Kids Skate Free Program – Fun Summer Activity for Kids
We recently reminded you about the Kids Bowl Free program & let you how much we love this program, but did you know there is a Kids Skate Free program? They have now offered this program for several years. My kids love to roller skate, so this is a great program to keep them active. This one does not have as many participating locations as the bowling program does, but if you live near one of the roller rinks that offer it you might want to get your kids signed up! It looks like there are two skating rinks (Lynnwood and Spokane Valley) as well as one in Idaho.
There have been some notable changes to the program this year. They are still calling it a Kids Skate Free program, but there are now some fees associated with it. This is how it works:
- You sign up for a membership for $4.99 (one-time fee)
- You will receive 2 Kids Skate Free passes per membership, per week. So it is still a pretty great deal (under $5 for two kids to skate free once a week all summer).
- Most rinks require a small fee for skate rentals (usually $2 to $4). Some will allow you to bring your own skates at no charge, but call ahead to confirm that.
The details will vary depending on the skate center, but most offer passes for kids who are 10 years and younger (sometimes they cover skates, but it looks like this year there is a small skate fee rental). Some allow for an upgrade to inline skates for a small fee and others allow you to bring your own skates to make it completely free.
You can check out both of the pages above to find the details of the free skating for kids opportunity, and get signed up.
If you’d like to see this program come to your local skating rink, the Kids Skate Free program actually has a letter you can print off to bring to your local rink & share with them about the program. Chances are that they most likely have not heard of it as it’s still a pretty new program & is just slowly expanding to more rinks around the country.
I’ve been signed up for this program for several years and actually have received the Kids Skate Free passes all year long – not just during the summer & it’s a great way to save at the roller skating rink!
