Do I need to buy tickets in advance?
We highly recommend it! Buying online guarantees your spot—we may sell out, and don’t want you missing out on the fun.
Do you rent skates?
Yes! We now have our own beautiful rental skates in a full range of sizes (J7 to adult 16), plus helmets and protective gear available for purchase.
Can I bring my own skates?
Absolutely! Just make sure they’re clean and in good condition—no missing wheels, loose parts, or sharp edges.
Do you have inline skates for rent?
Not yet, but we hope to add some soon to our fleet of rental skates. If you already own your own inline skates, feel free to bring them!
Do I need to sign a waiver?
Yes. All skaters must have a signed waiver before hitting the floor. Save time by filling it out online before you arrive.
Do you have skate trainers for beginners?
Yes! We offer Skate Mate rentals during kids and family sessions so new skaters can get rolling with confidence.
Is there a dress code?
Wear comfortable clothes and socks. We recommend avoiding long, loose clothing that could get caught in wheels.
Can I host a birthday party or private event?
Absolutely! We offer birthday party packages (including a private party room) and private rink rentals—perfect for groups, schools, or corporate events.
Do you have food and drinks?
Yes! Our café serves tasty snacks and drinks to keep you fueled up for more skating.
Is there parking available?
Yes, there is a lot of parking on Fairground Road. If you see the signs that say “No parking between 3AM and 5AM,” note that it refers to AM—this sign is just making sure you don’t leave your car overnight!
What kind of music do you play?
Our DJs spin a mix of upbeat, squeaky-clean hits perfect for skating—plus special songs for themed skates, games, and requests (when appropriate).
What’s the minimum age to skate?
We welcome skaters of all ages, but young children should be able to stand and balance on their own. Our smallest skate is is J7. Skate Mates are available to help little ones.
What’s your largest skate size?
We go all the way up to size 16, although we have only two pairs in this size (and we’ve never rented them both out at the same time). We have three size 15, and four size 14!
