We just went to a private party at Roller Palace, in Beverly MA. What a great place! As a mom, my favorite part was the price (very low) and the location (about 1/4 mile off route 128). The kids had a blast, and the place was big, bright, friendly and clean (well, clean for a roller rink.) We are booking my daughter's birthday party there, and we will definately go skate over winter vacation. Check out the schedule-the ice rinks around here are hardly ever open to the public, but this roller rink is open nearly every day.
