Things to do in San Francisco - New Holiday Ice Skating Rink at Civic Center #UrbanTrekUSATips

This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA San Francisco SMALL GROUP walking tours for an IMMERSIVE San Francisco city tour EXPERIENCE. Why just simply visit when you can experience it - San Francisco.

As a follow up to my previous post back in Nov. 12, 2018 (click here) on two existing holiday ice skating rinks in San Francisco for things to do in San Francisco during the holidays, a new holiday ice skating rink opened in the Civic Center (City Hall) on Nov. 30, 2018.

In my estimation, the size of this ice rink is in between the one at the Embarcadero Center and Union Square. The Embarcadero Center rink being the largest then this on at the Civic Center and the smallest one is at Union Square. What is nice about the Civic Center ice skating rink is there is a narrow section that goes thorough the Sycamore trees and makes for a romantic area to skating if you are there with someone you want to be romantic with.

Note: Friday would be a good time to go during the lunch time if you want to sample of the food truck food when Off The Grid is there from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. If the Senor Sisig truck is there, check it out!

Warning: The Civic Center are is not an ideal place to be at night so be more cautious after dark. Maybe the city will assign more policemen to patrol that area by foot during the time when the ice skating rink is open.

FYI: The tree lighting for the Christmas tree will be on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018, at 5:00 - 7:00 pm. For more information about this event, click here.

The photos and videos were taken on opening day.

 

 

 

If you come when City Hall is open during the weekdays, go inside our City Hall. I will post more photos of our beautiful City Hall in a future post.

Things To Do in San Francisco - Holiday Ice Skating Rinks in San Francisco #UrbanTrekUSATips

Currently, there are two outdoor ice skating rinks in San Francisco for the holidays. One in Union Square and one in the Embarcadero Center Plaza. On Nov. 30th, another outdoor ice skating rink will open in the Civic Center Plaza. These ice skating rinks will be good things to do in San Francisco during the holidays.

Personally, of the Union Square and the Embarcadero Center Plaza, I prefer the Embarcadero Center Plaza because it is bigger and, especially at night, the scenery is better because of the lights that will be lit for the Embarcadero buildings, the Bay Lights of the Bay Bridge and the Ferry Building in the background. Check out the video below.

What I like about the Union Square ice skating rink is the Christmas tree that provides a more holiday atmosphere.
