Experience Winter Magic at Santa Monica ICE with the Kelley | Westbrook Group
The holiday season is nearly here, and one of our favorite ways to embrace winter in Santa Monica is by visiting ICE, the city’s iconic outdoor ice-skating rink. Located just blocks from the beach, Santa Monica ICE brings the joy of skating to the heart of sunny Southern California, turning the corner of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue into a winter wonderland from early November to mid-January.
Skating at ICE is a unique experience in Santa Monica, where temperatures often stay warm enough to stroll the beach afterward! The 8,000-square-foot rink offers ample space for skaters of all ages and skill levels. Families, friends, and couples alike can enjoy the thrill of gliding under the open sky, surrounded by festive lights, music, and seasonal decorations. For those just learning to skate, ICE provides skate aids and even offers private lessons to help beginners find their confidence on the ice.
Santa Monica ICE also features an array of special events, including themed skating nights and seasonal parties, perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. The cozy rinkside cabanas add a touch of luxury, providing a private area for groups to relax and enjoy hot cocoa or festive snacks after skating.
The Kelley | Westbrook Group loves recommending Santa Monica ICE to clients, as it showcases the city’s vibrant and welcoming community spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or lacing up for the first time, ICE offers a delightful holiday experience that has become a beloved local tradition. Join us this season to make some cherished winter memories in Santa Monica!
