You have questions, we have answers!
Below you’ll find important information about roller skating at our rink, throwing a birthday party, special event and group information, and general topics about what to expect during your visit.
Roller Skating
When are you open today and what will it cost?
Our schedule and admission price will vary depending on the day. The easiest way to know our schedule is to visit our schedule and events page.
How much does it cost to rent skates?
Roller Skates and Roller Blades are $8.00 to rent. Socks must be worn with our rental skates.
What does it cost if you are not skating?
There are no spectator fees when accompanying a skater.
What size skates do you have available for rent?
Adjustable skates are the smallest size we offer, which start at a toddler size 6. They are adjustable skates that can be worn by a toddler with their shoes on making their first roller skating experience more comfortable. All of our rental skates are Men’s sizes, and the largest skate size we carry is a men’s size 15.
What types of rental skates do you have?
We have regular roller skates, also known as quads. We also have inline skates/rollerblades available.
Can I bring my own skates?
You can bring your own skates with a few exceptions: They must have toe stops on quad skates, or heel breaks on inline skates. Finally the axles cannot extend outside of the roller skate wheel. This can cause serious damage to the skate floor. If you do bring your own skates, please be prepared to have them checked at admission before entering.
Can you tighten the wheels on our rental skates?
We cannot tighten the wheels on our skates. We want the wheels to be able to freely spin around the axle. If you or your child would like help with skating we do have skatemates to rent that provide extra stability when skating.
If my personal skates need to be adjusted or fixed do you have anyone available to make adjustments?
We are not allowed to make any adjustments or fix skates.
Will someone be available to help teach me or my child how to skate?
During every roller skating session we have certified and trained floor guards who control traffic in all areas of our skate floor. Our floor guards are trained to keep an eye out for everyone’s safety on the skate floor. If you need direct assistance on the skate floor we highly recommend that you rent a skate mate. Skate mates are walkers with wheels designed to help you keep your balance while skating.
Do you offer skating lessons?
Yes! Lessons are offered for children and adults every Thursday from 6-7pm. Admission is $20 and includes skate rental and wrist guards.
