Any Lufkin area religious group that is looking for a fun outing or field trip should make plans to attend the upcoming Christian Skate Night at Skate Ranch. This skating party gives your small group, bible study or choir a safe and fun environment to come together and bring your families along, too. We are also hosting a Christian Skate Night at Skate-O-Rama, so Nacogdoches religious groups should take note, too.

The Christian Skate Night is on Sunday, February 23, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m. at both facilities. This is a wonderful celebration of family, friends and faith. All ages are welcome and encouraged to attend, and admission is only $3 plus skate rental, which is also $3. During those two hours of skating, we’ll be playing contemporary Christian music that provides the perfect beat for skating as well as lifts you up spiritually.

When you are at a loss of things to do with the entire family, roller skating, especially during our Christian Skate Night, is really a perfect solution. It is exercise, it is affordable and it is fun. So tell all your friends and families to come to our Texas roller rinks if they are looking for wholesome things to do with the family.

Valentine’s Day is this Friday, and it’s time to make plans for the evening. One of the best things about Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday is that you can spend the whole weekend celebrating. Skate-O-Rama and Skate Ranch are each hosting a Valentine’s Day late skate from 7 p.m. to midnight. This fantastic party gives you the opportunity to spend Valentine’s Day with all of your sweethearts – your husband/wife and your daughter/son, and then you can head out on Saturday night for a more intimate date with your significant other.

You know that your kids will love spending the holiday with you, especially when you take them to a skating party. There will be great food and fun music as well as games, relays and prizes. The only difference is that since this is our Valentine’s Lake Skate, pairs will be competing instead of individuals. If you are in it to win, make sure you choose your partner wisely. And you can expect more couples skates than usual.

Spend Valentine’s Day with Skate Ranch and Skate-O-Rama and make this year’s celebration fun for the whole family. Whether you are looking for things to do in Lufkin or Nacogdoches, we have you covered. Admission is $12.

Skate Ranch is pleased to offer monthly Homeschool skate sessions. These events will be held the last Friday of every month from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. and are matinee skating sessions, which means that admission is only $3 and you can use your Kids Skate Free passes. The snack stop will be open for you to purchase drinks and food, and the DJ will play songs from a Christian playlist. Basically, these monthly roller skating sessions are the perfect outing for your homeschoolers.

While there are many advantages to being homeschooled, one thing that kids miss are school functions. We hope by offering these skate sessions that we can fill that void for your student. Every month, your child can skate and get the opportunity to meet other kids who are homeschooled. In addition, you can meet other parents of homeschoolers and share tips and advice that you have learned through your experience.

As we said, the Homeschool Skate Sessions will be the last Friday of every month, beginning this week on January 31, 2014. So, come to our Lufkin, TX roller skating rink for a fun-filled homeschool event.

Who says that New Year’s Eve is for the 21 and over crowd? At Skate Ranch we think as long as you can stay up until midnight, you deserve the opportunity to celebrate. Our annual New Year’s Eve Skate Party begins at 7:00 p.m. on December 31, 2013, and we promise a good time for the whole family.

Not only will the evening be filled with 6 hours of skating, music and food, but we have a few special activities planned in honor of the holiday. We will do a countdown at midnight, and celebrate the stroke of midnight with a balloon drop. Balloons filled with different prizes fall from the ceiling and you’ll have to pop them in order to claim those prizes.

Also, we are bringing back “Wrap the Rink,” a favorite event of the kids. We give out toilet paper and let the kids (and adults if you want to participate, too) go wild. You won’t believe how beautiful the rink can be when it’s decorated in white.

There is no doubt that when it comes to New Year’s Eve events in Lufkin, our party is one of the best deals in town. Admission is $13, and as a Happy New Year present, we are offering free skate rentals. The party begins at 7:00 p.m. and concludes at 1 a.m. Come join our celebration because giving your kids an active evening of skating is a fun alternative to the typical NYE plans of watching the ball drop.

Christmas break is nearly upon us, and we want you to spend those days off from school roller skating in Lufkin with us. So, we have added extra hours and two late skate events as well as passed out free admission passes in the community. Work hard this last week of school, but breathe easy knowing that a roller skating break is on the horizon.

Christmas Late Skate

There is hardly a better way to celebrate a school break than by joining this Christmas party on skates on December 20th. The festivities begin at 7 p.m. and we will continue the fun until midnight, and we can promise those five hours are be gone before you even realize it. We have many activities planned in honor of the season, including a snow ball fight. You know as well as I do that snow is not often seen here in Lufkin, and this might be your only chance to participate in a snow ball fight this year. So be sure to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting snow on. In fact, pull out those holiday sweaters that you are too embarrassed to wear in public because they might win you some great prizes in our Ugly Sweater Contest. We’ll also have different games, prizes, food, music and more. You definitely don’t want to miss it. Admission is $12 and the event is on Friday, December 20, 2013 from 7 p.m. to 12 p.m.
