Oakland Ice Center is at 519 18th Street in downtown Oakland. For a public skating visit, start with the operator's ticketing page: it links current sessions and requires online preregistration. Public sessions, figure-skating practice ice and hockey have separate listings, so choose the session that matches your visit.
Admission and skate rental are separate charges. The dated price details on this page distinguish the adult, youth and senior admission tiers from rental. Confirm your selected session's total and cancellation terms before paying; the operator's public-skate page states no refunds or credits.
The operator lists Dalziel Parking Garage on 16th Street between Clay and San Pablo. Use its location and transportation guide to plan your route, and check parking terms separately from your skating ticket. For lessons, open the Learn to Skate page; figure skaters should use the freestyle page rather than a public-skate booking.
