Thanksgiving week happens to be National Family Week. Many groups and organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club of America and the Kimberly Clark Corporation, encourage families to spend time together during the week of Thanksgiving. This family time could include a multitude of activities. Some example ideas include:

• Family Game Night
• Family Volunteering Opportunity (such as at a local food pantry or other non-profit organization)
• Family Movie Night
• Family Skate Night

Of course these are just a few ideas as the sky’s the limit when it comes to how you and your family choose to spend time together.

Family Time at Roller Kingdom

We’ve got several ways to encourage family time at Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro and Hudson. Two of our favorites include our Wednesday Night Dollar Skate Night and our Friday Pizza Supper Skate. We know that families are often so busy, and that sometime family outings can be expensive, so both of these events are designed for family fun on a budget!

Dollar Night

The price is in the title! On Wednesdays, you only have to pay one dollar for your admission! Wednesday’s in Hudson run from 6-9pm and admission is just $1! In Tyngsboro are the same with the event running from 6-9pm and admission being just $1. Skate rental is $3 if you are renting!

Pizza Supper Skate

It’s the end of the work week and you don’t want to cook. Or do dishes. We’ve got you covered! Join us at Roller Kingdom from 4-6:30 on Fridays for our Pizza Supper Skate! For $6 you get a slice of pizza, a soda, admission, and skate rental*!

Don’t miss out on the opportunities for family time during the week of Thanksgiving and throughout the year at Roller Kingdom! Post your family skating pics on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!

*Prices vary the week of Thanksgiving

The diehard shoppers delight in the day after Thanksgiving sales. Most people know this day as Black Friday. While this annual tradition has crept into the pre-dawn hours of the Friday after Thanksgiving, we respect the fact that school is closed and parents and students alike can sleep in! We won’t make you wake up crazy early for our Black Friday Sale. Instead, you can sleep in, and then come skate off the turkey and mashed potatoes you ate the day before!

Visit our skate shop from 12-9pm on Black Friday for 20% off!

We will be open on Black Friday from 1-5pm at both locations for you to burn off thos Thanksgiving calories. In addition to roller skating you can get the perfect gift for the roller skater in your life by taking advantage of the Great Skate Rebate. 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!

Of course, you can take advantage of the Great Skate Rebate any time, so you don’t have to wait for Black Friday! However, we do want you to know that in addition to skating on Black Friday, we are offering 20% off all of our skates in the skate shop and our skate shop will be open from 12-9pm on Black Friday! 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!

What is roller skating to you? For some it is exercise. For others it is a reminder of times that have past. And for others it provides fond memories of simpler times when you lived to be at the rink. Who could resist skating to the best music and the anticipation of couples skate? At Roller Kingdom, we’ve got you covered when it comes to reliving your best memories at the rink! Join us for our Adult Only Skate Nights!

Planning a child’s birthday party can be a lot of fun. There are so many options out there that it can be overwhelming at first, but when planning a kids birthday party, we suggest starting with a checklist. At Roller Kingdom we think that a party checklist can make the planning much smoother, and this is especially true when you have location, theme, decorations, and food as four major categories on your checklist.

Location

Perhaps the most important element in planning a birthday party is choosing the location. At Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro and Hudson, we make that part as easy as possible. Our family fun centers have been a strong part of the community for years! Both of our locations offer over 25,000 of fun! Location is certainly an easy category to check off the list when it comes to hosting a party at Roller Kingdom!

Theme

The next thing on your checklist should be determining a theme. Before anything can be made or bought you have to decide what the theme of your child’s party will be. For a child’s first birthday, parents tend to rely mostly on a color theme and the number “1.” As kids get older they start to like certain characters or TV shows. If they are old enough to tell you what they like that’s great, but if not, then just choose a theme based off of their favorite toy or cartoon.

Examples of themes by age-

• Ages 2-4: Pirates, princesses, dinosaurs, Elmo, Sesame Street, tea party
• Ages 5-7: Harry Potter, pizza, circus, dress up, cars,
• Ages 8-10: roller skating, movies, academic interests

Many of these themes can be incorporated into our many great activity options included with our party packages. In addition to roller skating, guests can partake in laser tag, karaoke, and arcade games!

Decorations

After determining a theme, decorations for the party should be next. You can choose to buy decorations from a party store or you can make your own. You can find so many decoration ideas online at Pinterest and other creative sites. Making your own decorations is a fun idea because often times kids can join in and help make some of the decorations for their party. Outside decorations are permitted at Roller Kingdom, so live up the theme!

DIY Decoration Ideas-

• Balloon animals
• DIY pin the (tail, bow, wheel, etc.) on the (character of choice)
• Character center pieces
• Pictures
• Tissue paper pom poms

Food

Food is always important when you have children. Perhaps you hear all too often, “When is dinner? I’m hungry!” At Roller Kingdom, you can wow your kiddos with fun themed menu ideas at their birthday party because you are you can customize your menu options with a choice of pizza or hot dogs and our party add-ons. You are welcome to bring in your own birthday cake with a booked party; if your child is having a zoo themed party, why not have zoo animal cupcakes?!

And after checking everything off on your party list the only thing left to do is HAVE FUN!!! And of course, we can’t think of any more fun than roller skating with your child at Roller Kingdom while you celebrate their special day! Book your party at Tyngsboro or Hudson today!
