Expensive to go skating

Recommended Posts

There are some truly self righteous people on here who obviously have bags of cash always do every thing right and never question or complain about anything!

Well I shall also go to the bad mother corner because I too would have expected £10 to be enough for 1 child to take part in the activity get a cold drink and be able to get home!

 

Thankyou Chocaholic. I am not alone:hihi::hihi:

Why not try roller skating, plus you don't get wet when you fall over... Try Skate central on Queens Road, it's great fun and only £5.50 including skate hire or £3.50 if you have your own roller skates !!

It wasn't just one child though, it was 2 children.

 

I think the prices are pretty fair to be honest, some of the sessions are just £3 (if you have a lifecard).

 

There are no longer many places where kids can take part in activities completely free of charge unfortunately and I'd much prefer to spend £10 knowing that two children were pretty much safe and know where they are for 2 hours than them hanging around on the street.

I thought the OP said the price was for just one child.

I assumed he was paying for both?

 

Either way,

 

£3 each = £6.

£2.80 bus = £8.80

Take a drink with them? (many do).

 

Still not bad for 2 kids to get plenty of exercise, socialise and meet new people in a relatively safe environment.

Price was just for the OPs child

 

At peak times its £6.30 for juniors, and £2.10 for skate hire. £8.40.
