Located less than 10 minutes from downtown San Diego, Mission Bay Park is a city-owned, 4,600-acre man-made aquatic playground, the largest park of its kind in the world. Your attendees can sail, swim, powerboat, and fish in separate designated public areas year-round. Mission Bay is also home to SeaWorld San Diego and waterfront family hotels and upscale resorts. For off-site dining options, Mission Beach and connecting Pacific Beach are overflowing with casual beachside fare, ethnic cuisine, or restaurants with Pacific Ocean views. Adjacent to Mission Beach is Belmont Park, featuring a vintage roller coaster, amusement arcades and the Wave House, a beachside outdoor event center with a simulated surfing platform.

Great Reasons to Connect in Mission Bay & Beaches

BELMONT PARK ENTERTAINMENT

Four dynamic event spaces - endless ocean views. The historic Belmont Park isn't just for kids. This beach-front amusement park provides meetings and event attendees amazing views of the Pacific Ocean with luxurious cabanas, rooftop patios, fire pits, and golden sand. And, there's plenty of good ol' fashion fun with roller coasters, thrill rides, and simulated wave machines.

MARINA VILLAGE CONFERENCE CENTER

This hidden gem is nestled along the shores of Mission Bay. The waterfront venue offers a mix of large halls for keynotes and exhibits, and smaller more-intimate rooms for breakouts or executive meetings. All spaces open to views of the marina or courtyard, and parking is always free. They also offer full-day meeting rates rather than per-hour charges.

SEAWORLD SAN DIEGO

Get your attendees out of the conference room and into an adventure! With a meeting or event at SeaWorld, you can do business while adding tours, animal encounters, and rides that only SeaWorld can deliver. Host a VIP dinner with polar bears, or a banquet with penguins. With dozens of indoor and outdoor venues, the options for a memorable event are as big as the sea itself.

MISSION BAY PARKS

Mission Bay is the largest man-made recreational aquatic park in the world featuring water sports from kayaking to paddle-board, jet skiing to sailing. Ski Beach and Hospitality Point are just two of 15 unique spaces where you can host a relaxing and SoCal-inspired event. Or, take over all of Fiesta Island for a team building tournament of epic proportions.

STERNWHEELERS OF EVANS HOTELS

Step back in time on a "Turn of the Century" Mississippi-style stern-wheeler that offers boat cruises on the waters of Mission Bay. Equipped to handle 600 guests, these classic boats provide all the modern amenities while still maintaining an air of 19th century elegance.
