5 Non-Birthday Reasons to Party at the Skating Rink

Graduation Parties

With the end of the academic year right around the corner, it’s time to book graduation parties. Celebrate your child’s (or your own!) scholastic milestone with a party that all of your friends and family can enjoy. Whether you’re celebrating a graduating high school senior, undergrad, graduate, or another milestone like passing the bar or doing well on the MCAT or LSAT, a skating party provides an opportunity to reward the honoree for all of their hard work. 

End of Year Class Parties

It has been a wild year for students and teachers thanks to the pandemic, and having to do school remotely has been hard for everyone. Kids may be missing their classmates and feeling isolated, so why not plan an end of the year class party to cheer them up? Now that more people are getting vaccinated, a class party could be the perfect way to break the ice and help kids reconnect with their peers. 

Team Parties

Sports team parties are usually pretty simple—pizzas, sodas, a speech from the coach or parents, and maybe some trophies. That’s all well and good, but why limit it to a restaurant where the kids will be bored with nothing to do? Instead, host a team pizza party at the skating rink! You can still have all the staples of a classic team party, but instead of making a mess on the tables or running around tripping waiters after they’re done with their pizza, the kids can go work off some energy on the skating rink.
Skating is not only a really good source of aerobic exercise, but it’s also fun and social, making it a perfect team bonding activity. The stronger those friendships are off the field/court/track/etc., the better the team will perform when the pressure’s on!   

Pre-Wedding Parties

A wedding is not just a party. Oh, no. It’s the culmination of an entire series of parties, from the engagement party to the wedding showers to the bachelor and bachelorette parties. If playing typical wedding shower games sounds painfully boring, or you want to plan a pre-wedding event that guests will actually enjoy, a roller skating party is the way to go.
Our spacious skating rink is perfect for private or public events when you want to entertain a crowd. Skating provides a great atmosphere for mingling, letting loose, and having fun together, all of which are important when bringing families together… Not to mention throwing your wedding party members into the mix! Don’t stress about your college roommate, your sister, your BFF, and your soon-to-be in-laws getting along; after a night of food, music, and roller skating, the ice will be broken! Everyone will be more comfortable with each other when your big day rolls around, and that will make it a lot less stressful for you and your partner.

Company Parties

Last, but not least, don’t forget about company parties! It can be challenging to plan a corporate event that doesn’t feel like work, but if there’s anything that could make a company party enjoyable, it’s roller skating!
