents room with some sound isolation and wifi available, which is nice to take a break from the skate park.The store attendant made a huge point to help my son pick out his new board and spent 15 minutes searching the building for a limited edition board that we thought for sure would not be available! He then helped hand pick trucks, bearings, wheels, and THEN dug through new inventory for a special Star Wars; The Mandalorian grip tape that my son went NUTS for!Im so happy with this place, I have nothing but the best things to say, thank you so much for out of towners feeling at home and getting the help with a some what intimidating purchase!

High quality goods with amazing customer service! Even when the supplier messed up my order, the staff was so kind and timely in getting the order resolved. Even if the chaos of COVID, they are making sure their customers get the best service. Thank you to Lisa for all of her help! I do recommend and I will shop here again.

Good selection, very friendly & helpful!

Such an awesome experience. My sister and I came in for our first complete board set ups yesterday. Jordan was so sweet, helpful, and really informative. Would totally recommend, look forward to visiting again 😊 #GirlsWhoSkate

Fun ramps cool people Ive only been there a few times but the drive up from Toledo was worth it all the staff was friendly and helpful and it looks like they have a really good skate shop inside of there its usually pretty crowded and it is worth the money

It was very good, but some of the ramps need to be to done ✅✅ very cheap and fun

Great park with lots of different sized ramps and pipes.

I had an amazing experience! i was helped by Jordan(j-lit). He was very kind and helpful! i’ll definitely be coming back!

I am so impressed with Modern Skate & Surf. I bought a pair of roller skates from the online store and they shipped extremely fast (even during a pandemic)! And they arrived very quickly all the way to me in California. I will definitely be ordering more skate goodies from them in the future!

Had a blast for my first time ever there

I called earlier in the week to get info on some skates. The guy was super nice and helpful. I ended up going to the shop to buy some Roces M12s. The guys were all working hard when I arrived, greeted me, and helped me get my skates. Ive been having so much fun and will definitely be back to try out the park and buy more gear!

1-star review due to their stickers are littered and illegally placed on multiple signs in Alabama and Mississippi. I took the time to photograph the damage, alert the DOT and offered to remove them.

Staff are completely disinterested in helping customers. Was not even acknowledged until I grabbed an expensive board, and even then staff rushed me through check out. Now I have to go elsewhere to get protective gear and shoes. Alright stock if you know what your doing (I’d assume) but if your looking for help, go elsewhere.

Knowlegable guys, great to work with. Maybe a bit pricey, but very helpful and pleasant. Worth the trip.

Went and got rollerblades today, they were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. I even asked if they knew where another business was and the kid looked it up and told me how to get there since I am not from the area. Great experience will recommend.

One stop shop for skate equipment.

The staff is Awesome! Very helpful and informative. Great atmosphere! My daughter cant wait to return.

Dont bother going here if you ride bmx. website says nothing about limited times or days show up and sign up only to find out that bmx is only allowed 2 days a week and only for 2 hrs??? why would I waste paying for only two hrs. what a joke

The last of the big skate/snow shops. Park is ridiculously huge, store has anything and everything skateboard-snowboard related. Super friendly staff, very informative. Stopped on way back to Ohio. Tons of everything, great display of vintage, collectible, autographed decks. Our 3 year old loves her new Vans!!! Thanks guys!!!

Hello George . im writing this review with an unfortunate issue at hand . i speak for numerous people when i say that the neglect you & your management have for the safety/well-being of your skaters is extremely poor & disappointing . on a number of occasions, a boy by the name of Mikey Taylor has harassed, & made quite a few people uncomfortable with laughter as the response from your team . i expect that you will feel sorry for my experience but i dont want you to . i want you to fix the root of this issue so myself & others can enjoy your establishment as much as the next person . this Mikey Taylor likes to get into peoples faces in a threatening manor & has made people feel extremely uncomfortable & unsafe . please be responsible & get a handle on this ! until then, NEGATIVE 10 stars .

Its chill fun and never get old

Great time

Went in to buy trucks. They tried to sell me mask instead. Save your time go to zero gravity or exodus

Its really the only indoor skate place in Michigan. There are others, but they are subpar. The only problem with modern is that the ramps get quite Dusty and therefore slippery. The floors are also pretty slippery. I realize theres not much they can do about this. I think if they try to make it look a little cleaner and nicer for parents to hang out oh, that would be a big plus.In response to the owner: nicer couches, reasonable TV, more lighting. Im sure a coffee cart would go a long way and maybe make you some $. Try to sweep the half pipes more often. Just think about it from a parents perspective... like how could I make this place more comfortable for the moms/dads who are waiting a couple of hours. Though I realize you guys are probably on a tight budget.

Great selection and great staff!🤙

Just bought my first board in 20 years. not a bad deal and everyone was cool. feels great to be out shredding the gnar on the streets again.

I skate there all the time. Great vibes from staff and other skaters. Always clean yet not as slippery as you hear about, you get used to it quick. For what you pay, you get access to a TON of space and obstacles of basically any size and style you like. Family friendly, and usually great music playing.

Great place for kids who love to skateboard and scooter!

Amazing skatepark strongly recommend

Great place to shop for gear, accessories, understand clothing and gifts. Very helpful staff and Shane is a customer service pro in the making.

My favorite indoor park by far!!! Staff is so awesome and friendly and the possibilities are endless the whole flow of the park is just perfect!!

Bought my first skateboard here a month ago. Staff was super nice and helpful!

Only giving five stars cause theres not a rating high enough for modern skate. Great park well kept smooth and very fast. Staff is super knowledgeable and are extremely knowledgeable in the products they sell. I cant stop enough to express how grateful I am to have got to skate there its a bucket list destination if there ever was one.

I shop safety equipment there. Knowledgeable staff, huge selection.Ive never tried the park: I ride a OneWheel and Im more a cruiser than a skater doing stunts on the half pipes, but it looks like they have a lot of fun, well built ramps and stuff for the people who do, as well as a great range of classes.
