Skating with Little Ones
by Skatin StationFamilies
Children often learn to skate faster than they expect, especially when they feel safe and having fun. Here are a few ideas for a happy first session.
Start with rollers and strollers
Younger children can warm up during our Rollers and Strollers sessions, which are designed for children seven and under and their parents. Parents are welcome on the floor to help and cheer them on.
Keep the first session short
A shorter visit with plenty of breaks often works better than a long one. Let your child set the pace, and celebrate small wins such as gliding a few steps or stopping on their own.
Bring snacks for the break
Take time to rest and refuel between skating sessions. Outside food and drinks have rules, so check our FAQ before you visit.
