With its combination of friction-free motion and wholesome fun, roller skating quickly replaced ditch digging and dancing frenetically to "Shipoopi" as America's favorite first-date activity. Rediscover the appeal of the wheels with today's open skating Groupon to Rich City Skate in Richton Park. As of the current summer schedule, open skating is available on weekends, Monday nights, and Wednesday afternoons. Choose from the following options:
- For $10, you get admission and skate rental for two to any open skate (up to a $21 value).
- For $19, you get admission and skate rental for four to any open skate (up to a $42 value).
- For $29, you get admission and skate rental for six to any open skate (up to a $63 value).
Dedicated to fostering fun, healthy exercise with strapped-on wheels and turned-up music, Rich City Skate hosts open skate sessions throughout the week in a safe, secure environment. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, skaters hit the boards for open family skate, circling the rink awash in glow lights and pulsing tunes for all ages. Starting at 9 p.m. on Monday and Friday nights, the Rich City rink exclusively opens its doors to adults, where skaters 18 and older hold hands to ease their arthritis as the speakers blast R&B favorites and FDR fireside-chat recordings.
In between laps, for an extra fee skaters can refuel on popcorn and nachos at Rich City Skate’s concession stand. Lessons ($3 extra) take place one hour before afternoon open skates on the weekend, and demonstrate skating techniques such as proper form, braking, and the subtle difference between turning left and crashing into the wall.
Rich City Skate's rates fluctuate throughout the week.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Presidential Vehicles
When the president isn't signing bills in the Oval Office or burying time capsules in the front yard of the White House, he is traveling. Here's a look at how he gets around:
Presidential state car: Used for trips to the grocery store near the White House that sells President's Choice–brand products. The president also takes the state car to local youth soccer matches, where he likes to throw a soccer ball into a garbage can to teach lessons about wastefulness.
Air Force One: This presidential plane, named after the 1997 Harrison Ford thriller, exceeds the speeds of other planes its size because it flies with only the president aboard. This is why every president must obtain a pilot's license or at least one of those hats with wings on it.
Presi-dome: A flatbed pickup truck carries a hammer-resistant, laminated-glass egg that the president stands inside during parades to help attendees imagine what he would look like in a snow globe. The first egg design, made out of crystallized sugar, had to be abandoned after underfed newsboys swarmed the protective shell and consumed its gooey William McKinley center.
Feet: Because of the Transitive Law of Presidents, when the president walks down the middle of the street, all onlookers must be encased in cars to help keep him safe.
