Holy time warp batman! We showed up for adult skate night in 70's basketball outfits, and the funniest part about it was that half the people didn't realize we were joking! The Good- Some of the best...

Adult Night is a MUST. At least once. If you were a child of the 80s. Keep your fingers crossed that you'll get a good pair of skates that work properly, that you won't bust yer butt in front of...

1980's flashback decor and equipment (dust included), it's time to scrape the place clean and update it. Meanwhile it's like every other small town skate rink.

A few weeks ago, I went on a date to see the Austin Roller Girls play Atlanta. It was my first Roller Derby Match, and I had no idea what to expect. With a name like the Texecutioners, I kinda...

I grew up roller skating at my local roller rink 4 or 5 times a week listening to the Bee Gees. In the 70's I guess the roller rink was the local after school day care because my parents among others...

I cannot stress how right these other reviewers are. Tuesday nights are only skaters 18 . This is important, actually, because kids on a skate rink once you're an adult are like a crazy obstacle...

I've been to this skating rink several times with my students from class. The building is old so it looks dirtier than maybe it actually is. I still think it could use a good cleaning and a bit of remodeling....

This place is located off 183 behind Burnet. The place is old and rather run down, but it is still worth the visit if you are up for skating. They have a snack bar to visit and rental skates. Once a week in...
