Aurora Skate Center

School, Church, and Corporate Private Parties

So you want to rent the roller rink. Here's what you need to know.

There are several factors that determine the cost of a typical private party.

1. The number attending will influence personnel requirements (DJ, floor guards, skateroom, snackbar).
2. Do you want food provided for the skaters? Generally, excepting birthday cakes, no food or drinks can be brought into the skating rink. We are particularly proud of our snack bar and the quality of the food we offer. Our pizzas are exceptional.
3. How long do you want to rent the skating rink? Typically, school parties, church outings, family reunions, and corporate events are two hours in length.

PRIVATE PARTY RATES:

Two hours: $400 (add $50 for each additional half hour)

SKATE RENTAL: Regular-$2.00, Speed-$3.00, Inline-$4.00

Depending on the number of skaters, we can determine a flat rate for skate rental. That permits party attendees to get any type of skate they want without the need of a ticket or you may decide to let the skaters rent skates for themselves if they need them.

SCHEDULING A PARTY

Look at the "Activities Calendar" to see what dates and times are available and then match the availabilities with your plans and pick a date. Call or email us (see "Contact Us") with your request and we will be in touch immediately.

SNACKBAR AND FOOD SERVICE

Aurora Skate Center's snackbar is always open during skating parties and public sessions. You can structure your party to include food (usually a slice of pizza and a medium soda) for a special discounted price or you can have the snackbar available to your skaters should they wish to purchase food for themselves.

 

MUSIC

We currently have over 84,000 songs in our computer system. Our DJs are very skilled in adapting our library of music to the tastes, age, and backgrounds of our skaters. Music with explicit language or content is never played during public sessions. The music played in a private party can be more flexible, but a responsible adult must decide what type of music is acceptable and can be requested by your guests.

 

One non-negotiable rule:

No person wearing skates can pick up a child at anytime. It doesn't matter how good a skater you think you are! The recent death of a youngster (fortunately not in Illinois) serves to remind us of the obvious danger of a fall with a child in hand. Read more on this issue in FAQ.

 

Negotiable Rules:

Generally, no headgear of any kind can be worn on the skating floor. The reason is simple: if a hat, headband or dewrag falls off the head, someone else can be tripped and hurt badly. Exceptions would involve recent surgery, chemotherapy, or religious requirements.

During public sessions, we do not charge spectating parents to be in the building. We do not allow any young people (excepting age three and under) to be in the building without skates on. Most parents appreciate not needing to be concerned about young people who are "Hanging Out." Private parties have some flexibility with this policy.
