This roller skating rink has been in Vandalia for years. It is pretty much your average skating rink, but it is relatively clean and safe. Like most rinks, you can bring your own skates or roller blades or rent theirs. If you own your own roller blades, they will inspect them on your way in the door, and they will let you use them as long as there aren’t bolts sticking out that could hurt someone. They have a concession stand with your typical snacks such as hot dogs and pretzels. Skateworld encourages birthday parties, but (at least a few years ago when I hosted one) they won’t let you bring in a cake. They want you to buy Little Debbie snacks from the concession stand instead. Maybe they’ve changed this rule since then, because I know they received a lot of complaints about it. Overall, it’s a decent place to go for a couple hours of entertainment.
