People ice skate at the outdoor rink 'ICE at Santa Monica' during opening day on Friday, November 11, 2011.

Once a year, Downtown Santa Monica brings a little skate to the surf and transforms the corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue into ICE at Santa Monica, a premier outdoor ice skating rink. Celebrating its 5th Anniversary, the 8,000 square ft. rink by the beach offers residents and visitors a little taste of winter without the bite. A great location for holiday play, ICE at Santa Monica is the perfect place to hang out with friends, family, and loved ones, throw a party in a private event cabana, enjoy a first date, or sign up for skate lessons. Join the fun and visit Downtown Santa Monica this season to experience ICE.

The ice skating rink will be open through January 16, 2012. Admission is $12 (includes skate rental). Hours: Mon-Thurs: 2pm – 10pm, Friday: 2pm – Midnight, Saturday: 10am – Midnight, Sunday: 10am – 10pm.
