Did you know there are roller skating rinks in New Jersey that offer FREE roller skating for kids?
You might think roller skating had its time in the sun and isn’t popular with the kids anymore, but you’d be wrong. There might be a lot of falling and stumbling and getting stuck in the middle of the rink at first, but once kids get the hang of it it’s a fun time! Get some exercise, show off your speed and enjoy your favorite tunes at a local roller rink.
