The first roller rink was built outdoors and slicked with oil, a design scrapped when many skaters dangerously sped up, suddenly took flight, and left behind all they knew for life among the clouds. Experience earthbound delight with today's Groupon: for $25, you get admission for four (up to a $36 value), four roller-skate rentals (an $8 value; speed/in-line skates not included), one pizza (a $10 value), and four small drinks (a $6 value) at Dreamland Skate Center.

Dreamland Skate Center's recently refurbished arena entices skaters of all ages to roll the hours away with a fun, lively atmosphere and theme nights that incorporate old-school styles and dazzling light and sound. Kid-pleasing murals, colored lights, and fireflies sporting rhinestone vests bathe visitors in a warm glow as they lace up their wheel-shoes and glide over to the newly refinished floor. Depleted calves can congregate around a hearty pizza and quartet of soft drinks from the concession stand, and breathers from the rink reveal an arcade stocked with classic games such as Pac-Man, To Kill a Zombie Mockingbird, and Space Invaders. Open during daytime and evening hours throughout the week, Dreamland lights up with a 15-to-20-minute Cosmic show every Friday and Saturday night, when neon lights bump and grind to pulsating beats.

Dreamland Skate Center's prices vary throughout the week.
