Arkansas Skatium offers graceful gliders their choice of eight-wheeled or double-bladed fun on the facility’s radiant rinks. Roller skates gather speed as skaters skim across the slick surface, reliving youthful fantasies of becoming a roller-derby star or 1950s drive-in waitress. Coast among the crowds as the upbeat melodies of disco classics and retro rock put a little pep in each push. Switching climates, fun-loving freewheelers can spin and twirl over to the ice rink to practice double toe loops, triple axels, or quadruple stackers before chowing down on slices of piping-hot pizza blanketed in a choice of pepperoni, sausage, or plain cheese.

Skaters ages five and older seeking to sharpen their frozen-surface skills may opt instead to enroll in a series of ice-skating lessons. In addition to 30 minutes of personalized instruction, participants garner an hour of practice time on the ice and three months of open skating by blade, wheel, or greased tennis shoe. Although skate rentals are included, students receive a complimentary $20 credit towards the purchase of their very own set of sharp shoes from Arkansas Skatium's pro shop.
