Ready to let the good times roll? Grab your skates and zoom off for a fun day out in Singapore.
Skating may not be top of mind when you think about exercise. But this activity actually burns calories, builds endurance, and it’s gentler on the joints than workouts like jogging. Plus, it’s a blast. Whether you’re into ice skating, roller skating, skateboarding or rollerblading, these skating spots in Singapore are wheely cool. So lace up those skates and practice your twirls!

3. Hi Roller Indoor Skating Rink
Got a thing for nostalgia? Skate back in time to the 80s at this roller disco in Pasir Ris.

To impress your date, sign up for beginner classes before the big day. And keep tabs on Hi Roller’s socials so you can swing by during themed nights for Mandopop melodies, 2000s hits and more.
