In case you didn’t already know, October is National Roller Skating Month! This makes us really excited about skating (as if we weren’t already!), and we wanted to challenge you to learn something new!

At Roller Kingdom, we believe that there is always something to learn. Perhaps one of our favorite moments in proving this was when the New Hampshire Chronicle came out to check out what we’ve been up to!

We’ve got plenty of lesson opportunities for learners and skaters of all ages. Check out the great opportunities at both the Hudson Roller Kingdom and at the Tyngsboro Roller Kingdom. Don’t forget that skating is no longer just skating! Part of the challenge may involve a different skating style!

Artistic Skating

If you’ve ever enjoyed watching Olympic Figure Skating, then consider trying your hand (or your feet) at artistic skating! Both of our rinks have an involvement in artistic skate, and our clubs have even made it to the nationals!

Jam Skating

If you love to get your jam on with music, then try getting your jam on with skates. Some compare this to breakdancing on skates. Whatever you see it as, it is definitely a unique combination of breakdancing, hip hop, skating, and dancing. Check out the moves of our local jam skaters here:

We hope you have a great National Roller Skating Month! We know we will! Keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with any other news and information from Roller Kingdom!

While most people look at October and think of all things fall, we think of all things roller skating at Roller Kingdom! We love to take the opportunity for this month long observation to promote the love we have for all of the different types of skating within the sport!

National Roller Skating Month was started in 1983 to promote the fun and fitness associated with roller skating. This month, to help promote fun and fitness, we’ve got a few fun things planned!

Ninja Turtle Skate

School will be out on Columbus Day, but you can come here to hang with your friends and a TMNT! We’ll have Sewer Juice and other fun filled activities to celebrate this day!

Q: What two things do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Christopher Columbus have in common?

A: Their Italian roots and Roller Kingdom!

Yes, perhaps we are stretching this just a little bit, but all four turtles are named after Italian painters or artists (Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello), and Columbus was an Italian explorer. These fictional turtles and historical figure have their roots in common, but they also share a connection with Roller Kingdom.

Columbus Day commemorates the landing of Christopher Columbus. It just so happens to be that the Tyngsborough Public Schools and Hudson Public Schools are closed on Columbus Day as are many banks and government institutions. Roller Kingdom is not closed on this day! Instead, Tyngsboro and Hudson rinks and laser tag arenas will be open.

Not only will we be open, but we may have some special green visitors visiting us on Columbus Day as well! This is your chance to party with a Ninja Turtle! We realize that we may be stretching the common points a bit, but since we made the connection we thought we would have fun with it!

Special Pizza Options

If you are wanting to keep with the theme and Italian commonality, then celebrate with special pizza options.  We will have pizza toppings that we don’t normally offer, and that is all the more reason to come on out to our Columbus Day Skate. We will have special pizza options just for you on this fun-filled day of no school!

Face Painting

Since this is a special Day Skate, we wanted to add a little extra fun. Face painting will be available in addition to roller skating, laser tag, and video games. You can request to have your face painted like a ninja turtle or choose from a few other simple designs.

Free Pizza Slice and Small Drink

We know some of you love to get into the spirit of things and take themes as far as you can. For this reason, we want to add a little extra challenge to you. Come to Roller Kingdom on Monday, Oct. 13 dressed like your favorite turtle and you’ll get a free pizza slice and small drink. It’s a win!

Come on out on Columbus Day and party with a Ninja Turtle! Our skate is from 1-5pm, admission is $8, and skate rental is $1 extra. Parents, you get free admission, and skate rental is $3. We can’t wait to see you out for this fun-filled skating session!

It’s Friday, you’ve worked hard all week, and the last thing you want to do is cook. You are ready to celebrate your TGIF! The kids feel the same way! After all it’s Friday, they don’t have school tomorrow, and they want to go hang out with friends. Ready for the solution? It’s the Friday After School Supper Skate at Roller Kingdom! Every friday from 4-6:30pm we are here ready to help you get your TGIF started with our Friday After School Supper Skate. Doesn’t matter if you prefer Tyngsboro or Hudson, cause we’ve got it going on at both! Let’s break it down a little and further share the benefits of what we have to offer.

After School

Friday is the only day of the week that we are open in the afternoon. We do offer a Wednesday night skate in Tynsgboro, but that’s another story. Anyway on Friday we open at 4:00pm to accommodate those that are already out of school, and parents that have the opportunity to end their work days a little early. Admission is $6 and that includes skate rental!

Supper Skate

We’ve got to tell you that our when we say Supper Skate, we mean you get supper and you get to skate! All for the same price. That $6 includes admission, skate rental, and supper. Your meal includes a slice of pizza and an ice cold Pepsi product. We think that’s a pretty good deal for $6.

Additional Things

If you’re wanting to do more than just skate and dine, then consider throwing in a game of laser tag for $5. Or you can wow the crowd with your karaoke singing. We’ve also got an arcade in which you can win tickets for prizes. There is plenty to do at Roller Kingdom during our Friday After School Supper Skate.

