Cruising around an aesthetic skating rink, enjoying delicious cafe desserts and drinks, and having a go at different arcade games and claw machines; these are all great activities for a date or hangout with friends. You can now do it all in one place, because CQ @ Clarke Quay will be home to Rollermania 2024 from now till 31st July.
As part of The Xperience, a massive 10,000sqft space has been decked out with all manner of activities under one roof, in air-conditioned comfort. Time to hop on the group chats and start making plans, here’s what you can get up to:

You’ll have a blast skating, but it’ll be hard not to snap up a storm as well with such gorgeous surroundings. The 4,000sqft rink features IG-worthy set-ups everywhere you look, from the lush nature-themed ceilings with a myriad of sparkly disco balls to the colourful neon lights that scream retro vibes.

Admission, inclusive of skates rental, is priced from $28/pax on Mondays to Thursdays (off-peak), and $32/pax on Fridays to Sundays (peak).
You’ll get more bang for your buck by coming with a rink buddy, as Double Trouble tickets are priced $54 and $60 for 2 off-peak and peak tickets respectively. If you’re heading down with 3 friends, the Quad Squad package admits 4 people at $102 and $112 for off-peak and peak respectively, bringing each ticket down to as low as $25.50/pax.

Don’t let your lack of skating expertise keep you away. Rollermania 2024 offers skating lessons for various skill levels, from a 15-minute Rapid Skater Course ($15) to get you comfortable on wheels to a Pro Skater Course ($360) that spans 8 classes. Go for the latter if you want to whizz around the rink with masterful finesse, and whip out some advanced tricks and manoeuvres to impress the gang.

Nothing spells nostalgia quite like the old-school snack that is White Rabbit candy. At Singapore’s first ever White Rabbit pop-up cafe, you’ll be able to savour a series of desserts and drinks that are all infused with the beloved creamy sweet.
These include the Lychee White Rabbit Boba Milk Tea ($7), Iced White Rabbit Cafe Latte ($9), and White Rabbit Soju Slushie ($22).

Fuel up with the selection of cute rabbit-shaped cakes priced $10-$14. If you need some savoury bites to quell a sugar overload, there will also be street food-style dishes served at the event. Think Korean Mozzarella Potato Corndog ($9) and Loaded Waffles With Cheese And Chickenwurst ($17).

Of course, the White Rabbit cafe wouldn’t be complete without the OG candy itself. There’ll be a total of 10 flavours available for purchase at the pop-up, priced at $5 per 100g. Besides the foolproof original, there are also funky flavours you may not have tried before, such as banana, matcha, peanut nougat, and even wasabi.
