Florida Wheels, 3611 3rd St West, Bradenton, FL
Florida Wheels was a rink in Bradenton, which sits between Tampa and Saratoga. This rink did not have much information except for Yelp explained it is closed which was reported by skaters.
However, the rink is still in operations AS Astro Skate and Fun Center according to several websites. This confuses to some skaters like you reading about it. It was rebooted by new management. There are no information regarding to opening and closing. ON Travel Advisor website, which rates similar idea to Yelp would do. Well, people are saying that it was new management and nothing it says it was open.
Unfortunately I could not go on except it is now called Astro Skate and Fun Center. I would appreciate photographs of Florida Wheels before it became Astro and information as well.
