RollEgoli

RollEgoli is bringing the retro fun of roller skating back – and kids are loving it! This lively rink is the perfect spot for kids to skate, hang out with friends, and show off their moves. And yes, you might just catch us skating too (no judgement!). It’s a great way to get them moving and off their screens. When the hunger hits, grab one of their delicious wood-fired pizzas. Little ones not ready to skate? They’ll enjoy the jungle gym, trampoline, and tree garden complete with a few friendly chickens. Fun, fresh air, and old-school cool – what more could you want?
