Have you ever planned a day at the park only to have the skies open up and ruin your day? Or maybe you’ve been made into lunch by one too many mosquitoes? We all love the outdoors, but indoor play at Rainbow Skateland in Lockport has so many advantages! Here’s a couple of reasons to come play inside this summer.

By planning your summer fun indoors, you can be certain your plans will succeed! A day at Rainbow Skateland means you don’t have to worry about the weather getting in the way. There are no swarms of bugs, rain, storms, or sudden heat waves to worry about.

Playing inside also helps avoid sun damage. Did you know up to 1 in 5 people will develop some form of skin cancer in their life? As a major method of prevention, doctors recommend staying out of the sun when its rays are most direct–usually between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Protect yourself and your family this summer by heading indoors for the sunniest parts of the day.

Kids still want to run and jump around even indoors, and parents still want their kids to get plenty of exercise so they’ll be healthy and burn off all that extra energy. Rainbow Skateland has all the attractions for an entire day of active fun. If roller skating doesn’t do the trick, there’s also laser tag and arcade games for everyone, and the Bounce Zone, the ultimate indoor playground, for kids 54 inches and under.

Check out our weekly specials and bring the whole family for active, indoor fun this summer at Rainbow Skateland!

It’s not always easy to think of memorable group events. When so many people are involved it seems everyone wants something different. How do you make everyone happy? Rainbow Skateland in Lockport specializes in events. Let us help you create the best one for your group!

A day at Rainbow Skateland is great for your church group, daycare or summer camp field trip, or sports team party. Kids under 10 can enjoy PlayQuest, the ultimate indoor playground, while adults and older kids play in our multi-level laser tag arena or try out our selection of arcade games and win prizes in the stuff shop. And everyone can go skating on our rink! We welcome skaters of every age and ability level. Don’t know how to roller skate at all? Don’t worry, we can help with that too!

As for corporate events, we all know team-building is so important to a good work environment. We can create a team-building event specifically for your company, or just let your employees enjoy the skating rink. After all, sometimes even the best teams need to escape the office for a bit. Exercise and having fun with coworkers are great ways to renew focus and motivation at work!

Most groups of 25 or more get a discount on admission to general skate times. Does your group want the whole arena to yourselves? Our private events cost less per person than a movie ticket! Group trips to Rainbow Skateland are as affordable as they are fun.

With so many different activities available, there’s something to please every member of your group. Contact us today and let’s get started planning your great group event for the summer!

Our Bounce Zone at Rainbow Skateland is brand new and ready for a bouncin’-good time. This new attraction is filled with bouncers, mazes, obstacle course and slides for your kiddos to jump, bounce and play on! But before you release your kiddos for the ultimate play session of their lives, take a look at this short guide on how you can help keep your kids safe while visiting Rainbow Skateland, below.

• Before entering, have children take off their shoes, glasses, and jewelry. Make sure they empty their pockets of any sharp objects, as well.
• Set rules for safe play. Teach children to not roughhouse, tumble, wrestle or do flips. Have them stay away from the entrance or exit, and the sides or walls of the bouncer.
• Only children age 6 and older should use bounce houses. Younger children may not have the balance, coordination or strength to safely enjoy one.

These are just three ways to keep your kiddos safe while using our bounce houses, but there are of course many other ways to keep them safe also. At Rainbow Skateland, we encourage parents to look into ways to continue to keep your kiddos safe while having fun at our facility.

Are your kids going stir crazy? No child wants to be stuck in the house all day. And their parents want it even less! So what do you do when it’s cold outside? You don’t have to wreck the house to keep the kids entertained. Rainbow Skateland has weekly events that kids of all ages will love! Keep the kids engaged in active play with a family day at Rainbow Skateland.

Beat winter boredom at Rainbow Skateland in Lockport, NY.

Roller-skating is great exercise for families in Lockport. It’s low-impact, so it doesn’t stress your joints, it’s good for your cardiovascular health, and it burns about 600 calories in just an hour. Is your New Year’s resolution to get in better shape? We have 4 skating stretches to improve your skate fitness.

4 Stretches Before You Skate

1. Calf stretches. Stand with both feet flat on the ground and place one foot in front of the other. Bend forward at the knee, keeping your back leg straight, without lifting your heel. Keep leaning forward until you feel the stretch in your calf. Switch sides and repeat.
2. Quad stretches. Stand on one leg (if you need to, use a wall for balance). Grab your elevated ankle and pull your leg toward your rear. Stretch until you feel your quadriceps pulling in the front of your thigh. Switch legs to finish out the stretch.
3. Hamstring stretches. Keeping your legs straight, bend down and touch your toes. You can also do a similar hamstring stretch sitting down. Keep one leg straight, with the other bent comfortably flat on the ground. Lean along your straightened leg, reaching for your toes.
4. Hip Stretches. Place one knee on the ground, with your other foot flat on the floor. Lean forward until you feel your hip flexors open up. To stretch your hips and your glutes, sit on the ground with one leg straight. Cross your other leg over that leg, and gently tug at the knee until you feel a stretch in your hips and glutes.

Stretching before you skate increases your performance and decreases the likelihood of injuries. Stretch it out, then come skate with us at Rainbow Skateland!

Are you ready for a year that’s bigger, brighter, and happier than ever before? 40% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions each year. Do you know how many keep them? Only 8%! We’re giving you a little help this year. Keeping your New Year’s resolutions is easy at Rainbow Skateland.

3 New Year’s Resolutions at Rainbow Skateland

1. Get fit. Exercising more, losing weight, and becoming healthier in general is the #1 New Year’s resolution year after year. We all want to take care of our bodies, but with so little time for exercise, staying active can be a challenge. What’s the secret? Not a gym membership, that’s for sure! Studies show that 80% of new gym members have stopped going by the 2nd week of January. Instead of wasting your money, invest in fun family activities like roller-skating. Skating strengthens your muscles, improves cardiovascular health, reduces stress, and can burn up to 600 calories an hour.
2. Spend more time with family. Reconnect with the people you love with a fun new hobby like roller-skating. At Rainbow Skateland, we have fun events and weekly skating for families in Lockport. You can also play laser tag, enter the Bounce Zone, play mini golf, or play in the arcade.
3. Try something new. Learning a new skill this year is an admirable goal. As long as you can walk, you can learn to roller-skate. Already know how to skate? Master a new trick, try speed skating, or join a jam skate team.

Happy New Year! We’ll see you at Rainbow Skateland.
