Enjoy Fall San Diego Fun at the Dana
Fall is one of the best times to visit San Diego! Not only do we have tons of fun events happening at our hotel, but the city itself is teeming with activities the whole family will enjoy! Celebrate Halloween with a kids costume contest and trick-or-treating, our spooky dive-in movie series, and vote for the best Jack O’ Lantern carved by our talented staff. Scare yourself silly at SeaWorld’s Howl-O-Scream, indulge in German beers at San Diego’s Oktoberfest, and so much more this season!

SeaWorld is hosting not just one, but two seasonal spookfests this Halloween. The “treats by day” Halloween Spooktacular is a family-friendly event where kids can come to trick-or-treat, show off their costumes, and visit their favorite animal friends. The other side of the coin is the “frights by night” Howl-O-Scream celebration, where the SeaWorld you know and love will be transformed into a seriously sinister experience, complete with creepy creatures and haunted horrors. Visit if you dare!
