The CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission, has found that the number of roller skating accidents is somewhere in the region of 50,000 incidents each year.  These accidents range from minor cuts, sprains and bruises, to broken bones and other more severe injuries. Keep in mind that this refers to roller skating both indoors at your local roller skating rink and roller skating outdoors. It is important that safety regulations and guidelines be followed while skating whether indoors or outdoors. As we hunker down for winter, we thought it would be a good idea to remind skaters of a few ways to stay safe while skating at Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro and Hudson.

Roller Skaters Safety Information

Roller skaters hold a certain level of responsibility for their own safety when skating and the safety of those around them.  Therefore, they should always follow the posted warning signs and avoid skating in a manner or at a speed that could cause injury or damage to themselves, other skaters, or the actual skating rink. 

Maintaining Roller Skates

Part of skating safely includes not only keeping responsibility in mind as previously mentioned, but also using proper equipment. At Roller Kingdom, we are proud to offer the use of rental skates in our facility. These skates are regularly maintained with our Pro Shop staff. We encourage our skaters to make sure their skates are in proper and safe working order when they choose to bring their own. Our staff can give your skates a good check up, and we can even show you a few of our newer roller skating styles and models if you are interested in upgrading. Don’t forget that our skate sale is going on now, and a purchase of new skates equals free skating!

Contact Roller Kingdom today if you have any questions about safety regulations and guidelines that we have in place at our rinks. Make sure to share your #rollerkingdom pictures socially with us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! We love to see all of the pics of skaters skating!

In November we added a morning session to the calendars for both the Tyngsboro and Hudson Roller Kingdom locations. We’re excited because this is a great opportunity for you to take care of gaining new skating skills and to take advantage of our Spectacular Savings Session for our birthday parties!

Skating Skills

Saturday mornings are the perfect time to drop in and polish up your skating skills. Our doors open at 10am, and the session goes til noon. Whether you are staying after from Saturday morning lessons (offered from 9:15-9:45am at Hudson and from 9:30-10:00am at Tyngsboro), or if you want to get your day started with some music and skating, then Saturday mornings can’t be beat! With two hours of skating done before noon you will have had time to build your confidence as a newbie skater, or to become an expert in a new skill that you are working on. Whether you are learning forward, backward, crossovers, turning, or simply just want to balance and stand at the same time, Saturday mornings are great!

Spectacular Savings Sessions

Everyone knows that birthday parties are the best at Roller Kingdom. With skating, video games, and laser tag there is plenty for your party goers to do. On Saturday mornings, we offer $2 off the fee for each guest when you book a Deluxe Party or Super Deluxe Party! This savings also applies to Friday reservations from 4-6:30pm at the Tyngsboro and Hudson rinks and Wednesday bookings from 6-9pm in Tyngsboro. Contact us for more details about our Spectacular Savings Sessions. Or book a party online using the following links:

We hope to see you out for our Saturday Sessions! Mornings are great, but don’t forget that we’re also open from 1-5pm in Hudson and Tyngsboro for our Afternoon Fun Skate, and from 7-11pm in Tyngsboro for our Teen Night! Don’t forget to share #rollerkingdom #comerollwithus on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! We love to see all of the pics of skaters skating! 

If you have plans the day after Thanksgiving to stand in the freezing cold temperatures and race through the aisles to get prized gifts for Christmas, then you are not alone. Black Friday has quite a history, and it seems to have crept earlier and earlier into the pre-dawn hours each year. At Roller Kingdom, we won’t make you wake up crazy early for our Black Friday Skate. Instead, you can sleep in, and then come skate off the turkey and mashed potatoes you ate the day before!

If you really are in the mood to shop, then we think we’ve got one of the best deals that you can get. The bonus is that you don’t have to wait for Black Friday to get here! You can take advantage of the Great Skate Rebate before or after Black Friday. All you have to do is purchase a pair of new skates, and we’ll return the same amount spent in free skating passes! That’s right, you spend $100 on skates, you get $100 in FREE skating! So, if you’re thinking Christmas and someone in your life loves to skate, we can’t think of a better gift, or a better deal! Roller skates make great Christmas presents!

We’ll be open on Friday, Nov. 28 in Hudson from 1-5pm and in Tyngsboro from 1-6:30pm. Admission is $8 and skate rental is just $1! Not only will the rinks be open for skating, but remember you can get in a game of lasertag, or just enjoy winning tickets in the arcade! Don’t forget to share #rollerkingdom on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter with all of your friends that we’ll be here the day after Thanksgiving for tons of fun!

The holidays are on the horizon, and while that may excite many with thoughts of Christmas trees, holiday decorations, and merry memories, it may have others dreading the holiday office party. While many companies strive to do something special for their employees over the holidays, there are of course goofs that take place. At Roller Kingdom, we are proud to offer our 25,000+ square foot facilities to help you avoid disastrous work parties.

Merry Music

With a live DJ working the music, your crew will not have to worry about music that does not set the mood. Our DJ can get the crowd involved on those skates (think Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance) or get people skating with Christmas classics. Whatever your music needs are, we will accomodate for your customized private party. We should also mention that this could be a fun opportunity for karaoke!

Say No to Potluck

Potlucks can be fun and adventurous, but why ask your employees to cook? And let’s admit it, with a potluck the balance is always off. Either there are too many salads and not enough main dishes, or the luck of the potluck wasn’t so great as nothing is appetizing. Avoid these unappetizing situations and take advantage of our snack bar options. Your employees will gladly say no to the cold cuts and yes to the pizza, nachos, slushies, and fried dough. We also assist with catering other menus as well.

Everyone Has Fun

Let’s just say that your guests won’t want to roller skate. We’ve got a video game arcade and laser tag as well. No one will be left out, and everyone will have fun. We don’t know about you, but these options beat sitting around the break room and exchanging white elephant gifts.

Family Friendly

Our roller skating rink is family friendly. Not only will your employees have a great time at a corporate holiday party at Roller Kingdom, but their significant others and children will as well.
