Ready for Some Family Time?

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.

Black Friday Event at Roller Kingdom

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!

Birthday Party Checklist at Roller Kingdom

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!

DecorationsBirthday party Theme

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!

The Christmas Countdown is On!

Yes, we know that it is still October. At the end of the month there will still be cornstalks, scarecrows, and spiderwebs gracing front porches throughout the area. However, take one look at the local shopping centers and you’re sure to notice that the upcoming Christmas holidays will be here before you know it. At Roller Kingdom, we are preparing for the holidays in our own way with our offering of gift certificates.

Roller Kingdom Gift CertificatesChristmas at Roller Kingdom

The Great Skate Rebate

We’ve shared about the Great Skate Rebate before, and it is still a part of the line up at Roller Kingdom in Hudson and in Tyngsboro. We understand that purchasing a pair of roller skates is an investment. Skate owners take a certain pride in their skates and plan on using them time and time again. When you purchase skates at Roller Kingdom, this is an easy option as you are given equal value in admission. Let’s say you spend $179 on the pair of skates you’ve been dying to have, we’ll add to your investment with our Great Skate Rebate with $179 worth of passes.

The beginning of November means that we are less than two months away from Christmas. We encourage  you to get your shopping done and out of the way by taking advantage of Roller Kingdom gift certificates and our Great Skate Rebate!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Roller Kingdom is local and family owned. We know just how important family is, and we also know that many families have been touched by cancer.

Thanks in advance for sharing this opportunity with your friends and family! We look forward to seeing you out as we skate in support of a cure at Roller Kingdom during this Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Lace Up Those Skates!

Roller Skate Lacing Methods

Improperly fitting roller skates can be extremely frustrating, and if you are a beginner, it can bend that learning curve even more than it already was. But a skate that doesn’t fit quite right, doesn’t always mean that you selected the wrong size for your foot. While this is a very definite possibility, you may also just need to simply adjust the laces.  Like skates, feet come in all different shapes and sizes, and sometimes minor tweaks need to be made. Roller Kingdom located in Tyngsboro and Hudson, MA wants to see everyone in our rink having nothing less than a great time! So, follow these lacing tips if you are someone who is struggling with this.

  • High Arches? If you have really high arches that cause the tops of your feet to be raised a little higher than most, relieve that pressure. Roller skates are supposed to be a little snug, but not uncomfortable.
  • Is your heel slipping? If this is you, and you have been fitted for skates by someone who is knowledgable, try this lacing technique that will help alleviate this issue.
  • Toe problems? Let’s raise them up a bit! This particular lacing method will help to alleviate hammer toes, toe corn, nail problems and any other painful toes issues you might experience with your toes.

Join us at our rink! Check out our schedules in Tyngsboro and Hudson, and plan your next visit!
