Classes are split by age: children 5 to 8 skate from 9 to 9:45 AM and those 9 to 14 from 10 to 10:45 AM. Each session is capped at 30 skaters and held before public skating, so beginners learn the basics on a quiet sheet of ice without crowds around them. The full five-week program costs $169 and is booked through the rink's ticket site. It is a practical way for young skaters to build confidence before the busy winter-break weeks, when the rink opens daily from 11 AM. ## Similar picks in San Francisco - [Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony and Santa's Arrival at City Center Bishop Ranch (San Ramon)](https://grassyknees.com/san-francisco/activities/holiday-tree-lighting-ceremony-and-santa-s-arrival-at-city-center-bish--listing-6f244a048c2f26dcc3cb837a) — Fri, Nov 20 · 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM · City Center Bishop Ranch, San Ramon · All ages · checked Oct 27.
