Before you go roller skating
- Check the session schedule. Public sessions run at set times that change by day and season, and a rink may close for a private party or event. The rink's website or a quick call will tell you what's on.
- Wear socks and clothes you can move in. Rental skates need socks. Skip long, loose scarves or wide pant legs that can catch in the wheels.
- Rentals vary. Most roller rinks rent quad skates, and some rent inline skates. If you bring your own, ask about the rink's rules for personal skates.
- Gear up if you're new. A helmet, wrist guards and knee pads are a good idea for beginners and kids. Stay near the wall until you find your balance, skate with the flow of traffic and follow the floor staff.
