Piccadilly Palace Roller Rink, Union

Location: 181 Audrey Ln., Union, MO 63084

This rink offers arcade games, birthday parties, a concession stand, and of course, skating! It used to be called Nothing Fancy but it was bought out in 2023. It's very large and clean. They are in the process of adding go karts next door too! 

They have traditional roller skates and also inline skates, but they do cost $2 more.

Lots of tables and arcade games line the wall all the way down. They do have walkers to assist young skaters.

They added blacklight indoor Pirate-themed minigolf in 2024. 

My daughter was invited to a skating party when she was 5 and I honestly think that is too young. Most of the kids couldn't get the hang of it and were crying and frustrated. Many were also falling and hurting themselves. As a result, I tagged this as a school-aged activity. Once they're old enough, it is a fun and inexpensive activity.
