Young's Skating Center - Mays Landing, NJ
Located in May's Landing, NJ. My parents used to skate at Young's when they were dating back in the late 50s.

We used to go as a family when I was in my early teens. We went on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Lots of fond memories of skating there.
It was not always good, but for the most part it was a good place to go. From what I read on the internet, it is still about the same in both good and bad ways. The formula must work, though, because they are still going strong under new ownership.

If I get up that way this spring, I need to skate there once again for old times sake.

I will be skating at Young's on Saturday, Jun 5th during the 1:30 - 4:00 session.
If anyone is in the vicinity that can join us, it would be great to meet some others from the forums. What do you say, Holiday Guy?

That must be so exciting to go back to a favorite childhood place. I hope it is a fun experience, and not a huge disappointment. Not to sound negative, but if you have a picture in your mind of how it used to be, you might be dissappointed if it has changed alot.

You should take some pictures and post them. Photo

Laughing It would do you some good, Rick. It would enlighten you to other ways and cultures. Not to mention some excellent food.

Sorry, but it is too late to add you in. We had an extra seat, but that has been filled.

We stopped in Maryland for the night. It's been a long day of driving. A few delays, but nothing major. Good vacation so far.
