Outdoor and indoor ice rinks in San Francisco and the Bay Area
LostinSF has selected rinks to skate on, in San Francisco and the Bay area. This holiday season, enjoy skating in SF with a view onto the historic Ferry building or under the most famous SF Christmas tree.
Of course, you can ice skate all year long. But Holiday Season adds its own touch with beautiful outdoor ice rinks. And in San Francisco and around, Holiday Season starts as early as beginning of November. Let's go for 2 months of fun.
This year, here will be a great new location... at the Civic Center Plaza! Willy Bietak Productions is in charge of the project whose opening is scheduled for November 30, 2018. No need to say that the ''Winter Park'' with the City Hall as a background, will be fantastic. Pretty sure already that a bunch of wedding pictures will be taken over there!
