Frequently Asked Questions
What are the typical admission and skate rental costs?
General admission ~ $8 for a 2-hour session, extra session ~$2.50. Skate rental around $5; skate trainers for under-10s also available for $5.
Do they host Adult Night sessions?

When was Skate City established?
Founded decades ago, Skate City’s roots date back to its first Colorado Springs location on Academy Boulevard in 1973. Owner Jeff Ingrum took over that rink in 1988, then expanded by acquiring other Skate City locations—like the one on Austin Bluffs Parkway in 1990—and ultimately grew the chain to cover the metro area. Under Ingrum’s leadership, Skate City has maintained its focus on skating culture rather than transforming into a generic family entertainment center, which has helped preserve its nostalgic charm and loyal community following.
In 2023, Skate City Academy celebrated its 50th anniversary with a free admission skate night, cake, and community celebration—underscoring its deep connection to local families and its enduring legacy. Today, Ingrum’s organization spans multiple rinks, with parts of the business branching into apparel, sports associations, and even the dedicated Pepsi Roller Sports Arena for competitive roller sports.
How do sporting programs work?
Skate City Sports programs require a membership (~$30/month) and offer inline hockey, ball hockey, speed skating, and artistic skating—with some programs including free skates or teams like Junior Club Hockey.
Is there a “Skate Free” membership for families?
Yes, families can join the “Families Skate Free” club for $10/year per member, which unlocks free skating sessions during designated times.
