Holiday Skate Center opened in 1973 at 175 N. Wayfield Street in Orange: a 19,015 square foot rink on a 1.5 acre site.

Its final sessions were on August 2, 2026. The lease ended June 30 and the property owner chose not to renew it. A proposed 46-townhome project would need the site rezoned from commercial to residential, and a community petition opposed it.

This is not Holiday Skating Center in Victorville, which is open.
