Castle Fun Center Announces Return of Skating Rink, Soft Opening

Back in early 2020, think weeks before any of us really knew what COVID was, or what the world would soon look like, The Castle Fun Center announced they would be introducing 'The Castle InflataPark' in March. Described as 'an all-new and totally immersive inflatable environment. So much more than just a bounce-house, The Castle InflataPark is an eye-popping 11 thousand square feet, featuring 12 interconnected activity areas.'

 

With the announcement back in 2020 also came the news of the closing of their roller skating rink, which would be replaced by the InflataPark.

Fast forward to now, The Castle Fun Center has announced the return of roller skating and a brand new rink!

They will be hosting a soft opening this upcoming weekend, with skating hours during the following:

  • Friday 9/13 3-6pm, 6:30-9:30pm
  • Saturday 9/14 1-4pm, 5-9pm
  • Sunday 9/15 1-5pm

Their general operating hours can be found below:
