Map: Six Spots to Get Your Ice-Skate On In and Around LA
View Los Angeles Outdoor Holiday Ice Skating Rinks in a larger map
We might be back to 75 degree temperatures, but that hasn't stopped LA neighborhoods from pushing us into holiday season kicking and...skating. The annual ice rinks are ready and it's time for you to lace up those skates, slide ever-so-tentatively out onto that ice, and try not to fall and crack your head open while celebrating that "winter" is here.
Not sure where to go? Jodante has created a handy-dandy ice skate map for Angelenos to enjoy that includes the open and close dates of each outdoor wonderland. Most rinks stay open through the first of the year when it might be colder in Los Angeles to give you a more authentic wintery vibe, but we're thinking now is just as good a time as any to celebrate winter in a way that only LA can: ice skating while you tan.
