Tickets cost $10, or $6 for children ages 8 and younger, and skate rentals are $5.
The Holiday Ice Rink at Embarcadero Center also opened this morning, and will operate from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Admission is $9 for adults and $5.50 for seniors and children ages 10 and younger. Between 6 p.m. on Fridays and closing time on Sundays, admission increases to $9.50 for adults and $6 for seniors and children.
The Embarcadero Center is offering four hours of free parking for skaters on the weekends and after 5 p.m. on weekdays. During weekdays, it costs $8 to park for three hours. Skaters can park at One, Two, Three or Four Embarcadero.
