Mondays are the worst, right? Well, not anymore! Your hometown skating rink is changing the game with Adult Retro Skate Night. Find out why this event is a must-see addition to Lockport nightlife below. 

Adult Retro Skate Night at Rainbow Skateland

No Kids Allowed

You hear the shrill sound of a whistle, then the lifeguard yells, “Adult swim! Kids out of the pool!” Suddenly there are no overexuberent kids screaming, splashing, and cannonballing too close for comfort. You can enjoy the relaxing luxury of a kid-free pool, if only for a few minutes.

Imagine that feeling of relief, but instead of the pool, you’re at the skating rink. While we’re all about family fun here at Rainbow Skateland, sometimes grown folks need a break. That’s why Retro Skate Night is for ages 18 and older only. Don’t forget to bring your ID to this kid-free weekly event. 

Old School Tunes

Even if we did allow kids to this event (which we don’t), they just wouldn’t get it. Retro Skate Night is all about going “back in the day” with your favorite old school skate jams, from deep cuts to chart toppers. What were your favorite songs to roller skate to in the past? We’d love to hear your suggestions, so head over to our Facebook page and join the conversation. 

Drink Specials

This one almost goes without saying. Come on, if there’s anything that could make Monday, well, less Monday-ish, it’s a good drink special! Get your sip on and skate that case of the Mondays away. 

Something Different

Do you ever feel like you’re in a rut with your social or romantic life? Tired of meeting up at the same bar with the same people all the time? Tired of the same predictable date night? Tired of Netflix and falling asleep on the couch?  If this is sounding familiar, it’s time to shake up your routine! Adult Retro Skate Night lets you start the week off with a dose of affordable fun, socializing, and yes, even exercise. That excitement can carry you through the week when you’ve got a lot on your plate. 

Memories Old and New

One of the reasons people love our Retro Skate Nights is because the music takes you back to simpler days. Music is one of the best ways to evoke happy memories, so come out and be reminded of some blasts from your past … And make some new memories, too!

The holidays are officially here and in full swing, and you know what that means—the clock is ticking on buying gifts for your kids. If you’re looking for a great gift idea for kids, look no further—it’s roller skating to the rescue! 

Reasons to Give Roller Skates as a Gift

• It’s fun, obviously!
• It’s social and provides a family-friendly space for kids and teens to hang out with friends.
• It’s active and encourages kids to get off the couch. Skating burns calories, builds muscles, and can even improve stamina and agility. 

Roller Skating Gift Ideas

Your kid will feel like a boss going from rental skates to their very own skates in a style and color that expresses their personality.

Riedell Dart Ombre Skates

These rink and speed skates are not only high quality skates made by one of the leading roller skate companies, Riedell; they also look super cool thanks to an ombre gradient effect in a range of stylish colorways like purple/lime green, pink/purple, and blue/pink. 

Vanilla Junior Jam Skates

If your child loves to bust a move to their favorite music, jam skates are the way to go. These skates are designed to be worn for jam/session skating, with a toe plug instead of a toe stop allowing for more maneuverability and some pretty sweet moves. Vanilla’s Junior Jam Skates are high quality and stylish, available in several colors including mint, black/pink, and red/white. 

Moxi Roller Skates

It doesn’t get any more stylish than Moxi Roller Skates! Your tween or teen will be overjoyed to open a box and discover their very own pair of Moxis in candy-colored suede or cheetah print. Don’t worry, these skates have style and substance; they’re hand-made in the USA with the highest craftsmanship and quality materials. 

Pacer Comet Light-Up Skates

These fun, kid-friendly skates have wheels that light up when you skate, and come in two cool colorways: white/hot pink/purple, and grey/black/yellow. 

Skate Accessories

Don’t forget to complete the gift with some awesome skate accessories! Wheels, toe stops, pom poms, light up laces, and boot covers all make great stocking stuffers. Skate tools and skate leashes or bags are also a great way to finish off a gift, and they’re useful to boot. (Pun intended.)
