Do your kids enjoy sliding across a freshly waxed gymnasium floor? Try sock skating at the Chabot Space & Science Center. Originally planned as an ice rink substitute, the center’s popular holiday attraction has been extended through Feb. 1.
Two sock-skating rinks, one for the little ones, are made from the same polycarbonate material used on practice hockey rinks.
Admission to the rinks is included with general admission Fridays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Bring your holiday fuzzy socks or buy a pair on site.
Visitors can view the night sky inside the planetarium’s 70-foot dome. If the weather is good, Chabot’s three historic telescopes perched 1,500 feet above the Bay are also open every Friday and Saturday night.
