Looking for a nostalgic, high-energy night out with the family? We spent an evening at the Friday Night Glow Party at United Skates in Seaford, and it was the perfect throwback experience! With the lights down low and the glow gear turned up, it felt like stepping back in time—in the best way possible.
Kids (and adults!) can roller skate under neon lights to the beats of a live DJ, snack on classic favorites like pizza and chicken fingers, and hit the arcade for even more fun. Whether it’s a rainy day, a hot summer night, or just a case of “I’m bored!”, this spot is a go-to for active family fun on Long Island.
Things to Look Out for During Glow Night:
- A Surprise Visit from the Mascot – Don’t miss it! The United Skates mascot makes an appearance and gets the party going with a quick dance session on the rink.
- Fruit Loop Slushie – This colorful, over-the-top treat was the biggest hit with the kids. Sweet, silly, and definitely Instagram-worthy.
- Birthday Party Fun – We saw several birthday celebrations happening, and each one looked like an absolute blast. If you’re planning a party, this is a spot to seriously consider.
- Dress for the Glow! – Kids wore bright white and neon-colored clothes that lit up beautifully under the black lights. It’s all part of the fun, so dress to shine.
- Beginner-Friendly Skating – Nervous about skating? Don’t be. They have supportive skating devices available for beginners, so everyone can feel confident and join in on the fun.
Pro Tip: Make sure to check the United Skates website or call ahead to confirm the next Glow Party date and times. You can even book online if you’re thinking about hosting your own celebration there.
A Full-Circle Moment
One of the most special parts of our night? It brought back so many memories of my own birthday party at United Skates when I was 9 years old. I even dug up a few old photos to share.
It’s wild (and wonderful) to think that decades later, I’m back in the same place making new memories with my own family. There’s something truly timeless about the experience. Music, lights, laughter, and the joy of just skating in circles with the people you love!
