Roller skating and ice skating can be an enormous amount of fun — and amazing exercise! Skating is a complete cardiovascular workout, and it's also great for developing your sense of balance. If you're ready to hit the rinks and go roller skating, consider one of these spots near our Jacksonville apartments:
Sk8 City Jacksonville
Sk8 City Jacksonville is open for public skating Tuesday through Thursday. A special session on Sunday evening is exclusively devoted to adults. The interior of the space is colorful and clean, with a sky-blue glossy skating surface at the center. In addition to its rink, this space also hosts special features and activities, such as arcade games and glow-in-the-dark mini-golf. Sk8 city is available for private rental if you'd like to host a special event.
Skate Station Funworks
Skate Station Funworks in nearby Mandarin is open to the public every day except for Monday and Tuesday. If you'd like to learn how to skate, or if you'd like to improve your skating skills, then you can take skating lessons here on Saturdays between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. Your instructor will teach you the fundamentals and will even throw in some time for roller dance. Skate Station Funworks also hosts roller derby and roller hockey for those who might enjoy those types of team skating.
Community First Igloo
If you'd like to try your hand (or feet) at ice skating, consider Community First Igloo. It also plays host to the Jacksonville Icemen team. The rink is typically open for public skating on Friday and Saturday. But be sure to check their schedule before heading out. If you're a bit more advanced than the average skater, this rink provides "freestyle skating" time slots in which to practice your special routine.
