Outdoor Ice Rinks in California: 4 Ranked

Outdoor rinks are the classic winter outing: open sky, cold air and usually a hot drink nearby. Most are seasonal and weather dependent, so warm spells, rain and heavy snow can close them at short notice. Check the rink's own channels on the day you plan to go.
