Yerba Buena is my all time favorite ice rink. Located right next to the Sony Metreon, it provides a great atmosphere to hang out with friends at a low cost.
Skating usually runs about $10 (ice skate rental included), and the rink is regularly open to the public at least twice daily. The rink itself is well kept, and the ice is cleaned often so that you won't risk skating in a slipperly lake of melted ice.
The rink also features a few arcade games, but is primarily a place for enthusiasts and beginners to get on the ice and strut their stuff. Always a fun place to visit and skate at.
