Holiday by the Bay
11.30.18
Hilton San Diego Bayfront just unveiled a newly reimagined Holiday by the Bay on select nights through January 5. The all-new Holiday by the Bay transforms Bayfront Park into the ultimate holiday destination and ice adventure park featuring San Diego’s only two-story, 100-foot ice tubing slide, ice bumpers cars, nightly snow flurries, an interactive light show featuring a 30-foot tall Christmas tree, festive fare, craft holiday cocktails, cozy fire-side lounges, gingerbread decorating, stocking trimming, and much more.
A portion of every ticket to the annual holiday tradition will benefit United Service Organizations Inc. (USO) San Diego, supporting America's military service members.
Executive Producers of The Queen Mary’s “Chill” and “Dark Harbor,” Los Angeles-based EPIC Entertainment Group, has developed an enchanting wonderland experience at Hilton San Diego Bayfront’s Holiday by the Bay, offering an exhilarating winter adventure park packed with inventive yuletide twists among traditional festivities.
Visitors will experience breathtaking activities including Reindeer Run, an exhilarating two-story, 100-foot ice tubing slide, Iceberg Bumper Boats, and an hourly interactive dynamic light show called Shine, sure to bring a smile to even the biggest humbug.
Adults can rediscover the cheer of childhood holiday memories while creating new ones with their families participating in time-honored traditions such as trimming stockings in Santa’s Workshop and decorating gingerbread in Claus Kitchen. Imbibe in craft holiday cocktails in cozy Yule Lodge, sip cocoa and toast s’mores at a private Fireside Lounge and gather loved ones on Polar Patio for festive fare from Elven Eatery and sweet treats from Kringle Bakery.
Discounted tickets are available online at Hiltonholidaybythebay.com starting at $20 for adults (age 12+) and $15 for children (ages 4 – 11). Children under the age of 3 are free. Active duty military saves $5 with valid military I.D. Parking is a flat fee of $20 with a Holiday by the Bay validation. Doors open at 5 p.m.
Holiday by the Bay is at Hilton San Diego Bayfront, Bayfront Park, 1 Park Blvd. in San Diego.
