San Diego: Halloween family fun at Hyatt Regency Mission Bay

Is your neighborhood a dud when it comes to Halloween? If you’re thinking about taking a quick getaway over Halloween weekend this year and haunted hotels and haunted houses are a bit too scary or inappropriate for your kids, you might want to consider a quick jaunt down to San Diego. The Hyatt Regency Mission Bay near Sea World is ramping up the Halloween fun for guests from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, and the room rates won’t scare you one bit.

Halloween travel deal: Room rates starting at $135 per night come with lots of family-friendly Halloween activities, including:

> Three waterslides with haunted music, spooky sounds and lights that will have kids lined up until 10 p.m.

>A spooky family movie in the pool, Halloween s’mores and monster-themed hula-hoop contest.

>Trick-or-treating at several locations in the hotel.

> Halloween-themed pool cabanas for adults.

“We encourage kids to trick-or-treat in costume in our safe family environment and enjoy our many spooky activities ranging from haunted waterslides to Halloween family s’mores,” said Prescott Yee, director of guest services and recreation at the HR Mission Bay.

Tip: Sea World is less than a mile away and having Spooktacular events through Nov. 1.

When: Oct. 30-Nov. 1.

Tested: When I checked rates on Hotels.com, room rates at various weekends in October and November ranged from $127 per night (Nov. 20-22) to $229 per night (Oct. 16-18). For a four-star hotel that’s just completed a $65-million renovation, these rates are reasonable, and the real point of this deal is to take advantage of the Halloween fun and proximity to great family-friendly travel attractions such as SeaWorld, San Diego Zoo and Legoland.
