Admission should be like $8, there's not much to this place. The Houdini exhibit was a joke. Literally the size of my walk-in closet and a total bore. Also there's no closed captioning for the hearing impaired. I have no hearing issues and still couldn't...More

Regular exhibit features interesting facts about the island's history. Special exhibits are changed - we saw the Houdini exhibit and the making of Jaws, the movie.
This is a great museum. We saw the Chihuly glass exhibit last year and this year there was an exhibit about the making of "Jaws" and a Houdini exhibit. Very interesting!

Thanks for your visit and your review. Glad to see that you enjoyed the JAWS exhibition. I just wanted to respond to the admission pricing and mention of the family rate. We do not offer a family rate because we allow all children, 15 &...More
Incredible place to learn new things! Jaws exhibit and things about the island and wringley. A good place to take kids and friends. You won't be disappointed.

The Jaws exhibit was fun. Houdini a little disappointing. History of Avalon was good. Nice gift shop. I'd go again.
It cost us $17 pp to go through this museum. We wanted to learn about Catalina's history and this gave us a good insight of the island. The current exhibitions was 1) Harry Houdini's film he filmed at Catalina and 2) The filming of Jaws.
In our opinion, the admission price was way too expensive. We spent about an hour in the museum and saw everything. The introductory movie was great but that was about it.
