Ice Skating Downtown at Oakland Ice Center

Oakland Ice Center is a world-class ice rink, actually two ice rinks, located right between downtown and uptown close to the Fox Theater.

Anytime of year you can come here to relax, gliding around on the ice during their public skating hours.

Seems like a great place to host a birthday party or other fun event. I noticed a reserved room with party-goers, gifts, pizza, and buffalo wings :-b

The San Jose Sharks practice here too sometimes.
