This museum tell a story of true american history, not only did christopher columbas wear roller skates, but everyne at the time did too. Althought i have never actually been to the museum it seems fun but also it looks like a small little museum
A long time ago my friend and I roller skating accross NYC, her using roller skates and me using roller blades, Everytime I go to the museum it reminds me of more innocent days and our friendship. She passed on, so this is all i have left and the memories
For those who read my reviews you know that I have a passion to locate and report on odd little museums. Well this sure qualifies it's not large but it is comprehensive about the history of skates and skating. Imagine being able two sea skates from 1814. Well I didn't even know they were skating in 1814 and today that's over 200 years old. wow! now the rest of the museum has various skates, over time, motorized skates, four wheel skates, inline skates, and skates that defy description as people just wanted to have a good time and go skating. I would think you needed skating because not everybody had ice year-round to do ice skating. But what do I know! Anyway, there skate competitions around the country, there were the days of the roller rinks, and all the wonderful things of the past, there were these designs that increase safety and speed there's just a whole lot to see here, if you stop and read, and a great calliope box that you need quarters for. So bring some quarters and come and enjoy the skating Museum. I thought it was wonderful.
Very neat collection of roller skating memorabilia and equipment. However, the museum is located, quite strangely, in the rear of an office building. We wanted to buy something from the gift shop but there was hardly a soul in the whole building, and we had to grab someone from the cubicles to complete the transaction. Overall, just a kinda weird museum experience.
A very unique and super cool museum of the history of Roller Skating. I was trying to figure out what the previous reviews meant by “don’t forget your quarters,” but after visiting I would say bring a quarter or two!
