UAE's first roller rink arrives at Ibn Battuta Mall

Since Thursday 11 June at India Court, 'Roller Extreme ' has been open to all budding skaters willing to test out their skills on the specially designed indoor skating rink.

Extreme Roller Rink is open from 1pm until 10pm Sunday through Wednesday and from 1pm to midnight, Thursday to Saturday at Ibn Battuta Mall.

For a full two hour session, including hire of 3S roller skates made by Smart Ice, it's a great way to keep fit and stay out of the heat this summer. There is even a series of special weekend themed nights planned at Roller Extreme that will include music, games and competitions. Groups of ten people or more benefit from a special offer discount per entry, per person, any day of the week.

The roller rink is just one of the exciting events at Ibn Battuta Mall this summer. Running for nine weeks, the Summer Fiesta brings a series of themed zones and events to the mall including: PlayStation Zone with interactive social gaming sessions which change each and every week; Sports Zone - home to its very own crazy golf course and penalty shoot out area; and Kids Zone with interactive fun for younger visitors, from arts and craft to circus workshops and puppet shows.

At Grand Cinemas, a special Summer Fiesta promotion gives people the chance to see their favourite films from past and present up on the big screen. The kid's classic promotion will run from Sunday - Thursday at 5pm, 14th June - 25th July.

Bernice Boshoff, General Manager, Ibn Battuta Mall, Nakheel, says:

"Summer Fiesta at Ibn Battuta Mall is a perfect way to beat the heat this summer. Not only can our visitors roll on down to the UAE's one and only roller rink, but they can experience thrills and excitement across three themed zones, and take advantage of the amazing deals and special promotions running right across the mall. There really is something for all the family from skaters, to sports fans, to gamers to film buffs."

"And if that wasn't enough, there's even more in the pipeline. We'll soon be launching two more ventures as part of our Summer Fiesta, so watch this space for even more great reasons to visit Ibn Battuta Mall this summer!" added Boshoff.

Ibn Battuta Mall is the world's largest themed shopping mall. Uniquely designed to celebrate the travels of the famous Arabic explorer Ibn Battuta, it features an exciting mix of over 275 retailers, 50 restaurants and food outlets, 21 cinema screens including the UAE's only IMAX theatre and a continual array of events and promotions.
