This one has a little star. That one has a little car. Say! What a lot of tots there are.

Do your kids love Tiny Tots? Do they love Dr. Seuss? You’re invited to a very special Tiny Tots event to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday! We’re taking a cue from the mischief makers in all of your kids favorite stories and throwing an upside down, inside out, crazy fun party. After all, no one is better at mayhem than toddlers; even certain hat-wearing cats! There’s just one rule: no eating birthday cake in the bath tub!

Tiny Tots Story Time Celebration

Your kids don’t have to choose between story time and active play. At Tiny Tots they’ll have plenty of time for both! We’re celebrating the man who changed children’s literature forever. Dr. Seuss’s birthday is coming up on March 2nd! We’re celebrating a few weeks early with a special event for toddlers in Tallahassee.

• Tiny Tots Birthday Bash on Friday, February 17th
• Play from 10am to 1pm
• $5 admission, $9 lunch bunch
• Dress up as your favorite character from Dr. Seuss’ stories!
• We’ll have a photo booth for you to take silly pictures and pretend you’re making mayhem
• Make a “One Fish, Two Fish” handprint painting for the fridge
• Gather round for story time at Skate World
• Skate around the rink
• Bring a ride-along toy for even more fun (just make sure to tell Sam-I-Am that there’s no food allowed on the skating floor, even green eggs and ham!)

Toddlers have the most fun! Don’t miss the next Tiny Tots adventure next Friday.

Christmas may be over, but there’s still plenty to look forward to! At Skate World Center, there’s no end to the fun. And what better ways to achieve your New Year’s resolutions than to make them feel like play? Accomplish your family New Year’s resolutions in 2017 at your favorite Tallahassee skating center.

4 New Year’s Resolutions for Families

1. Get in shape. For some getting in shape means working off those Christmas cookies. For others it simply means leading a healthy, active lifestyle. Roller-skating helps both kids and adults stay active and get in shape. It works your legs and glutes, strengthens your core, and can even burn up to 600 calories in an hour. According the American Heart Association, it’s one of the top exercises for heart health. And it’s easier to stick with fun activities than boring workouts. If you’re not convinced yet, look at it this way: it beats going to the gym!
2. Save money. Unlike many family activities, roller-skating comes with a small price tag. Skate all day for under $10. Pinching pennies after the holiday season? Monday Mania Skate is just $2 per skater for 4 ½ hours of fun!
3. Spend more time with family. Kids can learn to roller-skate before they’re old enough to start Kindergarten. And skating is like riding a bike: once you learn, you never forget. That’s why skating is also a great choice for spending quality time with grandparents. They won’t have to wait on the sidelines while the kids play!
4. Try something new. Who’s ready for 2017? Celebrate with us at the Noon Year’s Eve Balloon Drop Kids Skate Party. We’re gearing up for big fun, including a 4pm balloon drop with prizes.

These are just a few of the New Year’s resolutions Skate World Center can help you achieve. Ready for a fresh start? Take the family roller-skating in 2017.  

We’re just days away from winter break 2016, and you can bet we’re as excited about it as your kids. After all, we get to spend the holidays seeing smiles light up their faces! If you’re looking for holiday family fun in Tallahassee (and a quick release for your kids’ extra energy), look no further than holiday fun at Skate World Center.

Winter Break Skate

Calling all kids, parents, and visiting relatives! Big fun is headed your way for the holidays. When school is out, skating is in. Skate World Center will be open for special hours during winter break. Send the kids skating or come play with the whole family! You can skate Monday-Friday from 11am-4pm from December 19th through January 3rd. You know the drill: your 1st activity (roller-skating, or the playground for kids 10 and younger) is only $8. Or double the fun for just a few extra bucks!

Next stop: Christmas skates.

With Christmas just around the corner, Santa’s little elves are hard at work. And what’s our top pick for kids’ Christmas presents this year? Roller-skates! Not only are roller-skates fun for kids, they encourage hard work, quality time with family, and staying active. If you’re planning to buy roller-skates this holiday season, here are a few things to keep in mind.

How to Choose Roller-Skates

There’s no such thing as a bad pair of skates, but your choice will depend on what kind of skating your child loves. Ask yourself these questions:

• Quad skates or inline skates?
• Speed skates or artistic skates?
• Starter skates or intermediate skates?
• Fun and colorful, or simple and straightforward?
  

If you’re not sure what type of skate your child needs, don’t worry. We have plenty of rental options, too. Take a page from the sneaky elf playbook and have your child try inline and quad skates at your next skating session. Watch to see if your child prefers speed or tricks on the skating floor. Ask our skate pros (or your child’s skating instructor) which type of skates they’d recommend. We’re here to help!

Great Deals on Roller-Skates

It should come as no surprise that we’re serious about roller-skating. That’s why we have an amazing opportunity for Tallahassee families: buy a pair of roller-skates, and we’ll give you a gift card for the amount you spend! That means that if you buy your daughter a $50 pair of skates, you’ll also get $50 to use at Skate World. That’s basically a free pair of roller-skates! Visit our Pro Shop to learn more about the skates available in our catalogue.
