ICE SKATING RINKS IN SAN DIEGO

San Diego may be a sun-soaked paradise, but we’ve got our own frosty spin on winter fun. Swap the board shorts for skates and hit the ice at six rinks around town. Whether you’re gliding beachside with ocean views or cooling off at year-round indoor spots, there’s a rink for everyone—well, unless you’re firmly against things on your feet.

  • The Rady Children's Ice Rink at Liberty Station. The perfect spot to go Christmas shopping and skate in the same place.

  • Skating by the Sea at Hotel Del. Only in San Diego can you ice skate on the beach.

  • UTC Ice Sports Center. Pro tip: Get some food at the courtyard and watch your friends and family skate while you eat.

  • Ice Skating at the Farm. In Julian, you can simulate the seasons with a little colder weather and a rustic farm feel while you skate.
