As the days become shorter and the temperatures start to get chilly, Northern California becomes a playground of seasonal wintertime attractions that are begging to be visited. In fact, one of NorCal’s most unique attractions will be opening for the season very soon, and it’s definitely something worth getting excited about! After all, it’s one thing to skate across an ice rink hand-in-hand with a loved one, but it’s something else entirely to zip around the rink in ice bumper cars while ramming into friends and family as often as possible. These ice bumper cars promise to be tons of fun, and you definitely don’t want to miss them this year.
As winter makes an arrival in Northern California, so do a plethora of unique seasonal activities. San Mateo on Ice has proven itself as a favorite in the Bay Area for several reasons, and ice bumper cars are one of them.
The San Mateo on Ice Holiday Rink is a quintessential winter activity. Located in downtown San Mateo, the ice rink makes for a great place to glide underneath the stars and enjoy endless entertainment with family and friends.
At first, this outdoor skating rink may look like any other...but don't be fooled. San Mateo on Ice offers one very unique feature: bumper cars on ice. In fact, they are the only skating rink on the West Coast that offers this one-of-a-kind experience.
You don't have to put on a pair of skates to enjoy the act of zooming around an ice skating rink. With these bumper cars, guests can experience the thrill of twirling around at top speeds and bumping into family and friends. If it sounds like an absolute blast, that's because it is!
This year, San Mateo on Ice will open on November 9, 2019 and stay open through January 12, 2020. Comprised of 11,000-square-feet of real ice, this skating rink is the perfect destination for good old-fashioned winter fun!
Keep in mind that bumper car tickets are sold separately from ice skating tickets. Bumper cars cost $10 per ride and are sold on a first come, first served basis. A combination ticket that includes both bumper cars and skating costs $25.
Bump, spin, and laugh to your heart's content this winter when you take a ride on Northern California's only ice bumper cars. It may just become your new favorite wintertime tradition!
