Newport Beach Museum (Balboa Island)
Newport Beach, CA
Free (donations welcome)
By Simir Shah
This small museum at 210 B Marine Ave, formerly the Balboa Island Museum, has exhibits on the Balboa Island Ferry, the Fun Zone and local history. Ask at the desk for the kids' scavenger hunt. Marine Ave parking is limited to two hours, so plan to pair it with a frozen banana and the ferry.
