Interview with Rachel Tate-Study with Humble Skate Center - Kingwood

At Humble Skate Center, we provide a fun, family-friendly environment where people of all ages can enjoy roller skating, birthday parties, private events, fundraisers, skate lessons, and competitive speed skating. We have proudly served Humble and surrounding  communities since 1977 and remain the original family-owned and operated rink today. For nearly 50 years, we've been helping families create memories on wheels!

Our family is originally from Louisiana. My father's brother-in-law started investing in roller-skating rinks in the early '70s, and soon after, several different family members as well as my Parents  took the chance to start their own business. At one point we had 5 skating rinks in the Houston area and one in our hometown in Louisiana. Roller skating has always brought people together. Our family saw the need for a safe, affordable place where families, friends, schools, churches, and community groups could gather and have fun. Over the years, Humble Skate Center has evolved from a local skating rink into a community hub where people celebrate birthdays, learn new skills, and even pursue competitive skating at the national and international levels.

We're proud of our longevity, 50 years is a LONG time, our family atmosphere, and the impact we've had on generations of local families. Many of our current customers first skated here as children and now bring their own kids and grandkids, it’s so fun to watch them come and say “oh I remember this snack bar, or you still have this or that. I can’t believe how much it makes me feel like I’m a kid again.”

Seeing families have fun together and watching young skaters grow in confidence is incredibly rewarding. Whether it's a child learning to skate for the first time or a speed skater reaching their competitive goals, being part of those milestones never gets old.

We truly serve everyone—from young children attending their first skating party to adults rediscovering skating after many years away. We work especially well with families, schools, day cares, churches, youth organizations, and anyone looking for a fun, active alternative to screen time. We also welcome aspiring athletes who want to join our speed skating program and develop their skills in a supportive environment.

As a family-owned business, we've dedicated our lives to creating a welcoming place where people can have fun, stay active, and build community. Our passion for skating and youth development has helped us remain a local staple for nearly five decades. We believe in treating our customers like family and giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years.

We host public skating sessions throughout the week, birthday parties, school events, fundraisers, and special themed skate nights. For summer we are open 6 days a week and have daily specials. Our new Disney 10 & under session is on Fridays from 1:30–3:30 p.m. The Family Sunday special: $60.00 for four people, which includes pizza and a pitcher of drinks (must mention at the door). Host a spirit night for your school or team and you’ll have the opportunity to earn 50% of the door sales towards their goal. 

Humble Skate Center is a place where you can disconnect from the digital world, so you can connect with your family and friends. Whether you're planning a birthday party, looking for a fun family outing, or interested in competitive skating, we welcome everyone through our doors. And while we are almost 50 years old and you may see things you saw 30 years ago, we keep our rink and skate center well-kept with fresh paint, carpets and newly redone rink floors and more, all while keeping the nostalgic vibe. 

We plan to continue expanding our programs, expand our speed skating team, and create even more opportunities for young athletes to compete at all levels, including elite. We’d love to strengthen our community partnerships, host more special events, and introduce even more families to the lifelong benefits of roller skating. So if you would like to expand your partnerships as well, we’d love to hear from you. 

As we approach our 50th anniversary, we are counting our blessings and realizing how grateful we are for every person who has walked through our doors the last 50 years. Without you, we would not be the community staple that we’ve become! Our goal is to continue serving the community and inspire the next generation of recreational and competitive skaters.
