Manipulating water can be one of life's greatest joys, whether you propel it through pressurized plastic guns, burn it to create cloud dragons, or freeze it into Arctic supervillain headquarters. Discover how nice ice is with today's Groupon. For $8, you get admission and skate rental at Downtown Ice, San Jose's only outdoor ice rink. This deal is valid for one-day admission during opening week, which runs from November 19 to November 24. Downtown Ice is open during the day and at night. Located amidst a sea of palm trees in downtown San Jose, this ice rink gives the blade-footed a surreal setting for skating and catching a beautiful blue ice tan. And word on the sidewalk is that on Monday of opening week, a special performance will be given at 5:00 p.m. by former world champion pumpkin-carver and speed-yodeler Kristi Yamaguchi.
