How this list works
Where to skate this winter. This page collects the ice rinks in our San Diego listings, from outdoor holiday rinks to indoor arenas with public skating, plus the skating events and classes dated between November 1 and February 28: skate with Santa, holiday exhibitions, New Year’s Eve skates and learn-to-skate sessions. 7 are listed now. Each one opens its listing page, which links to the rink’s own page and shows the date we last checked it. Public skating times change week to week, so check the rink’s schedule before you go. Dates are in Pacific Time.
