The Curry Village Ice Rinkwas established in 1928 when the Yosemite Winter Club flooded an unused parking lot. Now a permanent fixture, the outdoor rink is located in the western part of Curry Village, nestled below Glacier Point with impressive views of Half Dome. Ice skating is just one of the winter activities in Yosemite as the park also features Badger Pass Ski Area, which is scheduled to open for the season on December 14.

In addition to ice skating, Curry Village Ice Rink features a warm fire pit adjacent to the rink perfect for enjoying s’mores with views of Half Dome, watching the activity on the ice, sipping hot cocoa or just admiring the natural beauty of Yosemite in winter. The rink is a favorite among families and Travel + Leisure ranked it as one of the “World’s Coolest Skating Rinks” in 2012.

Daily skating sessions (subject to weather conditions) are offered from 3:30 to 6 p.m. and 7 to 9:30 p.m. weekdays. On weekends, the rink is open for an additional morning session from 8:30 to 11 a.m., afternoon sessions from noon to 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 6 p.m., and an evening session from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The ice skating fees are $9.75 per adult, per session, and $9 per child. Skate rentals are $4.00 per session. Helmets are available at no additional cost.
