The glossy rinks of Skateland & Great Skate Glendale act as oblong playgrounds for groups of rolling revelers. After lacing up rental roller or in-line skates, visitors wheel into the arena for two to four hours of gliding, accompanied by the pulsing rhythms of music and the welcome absence of hall monitors. At the Chandler facility, a grand mural of a coastal scene encircles the rink. Meanwhile, disco balls, colored lights, and dangling streamers give a prismatic glow to Mesa's rink when the lights are off; along the way, hanging orb lights, murals of fireworks, and passing clowns eating birthday candles lend a festive air to each ride.

In the food court, a royal spread of soft drinks and savory slices of pizza is laid out for weary skaters. Check the schedules for Chandler, Mesa, and Glendale for open-skate times.
