About this adventure
Now in its 29th incredible year at The Old Globe in Balboa Park, Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is San Diego's most beloved theatrical holiday tradition. Whoville comes magically to life on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage with whimsical costumes, catchy musical numbers including 'You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,' and Cindy Lou Who touching the heart of the grumpy green Grinch. Families can pose beside the giant 30-foot Grinch holiday tree in the Copley Plaza before the performance. Booster seats, sensory friendly performances, and stroller checks are available in the lobby.
