School is out, summer has started, and Skate Station is the place to be for a great time. We have a bunch of great roller skating events and celebrations coming up in June as well as through the rest of the summer. So, make sure you continue to check back to ensure that you don’t miss a single one of them. As for June, go ahead and mark your calendars for these special occasions:

Friday, June 13 – What better day to get a little wacky than Friday the 13th? We are hosting one very special skating event for anyone that loves to get grossed out or to gross out others. We’ll have belching contests, fish eating contests, baby food blast and so many more games designed specifically to make you go “eeewwww.” Admission is $8 and the festivities are from 7 to 11 p.m.

Sunday, June 15 – Happy Father’s Day to all of the amazing dads out there. To honor these extraordinary role models, we are giving all dads free admission from 2 to 7 p.m.

Friday, June 20 – Excuse me, I mustache you a question. Don’t you think fake mustaches make any event more entertaining? So do we! Join us on Friday, June 20th for our Mustache Bash. We’ll have a mustache photo booth, play mustache games (like guess that mustache), have fantastic mustache prizes and more. Make sure you wear your best mustache. Admission is $8 and the party is from 7 to 11 p.m.

Remember that if you have one of our 99 Days of Summer unlimited skating passes, then you do not have to pay the admission fee for any of these events. Those passes are valid for every public skate session from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Contact us if you have any questions, and we are looking forward to seeing you this summer!

We spent this week distributing our summer coupons to over 40 public and private schools in and around Sumter County. Tomorrow, June 5, 2014, is the last day of school, so if your son and/or daughter did not bring these coupons home this week, be sure to stop by the school’s office tomorrow to pick them up.

You do not want to miss your opportunity to get this pack of coupons as it includes seven free admission passes valid at different periods throughout the summer. Seven free passes means that you can come roller skating at Skate Station for FREE almost every week of the summer. If you also use your Kids Skate Free passes, then you may not have to pay an admission fee at all this summer!

Our summer coupon book also includes other deals for family packs, birthday parties and more. Contact us with any questions you may have and we can’t wait to spend these summer days with you!

The last day of school for the Sumter County school district is this Thursday, June 5, and we are so excited for the start of summer that we are hosting a huge celebration on Friday and offering FREE admission. So if you were looking for a spectacular way to kick off the summer season, look no more. Join us on Friday, June 6th from noon to 7 p.m. and take advantage of free admission day.

Skate rental is not included in the free admission; however, all you need to do is bring your own pair of skates with you to avoid paying the rental fee. If you do not have your own pair of skates, now is a great time to make that investment. Stop by our Pro Shop on Friday and peruse our extensive selection of skates. We’ll ensure you find the right size and pair for the perfect fit. Then, you can enjoy roller skating all summer long without paying the rental fee.

June 6th is also the start of our summer schedule. With school being out, we will be open seven days a week to provide you with plenty of opportunities to use your unlimited skating summer pass. Don’t have one of our 99 Days of Summer passes yet? You can pick one up on Friday during free admission, and then use the pass for admission to Friday night’s School’s Out Lock-in.

Roller skating really is the perfect summer activity because it gets you out of the blazing heat and sun, while still providing active play. We are looking forward to celebrating this break from school with you, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our unlimited skating pass, summer hours or anything at all.

During these months of summer, the kids are out of school and it is the responsibility of the summer camps to keep the kids entertained. Of course, the days will be filled with a variety of educational activities, but on occasion, these youth groups and daycare facilities want to give the kids a change of scenery with a field trip to somewhere exciting.

Field trips are an excellent opportunity to get the kids out of the classroom and give them the opportunity to let loose. The big question is, where do you take them? Well, we have your answer. There is hardly a better venue than Skate Station. We provide indoor, air conditioned entertainment for the kids, so you do not have to worry about sunscreen or the heat. Also, roller skating is cardiovascular exercise, meaning the kids are actively playing and burning off energy.

Our special rates for daycare and youth groups are budget-friendly, starting from only $4 per child. This price includes admission and regular skate rental. Then we have a myriad of add-on options, including snacks, drinks and even arcade tokens – something that is always a popular choice with the kids.

These field trips can be booked anytime Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. We do require that you make your reservations in advance. Call us at 481-7655 to set up your youth group field trip.

We are coming to the final few weeks of the 2013/2014 school year, and we know the kids are getting restless. One great way to help them burn off this excited energy is to bring them to Skate Station and let them roller skate the night away. We have public roller skating sessions everyday except Mondays, so bring them by as often as you would like. However, we do have two upcoming skating parties that you won’t want to miss.

Mountain Dew Mania

On Friday, May 23, 2014, we are hosting a Mountain Dew Mania party. The evening will be filled with different Mountain Dew-themed activities and games, including free Mountain Dew for everyone….until someone uses the bathroom. How long do you think you could hold off with a bladder full of Mountain Dew? Feel free to dress in the spirit of the evening by wearing lime green clothes and accessories, or, if you have a Mountain Dew shirt, that would be even better! The party is from 7 to 11 p.m. and admission is only $8.

Beat the Clock

Three days later we are having a Memorial Day celebration on May 26th. Like we said earlier, we are not typically open on Mondays, but since the kids will be out of school, we are having a Beat the Clock skating party. Basically, the earlier you arrive, the cheaper your admission. It’s an afternoon skate from 3 to 7 p.m., and the prices are as follows:

• Before 4 p.m. – $2
• Before 5 p.m. – $4
• After 5 p.m. – $6

Saturday Specials

In addition to these two extraordinary celebrations, we also host a special event on most Saturdays during our afternoon skate session. Join us on May 31, 2014 for a fun candy scramble. As you can imagine, this particular activity is always very popular with the kids. Participation in the scramble is included in your $6 admission. It usually takes place around 2:45 p.m., but we open at noon so feel free to come earlier.

If you have any questions about our events or anything in general, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
