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.

Now that you have purchased one of our 99 Days of Summer unlimited skate passes, it’s time to pick up one of our rechargeable gift cards. These are the perfect companion for the summer pass as it enables you to send your kids  to Skate Station without any cash. You probably have some questions about how this system works, so allow us to answer them for you:

How much does one cost to start? There is a minimum initial balance of $10. Yet, you can refill it with any amount, from $1 to $1,000.

What can the gift card be used to purchase? Anything at Skate Station, from concessions to tokens for the arcade and even items from our pro shop.

What happens if the balance gets low and I am not there to refill it? If your child’s rechargeable gift card gets a low balance that prevents him/her from being able to make a purchase, we are happy to take your credit card information over the phone for your to add more funds.

What happens if my child loses the card? Each gift card has a unique serial number. In the event that one gets lost, we can immediately cancel that specific card and issue a new one.

It is part of our mission to provide a safe and convenient setting for you to send your kids this summer, and we hope that this cashless system helps us reach that goal. If you have any other questions about the rechargeable gift card, our unlimited skating pass or Skate Station in general, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kids start looking forward to summer break on the first day of school, as it is nearly three full months of freedom. For parents, this long break can be challenging, especially for us in the South. It’s not uncommon for our temperatures to reach the triple digits, and combine that with the humidity, and you have a scenario that demands indoor activities, and here lies the challenge. How can you find daily activities for your kid without going way over your monthly budget? Skate Station has the answer. Our Sumter roller rink is fully air conditioned, so come cool off with us while still burning off the endless energy that kids possess. If you purchase one of our 99 days of summer unlimited skating pass, you’ll never have to pay an admission fee.

Unlimited Skating Summer Pass

For only $99, you can enjoy 99 days – Memorial Day to Labor Day – of unlimited skating, and we truly mean unlimited skating. There are no restrictions as to when you can use your summer skating pass and it includes free regular skate rentals. As long as Skate Station is open to the public, you can use your pass for admission. This includes all you can eat pizza night, Friday night skate parties and even lock-ins, which there will be a total of four lock-ins during this time period.

Don’t spend this summer struggling to find ways to entertain your kids. Purchase one of our 99 days of summer passes and always have a fun, free option at your fingertips. We currently have them on sale, so you can pick one up the next time you are at Skate Station. You will need to have the person whom the pass if for with you because we’ll take his/her picture for the ID badge.

Avoid sweltering in the heat this summer by spending your days roller skating in the cool, air conditioned Skate Station of Sumter! Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
