Groovy! Philadelphia, PA’s Outdoor, Retro Rolling Skating Rink is Back

It's one of the summer season's coolest attractions! An outdoor roller skating rink has returned to Center City Philadelphia. So, lace up! It's time to get your rolling on!

Philly, PA's Got an Outdoor Retro Rolling Skating Rink

The Rothman Roller Rink, located at Dilworth Park right near City Hall, has become so it's turned into an annual attraction in Philly. Groovy, eh? And it's giving off serious retro vibes.

Outdoor roller skating rinks are hard to come by, so it's a great way to spend a summer night, but there's also a Matinee Skate!

Instead of being made of tan, wooden planks, the floor of the roller rink is checkerboard! Suspended overhead are dozens of colorful balloons. It looks like SO much fun.

The rink celebrated its season opener mid-April, according to centercityphilly.org.

The roller rink makes for an even more exciting date night or hanging out with friends with cocktails and food available, too! And it looks like the park boasts plenty of fun props, like a vibrant balloon wall, to grab selfies and photos for your socials.

But if you want to take advantage of the fun, make a date soon. The rink is rolling through Sunday, June 30th.
