It seems that the days of never-ending heat will finally come to an end, opening the way for winter activities.
Downtown’s Holiday Ice Rink in Pershing Square is now open to the public from November 12 through January 3. The rink, located at Pershing Square, 532 S. Olive St., will be available from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 12 p.m. through 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
This annual tradition has delighted Angelenos with a fun way to spend a winter day for over 25 years. The cold 7,200-square-foot rink welcomes around 45,000 skaters and 221,000 spectators every season.
The location offers general admission with provided gear for 60-minute skating sessions, but it also hosts a variety of events. Classical Sundays at the rink provide attendees with classical music for the 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. sessions. Additional events include guest DJ performances and Latinx music nights.
November 19 will feature an opening celebration for the ice rink from 5 to 7 p.m. The event will include live skating and musical performances, along with other activities, before ending the night with Downtown’s Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
The rink is also conveniently located near the Pershing Square B line metro station, making it accessible for both drivers and public transportation users.
General admission is currently $23.32, and it includes skate rental. Attendees can also request locker services and a skate helper for additional costs.
You can get your tickets on the official Holiday Ice Rink website.
