According to their website, United Skates plans special events for kids and family throughout the year.

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.
