Nostalgic fun at a nostalgic price!
Roller skating is officially back in Muskoka, and it’s become one of the region’s favourite ways to move, groove, and enjoy a nostalgic night out. Whether you’re lacing up for the first time or getting back into the rhythm after a long break, Muskoka’s indoor roller‑skating venues are ready for you all summer long.
The Township of Muskoka Lakes continues to host weekly public roller‑skating sessions from June 27 to September 4, 2026. Be sure to check their website for the latest details.

Before lacing up, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Make sure to have cash on hand
- Bring socks that reach at least the ankle
- Pack a thirst quenching drink to stay hydrated
- Dress in activewear, you may work up a sweat!
- Bring a helmet if desired, helmets are not required at the arenas
- Take a small snack with you for afterwards
- Admission is only $2.50 per person!
- Skate Rentals – $2.50/pair or come with your own skates if you have them
Go solo, with a group of friends or as a date. A roller skating date can be playful, adorable and nostalgic at any age! Indoor roller skating is also a great option if the weather isn’t ideal for any outdoor adventures. If its your first time roller skating, take it slow until you get the hang of it to avoid injuring yourself or others around you.
There are great restaurants around both arenas to go to before or after roller skating. Be sure to check out Bala Bay Takeaway, Turtle Jacks, Mrs. H’s Fish & Chips or The Pearl.
