We checked one place to ice skate with little kids in and around Fresno: one indoor rink with public skating. Anything a rink doesn’t post says Not listed, so call ahead before you go.
Season at a glance
Every rink on one timeline, so you can see what’s open the weekend you want to go. Tap a rink for prices and hours.
Holiday season
Seasonal and pop-up rinks, soonest first. The four boxes are what parents ask first: season, price, skate rental and skate aids.
Seasonal rinks usually announce dates in October or November. We check every week and add them once the rink’s own page has the dates.
Any season
Public skate sessions open to families. Session times change week to week, so each card links to the rink’s own page.
Fresno
Hours: Public sessions are posted month by month; most are two hours, with afternoon and evening sessions on weekends
A year-round indoor rink. It also runs Winter Wonderland public sessions in the holiday season.

Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page and links to it. We only list a date, time or price when that page shows it, and anything we can’t confirm stays off. These were last checked Oct 30, 2026, and we recheck them every week from October through February. How we choose and check.
