Review:
Voted by Orange County readers to be one of the best museums of 2020, the Balboa Island Museum and Historical Society offers its visitors a deeper look into the rich history and heritage of this favored island in Orange County. The museum started out much smaller when it was originally founded in 2000, and eventually expanded into its current home in 2018. Its new home is quite fitting and historical as it used to be a yacht repair and storage garage from the 1920s. Visitors can expect to learn about Balboa Island entertainingly and interactively with its expanded exhibits, new collections, event spaces, and children’s interactive zone. The museum is free to view from Mondays to Sundays, and if you’re visiting with children, be sure to ask them about their Kids Scavenger Hunt!
