Archives for March 2016

The buds on the trees, and the early spring blooms are proof that spring is on the way! This means that there will be more sightings of uniformed players on the soccer fields and in the ball fields as spring sports season gets rolling. At Roller Kingdom, we’re always rooting for our favorite teams, and we love to celebrate with them at the end of the season. Consider hosting your teams end of season banquet or celebration at Roller Kingdom!

With over 25,000 square feet of space under our roof, we’ve got more than enough room for the whole team, plus parents, plus grandparents, and neighbors and friends too! And when the celebrations are done, and the trophies have all been passed out, our skating rinks in Tyngsboro and Hudson provide plenty of activity. Team members and their supporters can hit the roller skating rink, play a game of laser tag, sing a karaoke song, or play in the arcade.

Customized Private Parties

It does not matter if your team is generally found on the track, golf course, soccer field, ball diamond, or in the swimming pool, we host all sorts of end of season parties at Roller Kingdom. Party options may be customized from our snack bar, and don’t forget that we host family reunions, church groups, school groups, and non-profits as well.

Roller Kingdom Meetup

While many teams will soon be celebrating the end of the season, we know that many parents, coaches, and students are already planning ahead for the next season. Our rink is the perfect location for your sign up and registration event. Parents can get to know each other, coaches can meet participants, and siblings can roller skate while they wait. We think this is a win all around!

Share your ideas with us for how you would use Roller Kingdom for private events. Don’t forget that Roller Kingdom is happy to accommodate groups of any size for private rink rentals. Visit our Private Parties page to find out more and give us a call or contact us today!

If you’ve got the countdown on the calendar, then you know that we’re less than a month away from Spring Vacation Skating Fun at Roller Kingdom. We’ve got spring break celebrations taking place at both our Hudson and our Tyngsboro Roller Kingdom locations. We’re counting down the days with you to closing those lockers, forgetting about homework, and taking some time to get ready for the final countdown to the end of the school year.

Spring Vacation Skating Fun

• Hudson Roller Kingdom

The Hudson Public Schools April Break is taking place the week of April 17. Since school will be closed Monday through Friday, we’ll be open. Join us from 1-4pm each weekday and enjoy our Spring Vacation Skating Fun sessions for $9 admission and $1 skate rental. Parents, don’t forget that you get in for free! Skate rental for parents is just $3.

• Tyngsboro Roller Kingdom

The Tyngsboro location will be hosting Spring Vacation Skating Fun sessions for two weeks. Join us for these extra afternoon sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1-5pm on April 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, and 29. Admission is $9 and skate rental is $1.

We realize that Tyngsboro and Hudson are several miles away from the southern beaches that others will flock to, but with all that we have to offer, we think we make for a great staycation destination. Free wifi for the parents, Icee drinks to feel a little tropical, and the limbo will make you feel like you are on vacation from the daily grind.

We love to partner with schools and other organizations within our Tyngsboro and Hudson communities through fundraisers. While we’ve provided tips for successful fundraising in the past, it is a timely topic to visit again with spring fundraisers on the rise. A few fundraising tips from SignUpGenius.com caught our eye, and we thought we would share a few that we’ve seen in action.

Combine Fundraisers

One fun way to do this at Roller Kingdom is through a silent auction. Many schools ask for donations of goods or services that can be left out during the fundraising night in the form of a silent auction. This is a great way to combine a large fun night at Roller Kingdom with a smaller silent auction. A fun spin on this is to ask classroom parents to create themed baskets for a silent auction throughout the night.

Limit the Fundraising

This rule of thumb is one that many parents are grateful for! We’ve all had that niece, nephew, cousin, or co-worker’s child that seems to be constantly fundraising for something. At Roller Kingdom, we’re happy to provide a fun fundraiser that promotes, fitness and fun, while providing an easy way to raise money. This beats selling wrapping paper any day!

Call Roller Kingdom today with any questions about your fundraising needs! We’ll be happy to discuss the details and help you schedule your next fundraising night!

At Roller Kingdom, we love sharing our love of roller skating with lessons and a healthy way to exercise. We are used to partnering with schools and other organizations for fundraisers, so it is only natural for us to extend this partnership through reading. We are proud to announce that this is the second March is Reading Month in which we are rewarding the efforts of Hudson and Tyngsboro area students by offering free skating passes for the books they read in the month of March. 

How does reading equal free skating?

All readers have to do in the month of March is record their reading. After recording their reading, they must get a teacher to sign their March is Reading Month list and bring it in to either of our Roller Kingdom locations. We’ll provide free skating passes for each book read (up to five)!

Who can participate in March is Reading Month at Roller Kingdom?

Students in elementary, middle, or high school within the greater Tyngsboro and Hudson areas are eligible to participate in our March is Reading Month initiative. Check with individual teachers to make sure that they are aware of our program.

Please keep in mind that this pass may not be combined with any other discounts that we provide, and don’t forget to bring a parent or guardian with you. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or Google + to keep up with other upcoming events at Roller Kingdom!

Break through the same old mantra associated with your company team building and check out all that we have to offer at Roller Kingdom! Our Tyngsboro and Hudson family entertainment centers have plenty to offer when it comes to team building. We’ve taken the lead from 30 Great Team Building Activities for Companies Large and Small to get your started with some brainstorming ideas that will work like a charm for your event!

Pre-Planning

Before you even get started on your next team building exercise, think about your goals. What is the overall purpose for meeting anyway? Is it to build camaraderie? Encourage fitness and wellness? Give back to the community? Or provide an opportunity to relax and lose some of the stresses associated with work? Once you’ve set your goal, you’re ready to get to the planning!

Planning

At Roller Kingdom, our staff is happy to work with you in customizing the perfect team building day! Both of our family entertainment centers offer roller skating, laser tag, arcade games, and karaoke. Skating and laser tag are both great ways to encourage fitness and wellness as well as to build your team with fun and entertaining options. A conversation with our staff will help determine what activities need to be included for your private event.

Let’s not forget about food details. Our snack bar offers plenty of options including gluten free pizza! One of our representatives will be happy to help you plan a menu for your event.

Team Building by Giving Back

While roller skating, laser tag, karaoke, and arcade game playing can offer plenty of fun with a sprinkle of fitness and team building, we wanted to let you know that companies have found creative ways to turn team building into ways to give back to the community. Consider inviting employees and their families for a fun event at Roller Kingdom, and encourage them to bring a donation of items for a family in need during the holiday season or school supplies at the beginning of the school year.
