Aurora Skate Center has been a community resource since 1955. We pride ourselves on our hardwood maple floating floor (81x174; considered a large intermediate sized floor).
We offer something for everyone, from the little ones to "seasoned" adults. Programs include sessions for homeschoolers, children with disabilities, morning exercise (Fitness Skate), school and church fundraisers, Thursday's "Old School Music from the 70s, 80s, & 90s," as well as competitive teams for figure and speed skaters and a Women's Roller Derby league, the Aurora 88s.
Our "School and Skate" programs include:
- First report card – free pass for every “A" (grades 5 - 8)
- The summer 10-week “Skate Free" pass program (106,000 distributed this summer)
- “Rebate Skate” fundraisers for schools' parent organizations
- Fundraiser “Skate Parties” for schools' parent organizations (to read the "small print," see "School and Skate Programs" under the Parties menu)
We have a huge selection of music (157,183 songs and counting!!!) in our computer.
On Mondays we host a live organ-music dance session with Frank Pellico, organist for the Chicago Blackhawks, playing the only triple-deck Hammond X-66 Pipe Organ (w/ 26-ranks of pipes) in the country. See Friday and Saturday night on the "Daily Calendar" for "Fresh Fridays" and "Old vs. New School Saturdays!"

At the Aurora Skate Center, the management and ownership take the concept of "community resource" very seriously. Among the many channels available to skaters are several avenues to express competitive instincts and competitive drive. There are avenues available to each temperament and each physical activity style preference within the world of roller skating to satisfy each person's personal quest toward discovery and enthusiastic learning.
Think of the options available to each of you:
- Figure Skating: the "Science" of skating. Strength, balance, and aerobics are among the primary benefits of figure skating. Options include: Men's and Women's Figures, Team and Solo Dance, Free Style and Pairs.
- Speed Skating: the wind and dream flyers of our sport. Strength, endurance, and aerobics (the feeling of flying) are among the primary benefits of speed skating.
- Women's Roller Derby: the Aurora Roller Skating Center hosts its own, young, and developing Women's Roller Derby league. At this time, women's derby hosts practice sessions on Tuesday and Sunday night starting after the last activity. See the "Daily Calendar" for updates on each of those days. Practice Sessions are closed; by invitation only.
- Roller Hockey: There is no Hockey team at the Aurora Skate enter. Please call the rink and we will tell you of any skating venues that host roller hockey.
- Recreation Skating: many opportunities occur each weekend in the greater Chicago area for recreational skaters. Our Monday night "Organ/Dance" session with Frank Pellico (the organist for the Chicago Blackhawks) is the perfect venue for adult skaters wishing to retain or regain their physical stamina and balance.
