Your Next Step
As we allow advance reservations for groups, we DO take into account the number of expected guests, as well as their ages, so that we do not run out of rental skates in the appropriate sizes! To qualify for a discounted admission, we require a single payment for the entire group. Multiple payments are not accepted.

Group Size	Reservation Phone Number	Notes
10-20	Front Desk 415/820-3521	For discounts, reservation must be made at least three days in advance, no deposit required.
20 or larger	Bonnie Legg Director of Group Sales 415/820-3525 groupevents@skatebowl.com	Minimum of 7 days in advance, as we may not be able to accommodate your first choice of session during busy times. If your group is larger than 100, you should plan 4-6 weeks in advance. Groups larger than 200 in size may require cancellation of regular on-going programming, so must be planned at least 4 months in advance. The permitting process may require 45 days or more.
Hosted Parties & Birthday Parties	415/820-3526 parties@skatebowl.com	For groups under 40. Advanced reservations required (see our Parties page),

For whatever size group you anticipate, it's never too early to plan and when you call, please have your first and second choice of day, date and time available.

Food and Beverages
The Snack Bar, located in the Ice Center , is managed by Mo's Grill. They operate their full service restaurant directly above the Bowling Center . If you are bringing a group of any size, or are looking for that something special, we highly recommend that you contact Tammy, their manager, directly at 415/957-3779 as far in advance as possible. NO food or beverages may be bought into the facilities from ANY OTHER SOURCE.

Party Room, Party Area East and Hosted Parties
Inside the ice center, we have a small glass-enclosed party room, available weekdays and some weeknights. The room is rated to hold a maximum of 25 persons so please be sensitive as to the number of attendees in your group. The room may be rented for $40 per hour, and includes two 6' tables and 25 chairs. The room is rink side, and has a terrific view of the action. Mo's Grill can set up and service your special order while you are skating! Our Party Area East can hold up to 45, but is NOT a private room, but an area out of the way of the General Public. It can be rented for $50 per hour.

If you are interested in a hosted party package (weekends) or room rental (weekdays or evenings) for small groups (up to 40), please contact our Hosted Party Coordinator at 415/820-3526 or by e-mail at . Our hosted parties@skatebowl.com parties are available only on Saturdays and Sundays; these work best for children, ages 6-12, but can also work for any type of celebration that does not exceed 25 in number (as that is the maximum allowed in our Party Room). Some weekday parties might be available; please have your calendar available when you call!

Skating Instruction
Private instructors can be made available to your group. We recommend a ratio of 1 instructor to 10 students, so that all individual skaters benefit. This must be arranged for in advance.

Waiver
All group coordinators must understand that they must sign the Release included in the group agreement as soon as the reservation is made. Since ice skating can be a potentially risky activity, all participants acknowledge that they participate at their own risk. After your reservation is made, and you have received your group agreement, signature and return of that agreement signifies your acceptance of these responsibilities.

Private events at Yerba Buena Gardens
As any event contained within the perimeters of our Center may have a direct impact on the exterior of the Rooftop complex (traffic, parking, movement of groups from one location to another, load-in/load-out of supplies and equipment, etc.), a specific procedure must be followed no less than 45 days in advance to obtain all of the necessary permits needed to confirm to the requirements of both the complex and the City of San Francisco. These permits must be approved prior to the contractual agreement for any private event, preferably a minimum of 30 days before the event.

The areas outside of our facility are NOT included as a part of the facility space for any private function. They can be made available, however, at an additional cost, and only within the guidelines set forth by the Yerba Buena Gardens Management. Please contact us immediately if you are interested in any of the outdoor spaces. Check out www.yerbabuenagardens.com!

As our daily schedule is tightly programmed, we do not have many time slots available for private use. Hourly ice rentals can range anywhere from $500 per hour to $5,000 per hour, depending on time of day, day of week, time of year, etc. Please keep in mind that weekends and Holidays are considered to be prime times.
