Monterey Skates is currently closed. We’re currently looking for a new venue.

Thanks for your support when we were open at the Monterey County Fairgrounds from May 2025 to March 2026.

We have some unfortunate news to share — Monterey Skates will not be moving forward at the Del Monte Shopping Center. 💔

It would have been one of the fanciest roller skating rinks in the country, but in the end the space simply didn't have the restrooms (or water credits) to convert from retail to a high-traffic skating venue. Federal Realty and the City of Monterey both went above and beyond trying to find a path forward — sometimes the math just doesn't work.

But we're not done yet. 🛼 We have a few promising leads on other spaces and we're actively exploring them. Lesson learned: don't announce anything until the ink is dry on the permits! 😅

🧺 P.S. — We have a laundry basket of lost & found items from the Fairgrounds, including a pair of inline skates someone left behind! DM us if you think something might be yours.

Thank you for rolling with us. This isn't the end of the story — just a plot twist. 💜

This is it — our FINAL weekend at the Monterey County Fairgrounds! It's been an amazing run, and we want to see everyone out on the floor one last time.

This weekend's schedule:
🛼 Friday — All Skate
🛼 Saturday AM — Lessons
🛼 Saturday PM — Family Skate + All Skate (4-7pm)

A few birthday party slots are still available — grab them while you can!

We're still working with the City of Monterey on bringing Monterey Skates to Del Monte Center, and we'll share news as soon as we can.

Come skate with us this weekend — let's make it one to remember!

We’re open THIS WEEKEND at the Monterey County Fairgrounds! Here’s the rundown:

🗓 Friday 3/6: 5–9 PM
🗓 Saturday 3/7: 1–4 PM (Family) & 4–7 PM (All Skate) (No Lessons!)
🗓 Sunday 3/8: 1–4 PM (Family) & 7–10 PM Night Glide

Sunday night is our FINAL Night Glide at the Fairgrounds — DJ, lights, haze, and the rink practically glowing. Don't miss this one. 💜

More Skate Mates this weekend too — we're bringing roughly twice as many, so there should be plenty to go around!

And a Del Monte Center update: we already have keys to the new space and are planning the layout! Permit submission is ready to go. Once approved, we'll announce a target opening date. Stay tuned.

Two more weekends at the Fairgrounds — this one and March 27–28. Come say goodbye to this chapter in style. 🧡

🛼✨ What a ride it’s been. ✨🛼

We’re still soaking in the energy from our most recent opening weekend—the smiles, the music, and this incredible skating community. Thank you for showing up and rolling with us 💛

This weekend Friday is normal, Saturday lessons are selling out quickly, and the Family Skate is on! Saturday night is High School/College Night, get 4 tickets for the price of 3! We’ll miss our adult community on Sunday!!!

More updates coming soon… and trust us, we’re excited for what’s ahead 👀🛼

Only three spots left for our Saturday morning kids lesson at noon, but we can squeeze a few more in if you contact us before (especially if they’re not totally new to skating). We have plenty of spots left in our adult lesson, which has been moved to Saturday morning at 11am (from Sunday). This is because a few weekends we’re not open on Sunday and wanted to keep a consistent time for the adult lesson. After the adult lesson, learners can continue to practice during the kids lesson, and everyone can stay for the Saturday afternoon Family Skate at 1pm!

Happy Holidays from Monterey Skates! As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to say thank you to our incredible skating community. Seeing so many familiar and new faces at the rink has made this first season truly special. We hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year. We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026, starting with two skating weekends per month beginning January 2–4. We’ll be adding January through March tickets to our website soon!

Monterey Skates is open this weekend on Saturday and Sunday December 20-21.

Great news, we’ll be open for our regular Friday Night All Skate from 5pm-9pm on December 19th. The only change is that we’re asking customers to enter through Gate 4 (not Gate 5). Admission is $12 and skate rental is $5. You can now bring outside food, so make this a new family dinner weekend tradition!
