Has your family been to Stafford Skate Centre yet? We love it and here’s why!
Stafford Skate Centre!
Ahhhh, remember the old days of roller-skating to music, hanging out with your friends and meeting new people? They’re still here!
Taking the family to Stafford Skate Centre is like a blast from the past. Tunes, games like limbo, skate-dancing. Cheap eats and drinks, places to relax and laugh and learn-to-skate and skill classes. There’s something here for everyone!
Where is Stafford Skate Centre?
Their tag line is “Fun out of the Sun!” and you can find them at 280 Stafford Road, Stafford. They’re just before Stafford State School if you’re heading west from the entrance to the airport tunnel. It can be a bit trafficky and difficult to turn around here so try and make sure you plan your arrival outside of peak traffic times.
Families Tip: There’s a HUGE carpark in front of the building that’s shared with a dog-holiday shuttle, so if you time it right you might get to wave to some cute pooches going on holidays before you come in for a skate!

Stafford Skate Centre for parties
This place has been around for GENERATIONS. Spread the joy of a skating birthday party to your team. Party bookings include admission, skate hire, a birthday cake, small drink, ice cream and a snack size chocolate. You also get your own reserved table. Minimum guest number is 10 and price per guest is $14 for the day skates and $15 for evening.
Note: if a party guest wants to hire blades it’s not covered in the birthday party cost and will be an extra $4.
What facilities are available at Stafford Skate Centre?
Look, this place hasn’t changed much since we were all kids. There’s plenty of seating if you are a spectator both inside and outside in a dedicated courtyard. There are of course toilets for both genders. Due to the short opening hours (and to keep your entry costs down) they don’t sell a lot of food there outside of birthday parties. You’ll see in the photo above the selection – chocolate bars, ice-blocks and some hot food – chips etc.
Prams and wheelchairs should be okay to come through into the seating areas but it can be a tight fit when it’s busy.