If you find that you are enjoying yourself so much and want to stay for our Friday night late skate sessions, then you are welcome to do so. Hudson reopens for our late skate 7-10pm sesh or $7 and Tyngsboro reopens for the late skate sesh from 7-11pm for $8.

The kids are back to school and fall sports are underway. This may be enough to make parents and sports fans celebrate. At Roller Kingdom, we are looking ahead to the end of the season. When the fall sports season reaches its end, where will the end of season banquet or party be held? We suggest Roller Kingdom!

Our skating rinks in Tyngsboro and Hudson provide plenty of space for your team to celebrate the season. The entire football team along with all friends and family members can easily fit into our 25,000 square foot facility. This is also true for the cross country, soccer, golf, cheer, and field hockey teams. We know you’ll need lots of space to celebrate and space is something we can definitely offer.

In addition to space, we’ve got plenty for your team to do to celebrate throughout your time at Roller Kingdom. You can lace up your skates and continue on the competition with some of our skating games. Or you can grab a vest and laser tag gun and see who will be the champion in our laser tag arena. Maybe you’d rather try your luck at a crane game, skee ball, or other game; we have plenty of opportunity for you in our arcade.

Contact Roller Kingdom in Tynsboro or in Hudson to book your end of season party. We will gladly provide your team with one of the most memorable end of season celebrations ever!

We know that in addition to the symbolic end of summer, Labor Day weekend is often the last hurrah for many as they prepare for the stretch from the start of the school year to winter break. It is also representative of time to kick back, relax, and enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. This year, we wanted to help you kick start your three day weekend by offering free skate rental for children and adults at Roller Kingdom in Hudson and Tyngsboro.

Come on out to our 1pm-4pm sessions on Saturday, August 30th and on Sunday, August 31st. Skate rental is free for all adults and children. Whether you are young, young at heart, or an honored citizen, it does not matter to us! We’ll gladly pass you a pair of skates for free and allow you to celebrate your long weekend on our skating floor.

Don’t forget to challenge the kiddos to a game of laser tag or skee ball, and while you’re at it you can showcase those pipes of yours with karaoke! Whatever you choose to do, we are looking forward to having you roll on in to Roller Kingdom for our free skate rental this Labor Day weekend.

Roller skating has been around for quite some time. Another thing that has been around for quite some time is the key to maintaining a healthy weight relates directly to diet and exercise. The American Heart Association states that, “Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to see the health benefits of physical activity such as lower blood pressure, improved bone health, weight maintenance after weight loss, better sleep, and more energy.”

We don’t know about you, but all of those benefits sound pretty amazing! For this reason, we offer multiple skating sessions throughout the week at both of our Roller Kingdom locations. Whether you are in Tyngsboro or Hudson, we are here for you! 

What will we be doing during your skating sessions with us? Well, we hope that you will be getting your sweat on! The awesome thing about roller skating is that you will be having so much fun moving, and skating out on our floor that you won’t even notice that you are exercising! If you are wanting to dive a little deeper in tracking calories burned while skating, use this helpful calorie calculator for skating from Spark People.

Contact us for additional details if you are interested in finding out more about how skating can help you maintain your health.

School will be back in session before we know it! The start of the school year often brings the realization that clubs, groups, and organizations need a little more funding in order to meet their goals. Now is the time to get ahead of schedule and plan a fundraiser for your group at Roller Kingdom in Tyngsboro or Roller Kingdom in Hudson.

In the past we shared how important it is to plan ahead for fundraising.  This is still true, and we want to encourage you to plan in advance as much as possible with Roller Kingdom. This will allow you to insure that your group is on the calendar and booked for your fundraiser.

As you consider the logistics of your fundraiser, think about what your participatns will do as they join you with a common goal. Will they skate? Will they eat? Will they play laser tag? If the answer is yes to any of these ponderings, then getting a date on the calendar sooner than later will be extremely helpful.

Skating

Roller Kingdom is known first and foremost for roller skating, after all, we are a skating rink! Roller skating is a fun and healthy way for your group to raise funds. We offer 10% of gross receipts back to your school or organization with a minimum of 60 skaters. Contact us for additional details.

Snacking

Our snack bars offer fun food that is delicious and perfect for a treat when taking a skating break. From fried dough to pizza, nachos to popcorn, and slushies to soda, we’ve got you covered! Contact us for more details about snack bar options during your fundraising event.

Sneaking

Yeah, that’s right! If your group opts to include laser tag inside your fundraising activities, there is sure to be some sneaking. This sneaking will take place as participants hide behind obstacles in an effor to avoid the laser beams fro their opponents. You can choose a 3D laser tag game at our Tyngsboro rink or a regular game at our Hudson rink. Whatever you choose, laser tag is fun for all!

Contact Roller Kingdom today to plan ahead for your group’s fundraising needs. We will gladly discuss the details with you to help make sure that you event is as successful as possible.
