The Coronado Historical Association invites you and your family to join us for the final installment of the 2024 Wine & Lecture Series: Holiday Traditions at the Hotel del Coronado. Bring the whole family to experience the magic of the Hotel del Coronado’s holiday history with CHA’s Vice President, Robin Siara. For 135 years, the Hotel Del has brought holiday cheer to locals and visitors alike with enchanting events. From the world’s first electrically lit outdoor Christmas tree and charming Victorian teas to today’s Skating by the Sea, these traditions have always dazzled and delighted. Come celebrate with us as we journey back in time to enjoy the holiday heritage of our island’s historic treasure.

Festive refreshments along with wine for adults will be served.

They call it the perfect city. With surf, sand, and superb weather, millions of visitors flock to San Diego every year. This oasis at the crossroads of desert and sea is a natural marvel and boasts the highest diversity of plants and animals of any other county in the contiguous U.S.

Blue Whales: Return of the Giants takes you on a journey of a lifetime to explore the world of the magnificent blue whale, a species rebounding from the brink of extinction. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived—bigger than any dinosaur—yet we know surprisingly little about them.

This boat tour provides visitors with an educational tour of San Diego Bay. The 45-minute Bay sightseeing tour takes guests out on the water in a large loop first heading toward North Island and the Aircraft Carriers, then stopping at buoy 22. Guests will then head just under Coronado Bridge and make a port (left) turn around one of the bridge pillars. The vessel then heads back towards the Maritime Museum along the downtown side of the waterfront.  Several attractions will be highlighted along the way as guests enjoy the fresh air and view.

Sheduled daily tour times Monday through Friday at 11:00 a.m. 12:45 p.m., 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m.

Weekends: 11:00 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 1:45 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m.
