This program, sponsored by the Wilmington Parks and Recreation Department, affords children from birth through 5 years the opportunity to exercise two days a week, with parental accompaniment. Two sessions, divided by age, take place each Monday and Wednesday morning. The classes are arranged by age groups, so call for the daily schedule. Also available is a snack lounge and the Stuff Shop, which sells toys. The rink hosts its own roller-hockey league for kids age 12 and younger.
Pickup games are available during the summer.
Jelly Beans also hosts skating birthday parties and a summer day camp. Other activities include karate, field trips and table tennis. Scooter's is the current name for this classic rink, founded in 1959 and now totally remodeled. Skating at Scooter's is affordable, and there's a pro shop and a full snack bar. Scooter's also offers private skating parties and group sessions, fund-raiser sessions and plenty of video games.
