About this adventure
Transforming the Del Mar Fairgrounds along the Pacific coast, Coastal Christmas is a massive multi-acre holiday winter wonderland. The event features a towering walk-through illuminated light maze, real ice skating on a 6,000-square-foot refrigerated rink, and a dedicated Glice eco-slide for toddlers. Families can stroll through the holiday artisan village, take photos with Santa Claus, and relax in heated indoor pavilions featuring holiday snacks, local craft cider, and sweet hot chocolate. The fairgrounds provide expansive paved paths, elevator-equipped buildings, and plentiful stroller-friendly parking.
