2012/2013 Ice Rink Information
Update 1/21 : Due to poor ice conditions on the warmest day of the season, we will have to close the rink early today at 4pm. Thanks so much to all of you who made this season a success! We hope you had fun ice skating downtown this winter. See you in November!
The Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink has a long history on The Kay. The rink was first established in 1991 by the City of Sacramento. The Downtown Sacramento Partnership assumed operation and management of the rink soon after with the goal of creating a signature holiday experience for the region. Downtown has been a holiday destination ever since. We can’t wait for you to join us out on the ice this season!
Regular Hours: November 2 – January 21
- Monday-Thursday: 2 pm – 8 pm
- Friday –Saturday: 10 am – 10 pm
- Sunday: 10 am – 8 pm
Skating Sessions:
Sessions start when the rink opens and every 2 hours thereafter. (For example, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm.) Basically, if it is an even hour, a session is starting! Skating sessions are 1 hour and 45 minutes. This may not sound like much, but its a long time on the ice, trust us! When the session ends staff will clear the ice for 15 minutes while the Zamboni makes a sweep before the next session starts.
What happens if I arrive after a session already started?
