Best of Boston

Imagine the roller rinks of yore—neon lights, thumping pop music, and the vague scent of snack-stand hot dogs wafting through the air. That place still exists in Hudson, and we can’t get enough: Open since 1979 and still going strong, Roller Kingdom is an old-school skating destination for modern kids, with extras like laser tag and an arcade extending the fun. We particularly appreciate the $1 admission fees on Wednesday nights ($3 skate rentals) for the throwback prices, too.
