Coastal Location
Location, location, location. Whether you’re scooping up real estate or scoping out your next destination, we all know the importance of that eight-letter word. Make all your vacation dreams come true when you unpack your bags at The Westin Carlsbad. This hotel is right around the corner from big attractions like LEGOLAND, which hosts its annual Brick or Treat Halloween extravaganza each fall. Other nearby destinations include Carlsbad Village, which is chock-full of coffee shops and family-friendly dining spots. A short ten-minute trek will take you here and even to the beach for some fun in the sun.
Brick-or-Treat at LEGOLAND
Fall into the festive season with family fun at LEGOLAND’s Brick-or-Treat event! Catch some not-too-spooky shows on Sundays in October—because silly is the new scary. From monster parties to music mania, the kiddos will find endless entertainment, topped off with a sugar high from trekking through the Candy Cauldron Trail while pretending to be plundering pirates. Don’t forget to stop by the science station to see live experiments in the lab—and while you’re at it, mix things up with a Monster Mash Up Shake from Castle Ice Cream! This whole experience offers never-ending fun that’s sure to make memories for years to come. Be sure to take time for the meet-and-greets with characters like Spider Lady, Monster Rocker and The Mummy, too!
Fall Festivities
Settle in for s’more sweet memories with your crew on Friday nights through the month of October when The Westin Carlsbad hosts its Ghost Roast. Whether you like your marshmallows burnt, golden or somewhere in between, you’re sure to share some laughter and feels over the firepit. Once the kids are tucked in, head to 20|Twenty, where classy meets festive with an array of villain-themed cocktails. After all, you have to have a little bit of adult fun to keep you feeling young!
Kids Free October
Round up the kiddos and say so long to pinching pennies on family vacations. We all know traveling with the Brady Bunch can burn a hole in your pocket, so be sure to visit San Diego in October, when you’ll be able to take advantage of free deals for the littles in your line-up. When you book The Westin Carlsbad’s Kids Free package, you’ll receive two complimentary kids’ meals a day, among other perks. And while you’re in the area, check out City Cruises, where the kids can tour the San Diego coastline, learn about sea life and see stunning views while gliding along those “20,000 leagues under the sea” for no extra cost. The kids can also learn about sea lions, belugas and more when paying SeaWorld a free visit filled with trick-or-treating and cool characters.
Family-Friendly Dining
When it comes to kid-friendly eats, The Westin Carlsbad has you covered. The hotel’s signature restaurant, 20|Twenty, sources its coastal-inspired cuisine from local farmers and boasts amazing ocean views. Be sure to try the soft shell crab BLT, the classic burger (plant-based options are available) or the Cardini Caesar salad. Chef’s kiss!
Local Insight: Don’t miss happy hour at 20|Twenty, which takes place Monday through Friday from 4-6 p.m. in the bar and on the outdoor patio!
Amenities Galore
Kick back and relax as the kids splash and play their way through the day at The Westin Carlsbad’s kid-friendly pool. Bring down your book and sip on a little something iced as you and the kiddos soak up the fall sunshine. To ease parenting stress while you’re in town, hit the hotel’s luxurious Ocean Pearl Spa or the fitness center, which is open 24 hours. And for all you golf gurus (we know that’s one of many reasons to visit Carlsbad!), The Crossings at Carlsbad is just next door to the resort. Wake up to a relaxing morning brew, and then stroll over to the vast green for a satisfying round.
