Yerba Buena Ice Skating Center Reviews

Great place, good for family fun. Reasonably priced ice skating and well maintained facilities. I would go back again. Also it is open during the Moscone construction.

Went there for bowling couple of times, decent bowling and ice rink . But food options are really limited and pricey.

Great place to iceskate. There is a sectioned off area for little ones/those not wanting to go around.

The prices for ice skating is reasonable and the rink is really nice to skate on

The bowling lanes were decent, they have a pretty good selection of bowling balls, and our group had a great time when we visited. I didn't try any of the food, but others in my group said it was good (for bowling alley food).

There was a staff member by the name of Gordon who saw my toddler and I struggling on the ice. He was so kind, patient and helpful. He made ice skating fun instead of scary for my daughter. We can't wait to go back!

I just love to hang out with my best Pal " Fatty " and enjoy the beauty of the Park !

Located in down town San Francisco. Great place to learn to skate and enjoy public skating. The people there are great. Highly recommend.

Tonight will be my very first experience at the bowling alley. I predict that it's going to be a blast.

Indoor ice skating year round. Always a friendly staff and crowd. Can get lessons, and lots of teams seem to play here. The Metreon is adjacent, so you can get food or catch a movie too. In nice weather there's a big outdoor playground next to it.

We spent a good time,played bowling alley for one hour with family members.It was really fun.

Fun place for a mellow hang out when a game isn't on and pretty much the place in the area to be when a game IS on. The food here is pretty good I've only had small issues here n there but those instances were very far apart and they weren't deal breakers (can't even remember). Staff seems to be getting better and better through the years.

Burgers, ribs, chicken, apps all that good stuff.

Have a blast with family fun in the city! best time with the family

The ice is not properly leveraged. The only consistent hockey pickup is Friday at noon, sorry I have a 9-5 job. There isn't always someone available to sharpen skates because they're understaffed, but the guy who is always there is amazing.

Showers and locker rooms are pretty terrible as well, ice is nice though and hockey leagues are fun if you can ever get on a team

The facility is alright, but the ice doesn t get zamboni before public skating AND while public skating they keep the center for private figure skating practice, so not cool to block off basically half the rink. If I am going back is only because of lack of alternatives

Went bowling with a few friends, staff was courteous, clean establishment. All around we had a great time highly recommend!

Spend a good portion of our lives here going to hockey lessons. Always enjoy the public skate and love to see people skating. It's a great place to take the kids for skating in the hockey program is excellent we love spending time here. The San Francisco Youth Hockey Association is also a great way to get your kid introduced to hockey and we recommend involving some time with them. I took some pictures of the back door and back elevator which are great entry points for the rink.

Not sure about bowling, but ice skating here is awesome. Highly recommended !

Good fun for the kids. Gets a bit crowded but where else can you go?

Good place to skate, although if you're just coming for a few hours, it isn't cheap. Rental skates are nice though and rink is, full size, I think.

I love it. I take classes her and it's amazing how attentive the coaches are with there students. Everyone here is so kind and it's a beautiful place to go with friends, family and your significant other.

Small bowling area and quite expensive but can't complain about bowling!

Fun place to go for a very low price. Rentals and Lockers are cheap too.

The bowling alley is nice. Clean and the machines and score computers seem to work without issues. The alley is on the smaller side and seems more suitable for after work outings with coworkers

Well-maintained ice rink with a view of downtown San Francisco.

Great lesson, beautiful facility, friendly experienced staff, lovely playground adjacent to skating and bowling next door. Best skating in the city.

Cool place to skate. But the kids taking lessons are very rude. Guess they have some rich parents so they think they own the place.

Did the blowing only..nice place for blowing and ice skating..have a nice park , corosal for kids fun..

Always a joy to be here. My only wish is that it's open to the public more often. It's fairly safe to learn here and also entertaining to watch the professionals do their thing. It was fun watching a live hockey game from the exterior just before it was open to the public.

While a fairly small rink the Ice is normally well maintained and all the natural light is nice

Staff are very unhelpful, broke my collervone and was laying on the ice almost passed out for three minutes before they decided to come out!

