Another rink boasting open public skating as well as lessons and group activities, San Diego Ice Arena is not a place to miss out for practicing your skills, learning skating skills or even having a party (they have a mascot called Ice Qub and a DJ.)
POWAY ICE
This rink is one of the homes of the San Diego Gulls and they often practice there….and occasionally they open their practices to public viewing and the team often host a program to teach you to skate. How cool would it be to learn to skate from a Gulls hockey player? Their rinks are open for public skating most afternoons.
