What Can Skating Do For You?

January 18, 2023 by Writers Leave a Comment

Looking for a fun way to get back in shape and keep your body moving? You should try roller skating! While you may think we’re joking, skating is actually a great full body workout. Also, not only does it do a lot for your body, but your mind as well!

Here are our 3 main reasons why roller skating is the perfect exercise for your mind and body:

  1. Roller skating helps build your muscles and keeps them strong!

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Consistency is key.” That still holds very true when you are trying to get back in shape and develop a workout regimen that works best for you. You’ll have so much fun skating and you’ll want to keep coming back to continue your routine, so you’ll build your muscles and keep them toned!

  1. Skating works those tiny muscles that can sometimes be difficult to work.

Working certain muscles can be difficult to do, especially the tiny ones. It can be a challenge to find a workout in the gym that helps target that particular little muscle. However, skating is a full body workout and can help tone the muscles that can sometimes be difficult to tone.

  1. You can stay healthy while having fun!

Be healthy and have fun? They can coincide? Yes they can with roller skating! In our opinion, the gym is way less fun. Get your workout on with a smile at a skating rink!

Come try it for yourself at Rainbow Rink! Check out our hours of operation for more information on hours and pricing. We can’t wait to see you on the rink getting your workout in at Rainbow Rink!

December 28, 2022 by Writers Leave a Comment

Learning to skate can be an intimidating thought, just like learning any other new skill! It’s never too late to learn something new. The best news is learning to skate is fun for anyone!

Why Should I Learn To Roller Skate?

Why should you learn to skate? Roller skating doubles as a workout. When you have an active hobby such as roller skating, you can skip the gym or the guilty feelings if you didn’t move your body that day. Skating is great exercise and excellent for your health. Remember those 2023 resolutions you had? Hitting the rink can help you reach your health goals!

What Do I Need To Start Roller Skating?

First things first, you’ll need skates! You can always rent skates from Rainbow Rink while you learn what you like in skates and what you don’t like as much! The main thing you want to think about bringing with you is safety gear. Things like a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads can help keep you safe even if you fall. Sometimes that extra layer of safety protection helps you feel safer as you learn!


Don’t be afraid to try something new. You may just find your new favorite hobby when you get out on the skating rink! Rainbow Rink is a great place to get you rolling, on skates that is! Check out our hours of operation for all of our upcoming hours, events, and pricing. Can’t wait to see you learning to skate and having so much fun in the process!

If you don’t skate, you may not know how many skate accessory options there are! From all colors, sparkles, glow in the dark, light up, and so much more, the options are endless when it comes to laces, wheels, and toe jams. You also can’t forget to grab a fun pair of socks to match!

Roller Skates

A brand new pair of skates is the gift of all gifts! We recommend you take them shopping to find their new perfect pair of skates as there are many different kinds available, so you want them to pick the best for the type of skating they do.

A Trip To The Rink

If you love to give experiences or are looking for quality time with the skater, give the gift of a trip to the rink! We’d love to have you skate the day away with us at Rainbow Rink.

Ways Your Family Can Give Back This Holiday Season

October 24, 2022 by Writers Leave a Comment

It’s October, which means the holidays are right around the corner. While it’s exciting to think about the lights, food, quality time, and warmth the season brings even with the cold weather outside, it unfortunately isn’t that way for everyone. That makes it the perfect time to teach your children all about the importance of giving back in the holiday season.

When you give back, it doesn’t have to be much and doesn’t even need to be monetarily. It’s all about going out of your own way for someone else who may be in a harder season of life. Here are some ways your family can give back this holiday season:

Give to a charity

Have your children pick one charity to give to for the holidays! This can be a local charity or a national charity like Toys for Tots.

Volunteer at your local food bank

Food banks typically always welcome some sort of help! Ask your food bank what your family can help do, whether it’s welcome cards, helping collect cans of food, or helping with pick up times.

Choose gifts that give back

There are several different companies that give back a percentage amount or they donate a product with each purchase. Do a little research and buy gifts that give back!

Take food to local hospitals or first responders

The holiday season typically leaves hospitals and first responders busy. Take some food or baked goods to say thank you and show your appreciation.

Help your neighbors

Help your neighbor clean up their yard, shovel snow, or take an elderly neighbor to an appointment. Show some love to the ones around you this holiday season!

Send cards to military members

Have a crafting day and make some holiday cards to send off to military personnel.

We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season full of love and giving back! After you give back this holiday season, make sure to bring your family to skate with us at Rainbow Rink! You can see our winter hours of operation here.

How To Choose The Perfect Halloween Costume

October 3, 2022 by Writers Leave a Comment

Halloween is around the corner, have you picked out your costume? If not, don’t fret! We have you covered with our tips on how to choose the perfect Halloween costume.

The Perfect Halloween Costume For You

This should be the easiest. When it comes to planning your perfect Halloween costume, start with your interest and hobbies. If you’re into sports, dress us as your favorite professional player. If you’re into scary, dress up as your favorite character from a scary movie.

Couples Halloween Costume Ideas

When there’s two people involved, whether it’s your partner or best friend, picking a Halloween costume depends on if you’re dressing to compliment each other. Some ideas are to dress up as your favorite duo or a pair of objects like salt and pepper.

Group Halloween Costume Ideas

When it comes to picking a Halloween costume for several people, you’ll want to think of groups of things, people, or animals. Some ideas are the Power Rangers, zombies, or lions. However, your options are truly unlimited!

Pet Halloween Costume Ideas

A costume for a pet can be such a fun idea! However, it is important that they are comfortable with wearing the costume, especially if they’ve never worn one before. Visit your nearest pet store for some cute pet costumes or search for something that matches your costume online!

How-To-Choose The Best Trick-Or-Treating Costume

When it comes to picking the best trick-or-treating costume, safety should be your main concern. Make sure everyone can see you in the day or night with bright, shiny, or reflective costumes.

Best At Home Halloween Costume

There’s usually always one person left behind to tend to the trick-or-treaters or maybe celebrating Halloween at home is more of your thing. If either of these are the case, that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up! Find something easy and comfy to dress up in to celebrate around the house!

No matter how you choose to spend Halloween and whether you dress up alone, as a couple, or as a group, we hope you have a great Halloween! Be sure to join us for the Great Skate Halloween Party on Wednesday, October 26, 2022, for all the details on the party visit here.

Hit The Jackpot With These Arcade Tips

September 20, 2022 by Writers Leave a Comment

We all remember the days of going to the arcade as a kid and the adrenaline high you get as the tickets are blasting out of the machine. It was always made for such a fun family day! If you’re looking to take your family to the arcade and want to hit the jackpot, you may be wondering what tips or tricks you can learn to win more. Keep reading to learn our best tricks for hitting the jackpot at the arcade!

Play ticket based games

This one may seem a bit obvious, but it’s a good place to start! If you want to win more tickets, you have to make sure you play ticket based games.

Choose the machine with the lowest high score

Let’s say there are 3 basketball games that are all the same. If you choose the machine with the lowest high score, you have more of a chance to get to the bonus round. More playing and points in the bonus round means more tickets!

Choose claw machines that have more toys

Claw machine games typically require a lot of luck. However, they are not impossible. If you choose a claw machine that has more toys stacked inside, you have more of a chance to grab one and beat the odds.


If you want to test all of our tips, come check out the Game Zone at Rainbow Rink! Check out the schedule for our hours of operation and more details.
