Alpine is one of the most charming towns in Southern California.

Without a doubt, it is one of the best places to go ice skating in the Southern California area.

Getting here is easy, as it is only about a 30-minute drive from San Diego’s Old Town District.

Ice skating has long been a fun activity to enjoy during the holiday season...

...particularly if you’re looking for family activities that offer a little something for everyone.

The admission price for 90 minutes of ice skating is $17 for adults and teens and $15 for children 12 and under. The rink hours are daily from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and the season here generally runs until the end of the first week of January.

Decked out with stunning holiday lights, a towering Christmas tree, and plenty of holiday cheer to keep everyone smiling, this is the place to be when you need a dose of fun in your life this winter season.

Even if you're not an ice skating pro, it's so much fun to be out on the ice during the holidays. Outdoor ice skating in Southern California doesn’t get any better than this!

You'll feel like you've stepped inside a magical holiday snow globe!

So go ahead and lace up those skates and take a few spins around the rink.

No matter your age, ice skating just may make you feel like a kid again!

Skating isn't the only thing to do at one of the best ice rinks in Southern California.

Before or after you hit the ice, you may enjoy grabbing a festive holiday beverage (not all festive beverages are served at a bar!) like a hot cocoa loaded with whipped cream. Yum!

Perhaps the best part about coming here is that you can skate the night away in the fresh outdoor air.

Warning: ice skating at this festive rink is addictive. You may even find that you never want to leave. If you’re here without the little ones, a little gambling, dancing, or enjoying a romantic getaway may be in the cards.
