Phone number: 508-824-4866

There's a lot going on at Forrest's Family Fun Center, and you're sure to have a great time when you visit. The large skating area allows for plenty of room to get your skating feet in gear. Once you've got the hang of it, you'll be ready to show off your moves. You can attend public skating times on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If you want the place to yourself, consider hosting your own event. They offer private party rentals and birthday party events that are a blast for everyone.

When you need a break from skating, head to the arcade to play some games until you're ready to hit the rink again. Skate rentals are available, but if you want to rock your very own pair, check out the on-site pro shop where the staff can help you pick out the perfect pair of skates or rollerblades. If you want to take skate lessons, Forrest's offers those too. Give them a call to find out more about times and instructors.

Carousel Family Fun Center

Phone number: 781-857-1286

Put on your skates and head to Carousel Family Fun Center. They hold open skate sessions on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as Wednesdays. So there's no excuse not to go. You can hold your child's next birthday party here, with the option of hosting your party during open skate times or renting the entire facility for you and your guests. Party packages include skate rentals, pizza, and game tokens for the arcade.

The rink is always bright, cheerful, and clean, so you'll feel safe and comfortable while you're there. Adults enjoy the adults-only skate nights, complete with a DJ and snack bar. They also offer skate lessons for those who want to improve their moves. It might be a bit of a drive from Boston, but you'll have a great time at Carousel Family Fun Center.

Roller World

Location: 425R Broadway (Route 1 South), Saugus, Massachusetts

Phone number: 781-233-9507

Since 1981, Roller World has been providing an entertaining way for kids and adults alike to get up and move. Skating is the ideal way to exercise. It's fun, social, and takes a lot of muscles. This is the perfect rink for those with younger kids or friends who have no skating experience, as they have a beginner's rink that's separate from the main one. Tuesday is adult night, so grab your friends and skates and get ready to have fun. Otherwise, families can visit during public skate times on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Check the schedule for exact times.

Their pricing includes skate rental, but if you'd like to get your own pair of skates, there's an on-site pro shop with plenty of options. You can also find apparel, tools, and souvenirs, so make sure you stop by before you leave to see what they have.
