I have done winter skating in several cities. This has to be one of the worst. You get a fixed one hour time slot. The skates are poor (half sizes not available, and they use hockey skates and some other skates with laces, so often the skates are the wrong size and you have to keep getting them changed (too big, too small, too wide). The skate helpers for kids are rented for $15!!!! WHAT?!?!?!
Absolutely horrendous organizing for getting people in the door to skate. Complete clown show. Wasted 20-30 min of skate time just getting into the rink. This is posted every year. I expected better. They need to have a prepaid vs purchase line. Absolute joke.
This is a very cute ice rink in downtown San Jose right by Christmas in the Park. I have two beefs with this place this year though. One is that they have reduced the session from an hour and a half to a mere 60 minutes while raising the price to $22 a person, plus online purchase fees 🙄 My other one is that for $22 for an hour session I think there should be beautiful strings of lights covering each one of these palm trees and for the love of Pete use the Zamboni in between sessions!
If you want to kick off 2025 with a great mood, endless fun, and positive vibes, this is the place to be! Perfectly located, with an amazing atmosphere and exceptionally polite staff, it promises an unforgettable experience.
The ice rink in downtown San Jose was an amazing experience for our family. From the moment we stepped onto the ice, we felt welcomed and excited. Skating was a blast, and even though I'm not the best skater, there was plenty of room for everyone to move around comfortably. The city skyline in the background made the whole experience feel magical. It was bustling but still cozy, and we had a great time hanging out with other skaters of all levels. Overall, it was a fantastic outing, and we'd love to go back for more fun on the ice in the heart of the city.
