The Rinks – Yorba Linda Ice

Awesome place, really fun as dates or in a group.
Super cold so just make sure you bring coats or thick clothes in general. The ice is nice and the place is clean and family friendly. Its also conveniently close to my house which is perfect.

I haven’t been in a long time. Kids were super excited. Tip if you say it’s public skate then don’t block off the ice for hockey practice. It’s hard enough to maneuver near the skaters having private lessons. New skaters need to hold onto the m railing all the way around.

Solid ice rink. We came here for the red cross leadership fundraiser, which I heard was able to switch to this rink last minute. The place was clean, and everything was pretty great for free skating. They had a mini arcade on the side, which I am not sure a lot of people utilized.
They had little seals/​sea lions that people can rent. Those were legit! Much more fun playing with those than skating around in circles the whole time (which we did for about 2 hours anyways lol).

My kids came to a party here. Original party site was overbooked, so they got placed in small room. Totally overcrowded! I saw one staff member on rink, poor kid fell and was on the floor for about 3 – 5 minutes before anyone came over. Girls that were assisting with party were very helpful, that was the only positive. Also kids were supposed to get hot chocolate and then were told no longer included. Poor customer service from this franchise, again girls at desk were very helpful. Skip this place!

Great rink. We take both our son and daughter during free skate, they always have a great time. My son also takes lessons there. Great little place, run very well. Never too crowded.

Local Ice:
Finding ice time in Southern California is a challenge. YL Ice is so close.
Friendly:
The staff and coaches make skating fun and allow young skaters to develop skills to compete.
Home Town:
You get a hometown rink «small town» feel near a big city
Come here for recreation or to learn serious ice dancing.

Shout out to this awesome place! My son recently took a bad fall off of his skate board while heading down to the ice palace shopping center. He had several really bad cuts and bruises and was bleeding from at least 5 spots on his body! The employee at the desk was kind enough to help him dress his wounds! Thank you for hiring compassionate employees!

Never coming back to this stick time again. It’s robbery for the average player to get in some ice time. 15 dollars to play on ¹⁄₆^th of the ice while the coaches get as much room as they want. There were literally 12 players crammed into once little patch of the ice while the coaches got open ice with 3 – 4 players. Learn to manage your ice better or just eliminate stick time.

Tucked away in a plaza seemingly disguised as a grocery store, The Rinks — Yorba Linda Ice seemed like an odd place for an ice rink from the get-​go.
Aside from the sheet of ice, inside of the building there is a concession stand, video arcade area, pro-​shop, and about 4 or so locker rooms for hockey teams.
The pro shop had the bare necessities such as tape, skate laces, stick butt-​ends and a skate sharpening machine. Track suits of varying sizes were sold along with local rink t-​shirts, but other than that, not much else of note. I could not see any hockey gear or skates for sale.
The locker rooms were large and spacious and trimmed with nice wood paneling along the walls. There were no toilets or showers accessible in these locker rooms.
The ice itself was in very poor repair. Gouges could be seen well after the zamboni was utilized to surface the ice. The ice itself also just seemed very soft. This ice was unfortunately one of the worst playing surfaces I have ever had the displeasure of skating on.

When you come to this ice rink, even though very fun, make sure to come early. The employees aren’t friendly at all. And, when i went to go and rent skates, no one was there. Even though public skating lasts for an hour and a half, i only got to skate for 20 minutes. Come early.

Why did The Ducks have to ruin it? It was so homey before. The ice isn’t in great condition anymore, and it’s a shame to see it turned into such a boring franchise.
Oh well, the coaches are still great.

My daughter and I came here to play in their arcade. 4 of the machines took our money and didn’t work. One in particular took a dollar in quarters and I went up to the desk to ask for my money back and I was told that the machines were owned by a separate company. Unfortunately they wouldn’t refund me but there was no number on the machine to call for refunds. When talking to the girl at the front desk, she asked me 4 different ways if the machine gave me quarters back. I asked her how many times I needed to repeat myself. Then after checking all the machines for a number to call, I went back to the front desk to ask who owned the machines. The kid at the desk said they didn’t know who owned the games. Ahhhb. How do you not know who owns your arcade I said! This place is a zero star rip off! Not to mention that it costs a small fortune to skate there.

This rink has been in Yorba Linda for a number of years and it is evident. Dont get me wrong, the ice is cold and the coaches are great but the rink itself could have a few things looked at and fixed. I mean this rink was just purchased by the D-​Rinks recently; the same company who owns the Ducks so you know there is money that could be invested. The new management has done a couple things to improve the place but there is still work to be done. Other than the cosmetic side of the rink everything else is great. They have an awesome hockey program and figure skating program. The coaches are super knowledgable and nice. They take there time with kids and they make sure that everyone is being safe and careful. They have classes for all ages from tots to adults if you want to learn how to skate or brush up on your skills this is the best rink to go to in the area.

This place is awful.
Came here for my friends little brothers birthday party. Let Me tell you a few things. One, their idea of decorating the party area is including plastic table covers, balloons and streamers. Two, the ceiling looks like it is going to fall apart at any moment. The ventilation also leaks making the ice rink extra wet. Drips of water fall from the air conditions vents. The place looks deserted. The change matching for the arcade does not work, and when asking the cashier, both at the food area and the entrance, they don’t carry quarters. The tongs they provided for the salad were burnt and dirty. At one point no employees were in the building So we simply walked behind the food area to Get a towel to clean up some spilt drinks. Also throughout the entire general skating, 4 female employees were all just hanging out at the front kiosk just talking instead of walking around the rink helping people. The bathrooms are TOXIC!!! Would never come back here unless forced too.

We signed up for the parent and child skating package that was held on Saturdays for about 2 months. This rink is poorly run and the sessions will get canceled or rescheduled without notice. When we signed up we provided emails and phone nos. so there is no excuse not to mass email or texts to give a warning. Instead groups of parents along with their little ones will arrive only to be notified that the session was canceled. For those that have little ones you know it’s not easy to get them somewhere on time, but the rink management doesn’t have the courtesy and respect to advise the parents. We only showed up for 5 of the sessions — two ended up being canceled and one being rescheduled to the late afternoon. We were so pissed off we didn’t attend the rest of the sessions and the complaints to management were never addressed. These guys will screw you over for the bigger profits of skating programs and hockey sessions — it’s no wonder this rink is empty for most of their skating sessions. An advice to other parents try Anaheim Ice it is operated professionally and we were happy with the staff and the programs offered there for our kids. To the rink management — shame on you for ruining the skating experience for so many little ones!

Staff is friendly and very helpful. Ice is always cold. :-)
And the Nachos is overfilled with hot melted cheese.

Fun. Came on sat at 1230 and want too busy. Only free skating time. Lots of little ones but make it fun to watch. Man some of them are so so good.
Rental skates are pretty beat up. So bring extra socks for padding …
Very cool inside (hello it’s ice) but if ur skating ur ok
