Brooklyn Children’s Museum Launches Rooftop Roller Skating for Kids

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum has introduced a rooftop roller skating program called “Empire Skate of Mind,” reviving a nostalgic local rink experience. The events target neighborhood children, many of whom are first-time skaters. The initiative reimagines a beloved bygone rink, offering free or low-cost access to skating on the museum’s rooftop. The program aims to provide safe, accessible recreational activities for Brooklyn youth, blending physical activity with community engagement. The museum’s rooftop setting offers panoramic views of the city, enhancing the skating experience. The events are part of a broader effort to activate underused museum spaces and attract local families. No specific dates or frequency were provided, but the program is ongoing.
