1 / 3Rollerway Skate Centre - Newtown
đ Newtown, VIC
Rollerway Skate Centre in Newtown, Geelong, has operated for over 30 years. A separate beginners room at the back of the venue is designed for first-timers, with stability frames available for young skaters. Skate and blade hire on site.
We had never been here before and as a last minute decision to go, the staff were wonderful. We were able to hire everything we needed, it wasn't overcrowded so plenty of room to skate freely. They even have a seperate beginners room out the back!!! Will definitely come back đ
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children new to skating who need a non-intimidating first experience â the separate beginners room removes the anxiety of sharing ice with confident skaters. The generational aspect is real: many parents skated here as children and are now bringing their own kids. Staff patience with beginners is the venue's strongest asset.

âReally lovely place to rollerskake, people there are super friendly and the staff are really kind! I've been here a couple of times and always feel excited to come back again, whether on my own or with friends! The only 'downsides', even then that might be too harsh is that the music and lights can be a little excessive, it isn't a make or break and that's just me being fussy. 10/10, would love to fall down dozens of times and get back up to learn again :) Update: 6 Months after my initial review - I'm 100% keeping this as a 5 Star Location, I'm always eager to visit and I had a lovely party here with some friends who shared my love of Rollerskating for the day. Thankyou to all of the staff working here, I've always appreciated the effort they continue putting into this amazing place :)â
