Thing to Do
Roller Staking at THE RINK
Sun
1122 E 87th Street Visit linkWe (Ty and I) gave the Navy Pier location a test roll and it was “mid”. Small rink, bumpy skating surface (not smooth like hardwood) and not ideal music (Ty brings his own but I listen to the music). So we are recommending our standard 1-3pm Gospel skate on Sunday. Bonus - costs under $10 (and practically free if you bring your own skates). Well, it’s free - but they accept donations so I always give $5. (Except when I don’t have any cash)
