Skate Date

Los Angeles Downtown Ice Rink

Ice skating in the land of palm trees? That's so LA, and we love it! Holiday cheer flourishes at Pershing Square’s festive Holiday Ice Rink. Framed by towering skyscrapers that twinkle at night, the skating rink could be Rockefeller Center’s long-lost cousin. Don the winter hat (read: baseball cap), lace up the skates, and hit that counter-clockwise flow.

BONUS: Post-skate, get an aerial view of the pirouettes at Perch, a rooftop lounge and French bistro that overlooks the rink. Live music and outdoor fireplaces are on the menu. Sip on a cocktail while drinking in LA’s skyline.

Downtown on Ice at Pershing Square is located at 532 S. Olive St. in Los Angeles, (213) 624-4289. Check the website for details.
