It was nice to have the little ice rink in Alameda for the last 10 years for the ice skaters and myself to have such a wonderful winter holiday season ice skating. The last time the Little Ice Rink was here in Alameda at the former Alameda Naval Air Station was at 1951 Monarch Street in Alameda in 2021. I have not seen or receive any email message announcement from the Little Ice Rink to let the Alameda Community know if there will be any Little Ice Rink for the winter holiday seasons for the past 3 years and for the future winter season. Please let the Alameda Community know if there will be any ice rink in Alameda for the future winter holiday season? Thanks.

Located on the old Alameda navel base. Easy booking online, other times were sold out but looked like they will take a few walk ins. Inside a Hangar/ warehouse so somewhat indoor skating rink area. Dark and scary driving through the base at night as my girls were saying they were scared and we were lost! Lol luckily I've been to area for car show during the day so was somewhat familiar. I Followed my GPS and took me directly there. Small ice rink, a bit cramped when skating. The ice was ok, some rough patches along the rink. My girls were asking why it felt a bit uneven while skating which they said they did not like due to falling more easily. I did not see them use the zimboni thing in between sessions but I might of missed it. Also we were last skate session for the night. Small seating area for snacks & hot coffee with various lunch trucks. Bathrooms located inside past the pinball area or port a potty's outside by parking lot.-Make sure you fill out waiver for each person as I had to step out and fill out again for kids. -$8 for the rental of skating aids. Would visit again if we were close by.

Cool family-friendly ice rink in Alameda for the winter. Reservations are needed ahead of time, and this place can sometimes get packed. They really weren't playing about this being a little ice rink, because it's not that big at all. Skate rentals and little animals are available for those who need some additional assistance on the ice (recommend getting the seal if you have multiple kids, because one child can stand and push, and another can sit for the ride. Helmets are also available for kids and adults who may need them (they also Lysol and disinfect them well, for those of you like me concerned with lice). As I mentioned above, the rink is small, so you may get dizzy going around a couple times fast. It also can get crowded, which sucks for little ones who are just learning because everyone is running into each other. Definitely recommend going on a weekday or possibly mid-afternoon to avoid crowds.For those who don't care to skate, there's some pinball machines to check out, and always people watching to do. There's one food truck out front and plenty of seating, for those who worked up an appetite from all that skating. Overall great fun for the kids and the entire family. I do think it's expensive for what you get, especially if going in a group (we paid $65 for 1 adult and 2 kids, plus another $8 per rental of animal skate assists). Tip - fill out the waiver before arriving to save time (and waivers are required for everyone, regardless of whether you are skating).

This was pretty fun it can get pretty crowded though so just in case you don't want a big crowd. We did go at the end of the night so it wasn't too bad later. The view outside is really nice. ON some days they have food trucks outside too so if you don't want to ice skate you can just eat.

My husband and I had fun when we went here but unfortunately it was way way too crowded. Both on and off the ice. No social distancing whatsoever, and we would have had a lot more fun on the ice if it wasn't so crowded. If they limited walk ins and only allowed the people who bought tickets ahead of time probably would have been less busy, if not, they should limit the amount of tickets they sell for each time slot.

This was so so so much fun! I understand everyone saying it is small, but come on, it's a temporary ice rink that gets moved to a new location all the time! Think the ice rink in Union Square during the holidays. This is equivalent. That said, it's awesome. And what a LOVELY atmosphere! We went in with low expectations and the night we went just happened to have a DJ and aerial artists! One little girl was passing out glow sticks to all the other children. There was a light up Queen on stilts! Large art installations I would have expected at Golden Gate Park or Burning Man. It was a cornucopia for the eyes and my 6 year old was entranced! Speaking of having a little one, they also had plastic seals/reindeer to help the children balance. $8. Nice to have that option at a fairly doable price. There were a couple of food options there (we went late 7-9pm) so it was good to have something in our bellies. The skates were on the newer end and easy to put on. There was a lovely view of the San Francisco skyline. When you weren't hanging out watching the aerial artists, you could sit and stare at the city. Overall, I'd do this again when it comes back again next year. I took off one star cuz it was $20 and that can be pricey if you want to do it a lot or if you have a big family, but for a holiday special trip, it's worth it. ($20 includes skate rentals.)

Great little rink! We did advanced tickets, but also needed a walk in. The staff was very kind and helpful. It was my daughter's first time skating. The skating aids were a great way for her to start and even though it was crowded, she took to actual skating quickly seeing everyone else do it. While it was crowded, it was a Sunday afternoon, everyone there was nice and respectful of personal space. My daughter asks to go back every day!

Had an amazing time with my son ice skating. The line was a little confusing and the rink was a little crowded but we made the best of it. We loved the location, and the amenities, we just wished the rink was a "little" larger.

Be aware that even though the website says "Walk-ins welcome!," even if you arrive early, you may not get in. The staff are doing their best, but be ready with a plan B for your disappointed kids. In the end we did get in, because another family had overbought their tickets. Once in, skating was fun, and the bar was a welcome sight for us stressed parents. We'll probably go again because the kids loved it, but not without advance tickets in hand.
