3. Check Out the Catalina Casino
The Catalina Casino is the most recognizable building in Avalon, but it is not, as you might expect, a gambling spot. The world casino also means a gathering spot for entertainment. The iconic round building includes a ballroom, theater and a museum, and is a great place to watch a movie in style. It’s fun to take a tour to get all the inside details about the casino’s history, and listen to stories that go back to its introduction in 1929. The casino was first built under the direction of William Wrigley, Jr (of Wrigley gum fame), who owned the island at one point.
