Rollerdrome
📍 Hornby, Canterbury
Outdoor roller skating rink in Hornby, the only public skating venue remaining in Christchurch. Affordable entry, friendly staff, retro atmosphere. Call ahead to confirm opening before making the trip.
What a find!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with older children and teens seeking an affordable, no-frills skating experience. The outdoor setting and retro atmosphere suit those after something different from polished indoor venues. Call ahead without exception — arriving during listed hours gives no guarantee of entry. Worth the trip when open; a wasted journey when not.

“Not open on Sunday like it said it was, so wasted a drive. Looks like a cool outdoor rink but 🤷”
