What to Expect

Encounter the Catalina Casino the way it was intended, with a Page Organ concert, dancing in the ballroom and a romantic stroll along the promenade as the lights of Avalon reflect across the harbor.

This in-depth Casino experience will take you from the dramatic loggia, into the Avalon Theatre where you’ll enjoy freshly popped popcorn and see the awe-inspiring murals that encircle the theatre. From there, walk in the footsteps of Hollywood legends and Big Band icons as you ascend up to the dressing rooms & Wrigley Family’s private viewing room before heading up to the spectacular ballroom for a spin around the dance floor and a glass of wine. The magic hour of twilight provides the perfect backdrop to the views of Avalon Harbor from the promenade.

Your entertaining guide will share tales of the historic building and the unforgettable characters that make up its story. This is a Catalina Island experience you’ll never forget.

Exploring in the Casino Building:  This is a walking tour.  You will be walking throughout the Avalon Theatre & then walking up back-of-house stairs and ramps to the Catalina Casino Ballroom.  There are a combination of 4 flights of stairs and 4 ramps – 2 below the mezzanine & 2 above – that make climbing 12 stories easy and fun.

Photograph early and often:  This is one of the most remarkable buildings in the state.  Make sure to have your camera out before you start the tour.

What to bring and wear:  Wear comfortable clothes for the season. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended, as you will be walking up and down a series of ramps on the tour. Don’t forget your camera – this building is gorgeous and you will want to capture it on film.  While gratuities for your guide are not included in the cost of the ticket, they are accepted and appreciated.

Restrictions:  For your safety, you should be in good health & free from high blood pressure, heart, neck or back problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. The Twilight at the Casino Tour is wheelchair accessible. Please note there are 6 ramps that will be used to get from the theater downstairs to the ballroom upstairs.  Guests must have someone to push them or use a motorized scooter.  Should you be booking for a guest who uses a wheelchair or scooter, please reach out to us ahead of time so that we can make sure to have accommodations available for you on tour.
