A very unique and super cool museum of the history of Roller Skating. I was trying to figure out what the previous reviews meant by “don’t forget your quarters,” but after visiting I would say bring a quarter or two!

This museum tell a story of true american history, not only did christopher columbas wear roller skates, but everyne at the time did too. Althought i have never actually been to the museum it seems fun but also it looks like a small little museum
If you ever skated as a kid, you'll enjoy the museum. Who knew the first skates were inline? Apollo Ono and Tara Lipinski started on roller skates. Rhonda Cann, the director, is a wealth of additional information. And it's free with free parking. Well worth the time!
Great little museum. A must visit when in Lincoln
It was fun seeing rollerskating through the ages
Very interesting place lots of history. Can't wait to see it again.
I thank this place for displaying and caring for in perpetuity the inline skate braking system models, patent, etc. I donated.
For those who read my reviews you know that I have a passion to locate and report on odd little museums. Well this sure qualifies it's not large but it is comprehensive about the history of skates and skating. Imagine being able two sea skates from 1814. Well I didn't even know they were skating in 1814 and today that's over 200 years old. wow! now the rest of the museum has various skates, over time, motorized skates, four wheel skates, inline skates, and skates that defy description as people just wanted to have a good time and go skating. I would think you needed skating because not everybody had ice year-round to do ice skating. But what do I know! Anyway, there skate competitions around the country, there were the days of the roller rinks, and all the wonderful things of the past, there were these designs that increase safety and speed there's just a whole lot to see here, if you stop and read, and a great calliope box that you need quarters for. So bring some quarters and come and enjoy the skating Museum. I thought it was wonderful.
