Yerba Buena Ice Skating & Bowling Center

When I was growing up, I had a bug to be an ice skater...figure skaters, ice hockey, and speed skating...winter sports..skiing...I know people go ice skating..it's human nature...practice and feel the dream..the dream of ice skating...is a myth...Some places have specialties...I wasn't sure about this ice skating rink...it's pretty good...It's near the museums...I probably could have visited years ago...picky and decided to go today.."cheapskate" $15 and $2 for a token to use a locker for your backpack...I was an aggressive inline skater in Maryland...ice hockey skating...going around the rink..it can be easy..depends on your lifestyle..like horseback riding...be safe and be nice to others...it's hard to be in the crowd...more people...this is a standard place with ice hockey and figure skating...depends on your choices and natural inclinations..The ice skating bug is American...Canada...Asia..hahaha

The sight line to view kids hockey from the stands is not great. They have to do something about that white and very thick netting--lots of stanchions that block the view. You're better off standing against the glass on the other side for a better view, although you are fighting the sun's glare. Oh yeah. Be ready to pay for parking at a nearby garage.

We went here on a Saturday around 6:20pm and there was no wait! This bowling area was very empty and there was only one other group inside at the time. At first, we were thinking about doing the ice skating side, but ended up choosing the bowling side since it was available at the time we went.Ok, so I've been here to their ice skating since before and I know the ice skating side is fun, but this time we decided to do something at their bowling side.From our recent experience, the bowling side felt like the bowling side was rigged or something, and the lanes didn't work properly. We told worker about the problem we were having with the lane and how our ball never came back. Then he told us to just keep rolling more bowling balls on the lane. The bowling balls never came back out even though we did what the worker told us to do. Later, the SAME worker came back and told us to let him know next time we have an issue with the lane even though we did tell him (how frustrating)!I would NOT recommend the side with the bowling alley, but I would recommend the ice skating side. There was only one worker on the day I went for bowling recently and not all of the lanes function properly here because of some mechanical issue.

Came here during the afternoon. Easy process to head on in. They had freshly resurfaced the ice. Amazing to skate on! There are also vending machines in case you need a quick snack break.

Customer service is horrible. Staffs are not even friendly. My daughter never been ice skating. We went there for a classmates birthday party. The rug they have to measure the kids feet is not accurate. We got one size for my daughter and it was too big. Went to return for a smaller size. Older Asian lady was not pleased and gave a bit of an attitude. Note I apologized but it was not good enough. When my daughter got on the ice, we saw buckets that they offered to kids to use as a support. We asked one of the staff for some buckets so the kids can use it as a support. The rule is the child must be 48" or smaller. While my daughter was using the buckets to move around. One of the employee (white blond female) told my daughter she can use it. Since she seems taller than 48" tall. Well, she is wearing the skate that bumped her height up a bit like wearing heals. Highly not recommend this place unless you enjoy rude attitude from the staffs.

This review is for the bowling alley specifically. Came here a few weeks ago and had a pretty good time! We were able to book a lane online and the rates are slightly cheaper than some other options in the city (Mission bowling). Inside the vibe is pretty old school, no frills, although there are a good amount of lanes inside. There are limited food and drink options but they do have some vending machines. I would be back and recommend if you are looking for a bowling option in the city!

Always amazed at the fun times we have here as a family when we come in. The Ice Skating center here is always fun. Reasonably priced, the staff are helpful with tips on ice skating as well. My kids love coming here, never any problems or long waits.

This is a review for the bowling.My 9 year old had his birthday party there yesterday.Bonnie was so helpful and patient during the booking process. She suggested we booked lane 1, which is the only one with a table for the cake. Bumpers were installed without having to ask.Also, they have vending machines if, like me, you run out of water.The boys had a blast, and we went on a short walk after to the Yerba Buena playground. It was just perfect.Thank you so much to all the staff!

We have gone here for ice-skating for many years and it is always a lot of fun. The Yerba Buena Center is amazing.It is maintained very well and it is a happy place to be

Your staff are amazing. We had the best time ever! The ladies were flexible and helpful. My attendant was so professional. She made my life so easy. I have never hosted a party so stress free. Everyone enjoyed themselves and wants to come again.Thank you for booking me late minutes and making this so wonderful! coolest place in SF
