Historic Sacramento Iceland Ice Skating & Family Sessions

About this adventure

Sacramento Iceland has been a treasured North Sacramento community institution on Del Paso Boulevard since opening in 1940. Founded by ice skating innovator Kerth family, this open-air refrigerated arena with an overhead canopy allows families to skate in fresh air while protected from rainy winter days. Iceland holds a deep place in regional history, and today the non-profit facility operates dedicated family public skating hours, learn-to-skate clinics, and low-cost community skate nights. Toddler walker bars provide sturdy balance support for beginners, while vintage music and friendly volunteer rink guards foster a wholesome, nostalgic neighborhood environment. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Flat street-level entry directly off Del Paso Boulevard with wide concrete viewing pathways along the rink boards. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated enclosed lobby lounge with viewing windows, wood bench seating, and restrooms equipped with diaper changing facilities. • Age Suitability: Ideal for all ages, from toddlers learning first glides to teens and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Open-air canopy means ambient outdoor air temperature; families should dress in warm sweaters, jackets, thick socks, and warm gloves.
