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.
