Looking for something to do during the holidays? Here are some of the exciting events coming up in San Diego in December.
Our regular Knight and Day will return Thursday, Jan. 5, to update on upcoming events, activities and opportunities happening on campus.
Hotel Del Coronado Nov. 21.- Jan. 4
Hotel Del Coronado opens its doors for “A Holiday in Oz” holiday celebration.
The trees decorated with glittering lights and decorations throughout the hotel make it a magical walkthrough for all ages.
The hotel’s “Skating by the Sea” will also be making a return for the season. As the rink faces the coast, a beautiful view. will make the experience unlike any other.
“Some people have never stepped on the ice before, while others have been skating their entire lives.” said Samuel Fausto, Ice Rink Events employee.
While working there, Fausto believes the ice rink is special in regards to the interactions he notices from all the different types of people who go.
“I meet couples celebrating anniversaries, people on first dates, parents bringing their kids to skate for the very first time, and groups of friends simply looking to have fun,” Fausto said. “No two guests are the same.”
Attendance to view the decorations at the hotel is free.
Tickets for the ice skating rink start at $40. The price includes admission to the rink and skates.
