Frommer's Review
This museum offers archival materials about the development of Coronado, as well as tourist information. Exhibits include photographs of the Hotel Del in its infancy, the old ferries, Tent City (a seaside campground for middle-income vacationers from 1900-39), and notable residents and visitors. Other memorabilia include army uniforms, old postcards, and even recorded music. You'll also learn about the island's military aviation history during World Wars I and II. Plan to spend up to half an hour here. The museum has a gift store with Coronado-themed items, and offers guided and self-guided walking tours of the area. Guided tours, including one of the Hotel Del (Fri-Sun 2pm), are $10 to $15 for ages 12 and above; other tours are scheduled daily (except Mon).
