Kids Skate Free at Skateland USA of Hickory

June 7, 2018


Roller skating is a fun family activity and a great way to stay active too.  Studies show that roller skating provides a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body’s muscles, especially the heart. Just one hour of skating burns between 400 and 600 calories!

In a day where child obesity is at an all-time high and the economy continues to struggle, Skateland USA in Hickory wants to play their part in fighting these two important battles. They are members of the growing trend in the roller skating industry, kidsskatefree.com, a FREE program where families receive 2 free skating passes per child (10 years old or younger) each week. And what is really great is that it is a year-round program, not just a summer promotion.

So sign up today and have fun skating all summer long, and beyond!
