Get ready to trade your pumpkin spice for peppermint and slip on some skates, Bay Area babes! The iconic Union Square Holiday Ice Rink is back and serving up serious winter realness.

If you thought Halloween was the end of festive fun, think again. The city’s most Instagram-worthy winter playground just opened its frosty gates, welcoming skaters of all skill levels to glide and slide through the holiday season.

Skate Into the Season

Whether you’re a pro figure skater or someone who spends more time clinging to the railing, this rink has got you covered. At $22 for adults and $17 for kids, you can channel your inner Olympic dreams without breaking the bank. Pro tip: your skate rental is included, so no need to drag your dusty blades from storage.

Drag Queens and Silent Discos on Ice

Because San Francisco never does anything halfway, the rink is throwing some seriously epic events. Mark your calendars for Drag Queens on Ice on December 4th and the Silent Disco Skate on December 11th. Where else can you pirouette to beats only you can hear?

Mark Your Calendars

The rink is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm through January 19, 2026. And for the true holiday enthusiasts, don’t miss the Polar Bear Skate on New Year’s Day - where else can you rock a swimsuit while skating? This is peak San Francisco energy, folks.
