PUBLIC KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY FAQS

NEW! SPECTATORS: (Not skating, just watching)

Everyone entering the facility and not roller skating will either need to use a spectator pass or will be charged admission to enter.  This includes spectator parents. PLEASE NOTE: Five complimentary spectator tickets come with your party package.   For example: This can be used for parents of the birthday honoree, parents of children attending, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other family and friends that are not skating. If a spectator uses a spectator ticket and later decides to skate, they are just charged for skate rental.

BABIES/TODDLER SPECTATOR: (Up to 32” tall)

Babies and toddlers under 32” are not charged to enter if they are just watching. If spectator baby/toddler would like to skate, a party ticket can be used, or general admission and skate rental would be charged.  Bounce Quest playground admission would be charged if they would like to play in the playground.
