About this adventure
Located in downtown Oakland just blocks from the 19th St Oakland BART station, this premier dual-sheet ice facility features one NHL regulation rink and one Olympic-sized ice rink operated by Sharks Ice. Family public skating sessions run multiple times a week on smooth, professionally resurfaced indoor ice with festive soundtrack music. Young beginners can rent 'Bobby the Seal' skate aids ($6–$7 per half-hour), giving toddlers a sturdy handle to hold or a smooth seat for parents to gently glide them across the ice. The venue is completely enclosed, climate-controlled, and stroller accessible with heated viewing bleachers and an on-site snack bar serving hot chocolate, pizza, and pretzels. Pre-registration online via Sharks Ice is encouraged to guarantee admission.
