Winter Wonderland in Dublin
Holiday fun has arrived here in Dublin! California Ice Adventures opened a temporary 7,200 sq. ft. ice skating rink on November 19th at the current Dublin Toyota site (4800 Dublin Boulevard). The ice rink will remain open to the public until January 10th.
Ice skating can be a terrific event for the family, a great date activity, incredible exercise, and just plain holiday fun. Situated next to I-580 and Hacienda Crossings, the California Ice Adventures ice rink is sure to draw folks from all over the Tri-Valley that are looking to have a memorable holiday season.
Aside from the fun experience, the California Ice Adventures rink is also a boon to local non-profits looking to raise much-needed funds during a tough fundraising season. Some of the local organizations partnering for events include chapters of the American Red Cross, Special Olympics, and National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Additionally, the California Ice Adventures ice rink provides seasonal job opportunities that are perfect for residents looking to earn a bit more during the holiday season.
Ticket prices are $15 for adults ($12 without skate rental) and $10 for kids ($7 without skate rental).

This sounds fun, but is kind of pricey, no? I mean you can skate at Squaw Valley or Yosemite for less than $15 in a much more beautiful setting.

Hey why not try out Dublin’s local full service skate rink? This is a year round business that. Gives back to the community on a regular basis not some advertising gimmick. Iceland cost considerable less too! Check out the west end of town

My first thought was that it seemed expensive too. Then my husband reminded me that it isn’t easy to keep an ice rink going outdoors in this part of California. I’m sure Yosemite is a beautiful backdrop for ice skating, but it also has tons of snow which makes it easier to have an outdoor rink. Also, not everyone can afford the time or money it takes to get to such a beautiful place. And although Dublin Iceland is a great place for kids to learn to skate and do other various skating sports and may be a little cheaper, the temporary outdoor ice rink is something a little different a family can do together. I really appreciate how hard Dublin is trying to become “the place to be”. Keep up the good work!

All things considered, during this tough financial time for most, it is too expensive. Too bad cause I wanted to take my family there.
