Holiday Ice Rink Downtown LA

Holiday Ice Rink is your “we’re wholesome” date that still lets you be a little feral, located at Pershing Square in Downtown LA, basically under the glow of the city and the chaos of people who definitely showed up in outfits, not for warmth.

​

You’re skating outside with palm trees nearby, twinkle lights overhead, and that very specific LA winter vibe where it’s technically cold but everyone is still serving face. It’s cute, it’s slightly unhinged, and it gives you a built in excuse to hold hands without making it a whole TED Talk about feelings.

​

Why choose Holiday Ice Rink?

​

✅ Physical touch, but make it casual: You can grab their hand “for balance,” and suddenly you are basically dating  

​

✅ Rom-com lighting: Night skating with holiday lights in Pershing Square is objectively flirty, even if you pretend it’s not  

​

✅ Chaos chemistry: Someone will wobble, someone will laugh too loud, and now you have a shared core memory  

​

✅ Outfit moment: Coats, beanies, and a little blush from the cold, it’s giving “accidentally cute” in photos  

​

✅ Easy add-ons nearby: DTLA is stacked for a post-skate drink or dessert, so the date can extend if the vibe is vibing
