Like a productive 12-hour workday, roller skating often conveys the sensation of moving gracefully right before hitting a wall. Roll away from impact with today’s Groupon: for $4, you get admission and skates for two at Dad’s Broadway Skateland in Mesquite (up to a $16 value). This Groupon is valid during all public-skate times listed on the schedule.

Dad’s Broadway Skateland's rink entertains feet bored of walking with some blissful smooth sailing. After lacing up their wheely-boots (a $1 value/pair), skaters can grab hold of the beat and roll contentedly through the hours, performing elaborate figure-11s or skating against the flow in order to change the past. Owner Randy "Dad" Dryk powers gilde parties with music spanning disco to Christian rock, with bass-heavier hip-hop and R & B on Friday nights from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Thursday nights from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., parents skate free with their children to a Dad-curated selection of family-friendly grooves.

Dad 's Broadway Skateland’s prices vary throughout the week.
