Gail Terry

It sucked everything was old

Tammi Gibson

We really liked the museum itself, however no one to greet or ask questions or be able to buy from gift shop. We were here from CA and now won't get to come back again.

Juanell Largent

If you go, you will learn a lot about the history of roller skates and skating. I was in the Roller Derby in 1960's and have donated my skates to the museum. I think it is great to have one place dedictated to roller skating of all kinds, Juanell (Willie Wallace) Largent

While the museum is a little small, it contains a wide variety of roller skates and information about the skates, history, sports, and other tid bits. Museum staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Bring a quarter or two for their old style music box.

Learned something New.

James McIntyre

Very neat collection of roller skating memorabilia and equipment. However, the museum is located, quite strangely, in the rear of an office building. We wanted to buy something from the gift shop but there was hardly a soul in the whole building, and we had to grab someone from the cubicles to complete the transaction. Overall, just a kinda weird museum experience.

Ronda gave us a quick tour of the museum, and was so enthusiastic and well informed. Very interesting and great display of many rollerskates throughout history. I'm going home and checking out a rink in my area. I would love to see a competition.

Kathleen Williamson

I grew up Roller Skating. To go to this museum was a throw back to a nostalgic time before video games and electronics. I how they get more funding and stay around for a long time to come.

Marlon Weiss

Kids got history lesson. Low key place, quick to go through.

Amit Gupta

must see

Russ Newberg

If you're interested in skating at all, there's lots to see here!

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!

We visited the Roller Skating Museum...and were so pleased to see all the historical items from days gone by, regarding skating. If you love ROLLER SKATING...you should take a couple hours and visit the museum and THEN, scout out all the other interesting places in Lincoln.

David Atwood

This is so hokey, but it's hilarious. It's free and it's amazing. How can a guy complain when it's free. I think every visitor to Lincoln should enjoy this awesomeness.

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.