Amazing place to play at, ice skate, and bowl. Fairly clean.

We visited on a Sat night. Prices were high, it was cosmic bowling. The area where you stand and release the ball should have been a little slippery so you can slide. It was super dry and almost made my friend fall. We bowl in a league and, I felt that over all, it could have been maintained better. Specially if they're charging that much. The place is really small, they do have a small bar. We still had a great time.

I've only ever been here for the sfcd holiday skate for the kids. thank you for hosting!

We had a good time. But the customer service was not all that good

Convenient location but the ice isn't great for hockey

Our favorite ice skating rink nearby. Friendly, protective, and professional staffs! Thank you.

I love coming to skate here. Street Parking is a little iffy but there's a lot of parking garages in the area. There's 3, 2-hour time slots, but I've been told it's better to go in the first time slot because the ice hasn't been skated on yet (they don't Zamboni the ice again as far as I know) there's a large bathroom, lockers that you can rent, and you can also rent figure skating or hockey skates. I personally prefer hockey skates because they don't have the notches in the front of the skates like the figure skating ones do which catch onto the ice. I wish there was more space/benches to change into your skates and that the people that work here were a little bit more polite/friendly and that the bathrooms were checked /cleaned more often but overall it's a pleasant experience.

There's a lot going on here in this park. There's a carousel at the corner, then the art center, a park with a playground, ice skate rink, bowling alley and restaurant. This is a great place to bring young children. Keep your eye out for special events that sometimes offered here.

It is really a great ice skating rink! They even have a special section that they will mark off for children to use who are learning how to skate. They even provide stacks of buckets for children to push to help them learn how to skate. The music is nice and not too loud. There are snack machines and drink machines. The Faculty that work there are very nice. We had all around great experience over there and we'll go back if we're ever in the area. I definitely recommend this place for couples or families or anyone who wants to ice skate. They even had a late night session from 9 to 11 p.m.

Fun, cheap (before 5pm), and easy to get a lane as a walk up group of 8. The kitchen and bar seem to be closed on Mondays, unfortunately.

Very neat and efficient staff.
Really good
Second visit and I have to change it cause the row was defected. Balls got stuck more than once and the pins fell by they self few times. It s fun but if you are playing with a competitive buddy well not god

Public skating is just 16 dollars including rentals, though it gets quite busy since it's the only hockey rink in the city. Great fun for large groups.

Old school bowling alley as well as indoor ice skating rink. Kids carousel and other outdoor features including adjacent skate park, etc. A nice respite in SOMA.

Friendly staff, natural sunlight through the glass. Looking forward to playing some hockey there soon!

Great lil bowling area. Not cheap for an hour but okay if split. Fun lights and hip-hop music.

Nice place to visit with friends or family. Was there for a privately booked staff end of year bowling. We all loved it nice staff and good food.

I love going to yerba buena so i could go ice skating it's really fun

Fairly priced. Nicer skates than they use to have. I just wish they had better food and drink options. Although there is a food bar its never open when I go there and I have to use the vending machines.

It s good ice skating there, and also bowling. Different public session both week and weekends. Adult beginners classes are fun and learnable. The instructors are very attentive.

I have been Ice Skating for about 30 plus years and It's your typical Ice Rink. I enjoy watching the public skating, falling, and getting up again. Like life you have keep getting up to succeed in life.

Love watching the skaters on the ice the beginners are always very entertaining

Bowling here is a lot of fun. I don't come here often, but whenever I do, I always have a good time. There are a small number of lanes, so it's more intimate, not as loud as a larger alley.

I've also skated & played hockey at the skating rink. It can truly be said that it's the best place to play ice hockey in San Francisco!

Nice facility, but very pricey on weekends, for such short lane times.

The best rink in the city. Love the ice skating classes too.

I like going ice skating during the winter. I especially like going when they play xmas music. It's a good size rink and the price per hour is reasonable. The location is great and close to lots of eateries and tons of shopping.
