Tiny Tots Roller Skating
With brighter lights and more kid-friendly music, this event is aimed at families with younger families so that they can have a special time to learn how to skate. Althought it’s intended for ages 5 and under, parents feel free to bring your older siblings, too!
Parents, come and enjoy these “freedoms” not typically permitted at the rink:
-BRING IN YOUR OWN BREAKFAST. Sit in our concessions area and enjoy your breakfast and maybe even our FREE WIFI as the kids are skating.
-WALK AROUND ON THE RINK (in socks) while assisting your little ones.
-USE OUR SKATE MATES FOR FREE so your beginning skaters can have something else to hold onto (besides your hand or the wall).
Having a family of our own with 5 kids, we know how hard it is to find an affordable, indoor place (from out of the rain), to allow your little ones to exercise and have fun. Besides, we might just be there and join you, as well, with our newborn twins! Remember, strollers are welcome, too!
