1 / 2Car-Vel Skate Center
📍 Northwest Side, TX
San Antonio's Car-Vel Skate Center has run family roller skating since 1960, with weekly sessions including Sunday Family Day (parents skate free with paid child), birthday party packages, school and group rentals, and regular Saturday open skate.
Had my little sister’s 7th birthday party here yesterday, and the staff were great. They were very accommodating for her party and generous. Wish they changed the skating direction during the 2+ hours of being there, my right leg was killing me lol
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children ages 5 and up who want a budget-friendly, community-style skating outing. Sunday Family Day is the best value for parents accompanying young skaters. Birthday party packages are practical and accommodating for young age groups, as shown by a 7-year-old's party experience in reviews.

“Fun place with great music and great skates. The toe brakes are worn down and need to be rotated more often.”

“So the hours posted here are incorrect. We paid $15 per person for just 2 hours!! They are open 2-4 and they close and open back up at 7:00!! This is a rip off!”

“I really like this place for Thursday nights, but the recent floor resurfacing is SO bad. It’s super bumpy in one corner, nothing is flush, and it really needs to be redone. I really hope they fix the floor correctly.”
