Frequently Asked Questions
Everything families ask before their first visit — answered.
General / About Fun Slides
What is carpet skating?
Carpet skating uses special plastic skates that strap over your shoes. Guests glide across carpet-covered ramps, rails, and half-pipes. It’s easier to learn than roller skating or ice skating — most first-timers are comfortable within a few minutes.
What ages is Fun Slides best for?
Fun Slides is most popular for kids ages 4–13, but all ages are welcome. With multiple activity zones — carpet skating, dodgeball, ninja course, bounce houses, arcade, and more — guests of different ages stay engaged throughout the visit.
Do kids need skating experience?
No. All first-time skaters are assigned a skate instructor until they’re ready to go on their own. No experience needed before you arrive.
Is Fun Slides good for rainy days?
Yes. Fun Slides is fully indoors. Weather never affects the visit. It’s a consistent option for families looking for indoor activities in Pittsburgh when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Do I need a reservation for public skate?
No. Public skate is walk-in. Just show up during open hours. Reservations are only required for birthday parties and groups.
Can adults skate too?
Yes. Adults are welcome to skate and participate in activities. A paid admission pass and completed waiver are required.

What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
The deposit is non-refundable. With at least 14 days notice, the deposit can be applied to any available date within 2 months or credited toward public skate sessions. For public skate session parties, less than 14 days notice results in a change fee, and 7 days or less forfeits the full deposit unless the spot can be rebooked. For private parties and groups, less than 14 days notice forfeits the full deposit unless the spot can be rebooked.
How far in advance should I book?
Weekend dates fill quickly, especially during school breaks and winter months. Booking several weeks in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date.
Do parties include a dedicated host?
Yes. Every party package includes a dedicated party host who manages the event from arrival to cleanup — greeting guests, keeping the schedule, serving food, helping with cake, and cleaning up when it’s done.
What’s the difference between the Deluxe Party and the Ultimate Glow-Up Party?
Both include a dedicated host, skate and helmet rentals, beverages for each child, and birthday gifts for the birthday child. The key differences: the Ultimate Glow-Up includes 12 guests (vs. 10 for Deluxe), 2 large pizzas (vs. 1), and glow party favors and a drawstring bag for all guests. The Deluxe Party has those items available as optional add-ons.
