According to their website, United Skates plans special events for kids and family throughout the year.
“If you’re looking for an amazing time packed with family fun … come to United Skates and discover our next special event planned just for you,” their website reads.

Tickets are already on sale and must be purchased in advance to guarantee admission. Admissions vary per session, but start at $12.00 per person, with skate rentals at $6. Participants can bring their own skates. Sessions are typically an hour and a half.
All children ages 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult chaperone that is 25 or older. There is maximum of three children per adult.
United Skates says they take many steps to ensure a “clean, fun, friendly and safe skating experience.” In adherence to the city’s COVID-19 guidelines, they will perform temperature checks upon check in, have stations available for sanitizing, encourage social distancing throughout the area, close the area between sessions for cleaning and sanitizing and encourage masks for guests and staff at all times.
