Outdoor and Holiday Ice Near San Francisco

One listing that says both indoor and outdoor skating, plus holiday rinks whose names do not say outdoor. No 2026 opening dates or ticket prices are in the data. Confirm both with the rink.

San Francisco's outdoor evidence is thinner than the holiday names suggest. Winter Lodge in Palo Alto, CA is the listing that says outdoor skating, and the same sentence says the center is indoor and outdoor.

It is not an outdoor-only rink. Holiday Ice Rink In Union Square is named as holiday ice in Union Square. The listing does not say outdoor and does not give a 2026 opening date.

Kristi Yamaguchi Holiday Ice Rink in San Ramon, CA is named as a holiday ice rink, with no description of the ice. 3Crosses Christmas Village in Castro Valley, CA is named as a Christmas village, which is holiday wording, not a sentence that says outdoor. Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center is left off this page: its listing mentions an outdoor playground at a bowling and hockey center, not outdoor ice.

2 of these 4 listings do not publish weekly hours. Where hours are listed, confirm that they are public skate and not just the building. Nothing here includes a 2026 opening date or a ticket price. Both change by rink and by season, and they are not in the listing data.

Use the rink page for the address and any hours on file, then confirm the date and the price with the rink. The Christmas page is where the wider seasonal tag lives. See the national outdoor guide for cities with a clearer outdoor set.
