What it’s like
Rollerskating under disco lights with arcade games and karaoke, on a Bristol rink that runs family sessions on Sundays.
The floor's wooden, the lights are proper disco and the sound system does the heavy lifting, so getting your kid upright on skates for the first time feels a lot less painful than it might. Once they've got the hang of it there's arcade games to raid and a karaoke room if you fancy topping up the noise levels even further. Lessons are on offer too if wobbly ankles need a bit of help.
Entry starts at £2, which is refreshingly low for something billed as a big night out, though lockers are another £2 plus a £5 deposit you get back when you hand the key in. Sundays from midday to 5pm is the family session and the one to go for with younger kids, since the evening slots on other days bring age restrictions after 7pm and 9pm that push things towards teens and adults. Under-12s need an adult with them on the rink, and staff can hold that line at their own discretion depending on how steady your child actually is on eight wheels.
Food-wise it's a proper bar setup rather than a snack bar, burgers, loaded fries, wings, halal and vegan options all listed, so you can make an evening of it rather than just grabbing a drink. Parking's on site but charged, and there's no refund policy if plans change, only a reshuffle to another session if they've got space.
Birthday parties are clearly a big part of the business here, with kids packages from £18.50 a head and teen ones from £20.50, minimum five people. The platinum kids package at £24.50 is the one to save for if you want the full works rather than the basic run.
