Ask about a private slotOne slot, or several
Every journey is capped at forty-five guests. Reserve the whole slot and that journey is private. Need more room? Reserve the next slot too.
Slots run roughly 3:00 to 8:00 PM on thirteen December nights. Dates and arrival details
As a private event venue it is unusual for San Diego County: fully indoor, at a Park Hyatt, and produced for you rather than rented to you. It sits in North County, about forty minutes from downtown San Diego and an easy evening drive from Orange County, with parking on site.
Three ways to book a private Christmas party in Carlsbad

A corporate holiday party
The San Diego company holiday party or team outing without the planning. Ninety minutes, fully produced, indoors at a Park Hyatt in Carlsbad, with nothing for you to organize but the guest list. Dinner at the resort afterward, and rooms if the team is coming from out of town.

A December birthday
The whole class, the cousins, and the parents, with live entertainment playing to your group in every room and a stocking of gifts for every child to take home. The birthday photo with Santa is built in.

The whole family, all at once
Grandparents, cousins, and toddlers moving at your own pace, indoors and out of the weather. A private slot means the pace is set by your family, not by whoever else booked that hour.

Group questions
Can we book for more than forty-five people?
Yes. Each time slot holds up to forty-five, and multiple time slots can be reserved together, so a group of ninety takes two back-to-back journeys.
Is a private slot the same experience?
Yes. All five rooms, the entertainment, the elf, the stocking stuffers, and Santa. The only difference is that everyone in the journey is with you.
Can adults and children mix in a private group?
Yes. The experience is built for all ages. Children under 18 months do not need a ticket, and adults can add a stocking for $20 so they collect along the way too.
Can we add dinner or rooms at the resort?
Park Hyatt Aviara has restaurants on the property and offers room packages for event guests. About the resort. Dining and rooms are booked with the hotel, not through us.
