Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

The Avalon Theatre sits on Avalon Bay on Santa Catalina Island at 1 Casino Way in Avalon, California. This seasonal screening presents Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) as a communal island night of cinema. The film runs two hours, is rated PG, and revives Kevin McCallister’s battle with the Wet Bandits amid skyscrapers and subway capers.

Watching it here feels different than a mainland theater. You arrive by foot from the waterfront, or by the short shuttle from the ferry, and the Casino’s round façade looms behind the theater. Sea air carries a chill in winter, and the harbor lights glitter against the dark bay.

The Avalon Theatre is wheelchair accessible and offers assistive listening devices, making it welcoming for a wide range of visitors. Admission is affordable: General Admission $16.50, Child (2-11) $14.50, Senior (65+) $14.50, Avalon Resident $12.50. Tickets are single admission and the venue notes no refunds or exchanges.

Practical rules matter here. Photography and videography are strictly prohibited during the feature, and outside food or beverages are not allowed. Under 18 are not admitted without an adult chaperone.

Chaperones must be at least 21, carry photo ID on request, and remain seated with their group. What makes this screening special is context. Catalina Island offers coastal cliffs, kelp forests offshore, and a small island community that turns an evening film into a local event.

Nearby attractions include the Catalina Casino (opened 1929), the Wrigley Memorial and Botanic Garden, and the Catalina Island Museum for postshow exploration. Arrive early to grab a seat, enjoy a harbor stroll, and watch skippers guide boats past the crescent bay. The Avalon Theatre offers a concise and family friendly night out that pairs classic holiday comedy with the island’s particular charm.

For meeting details go to The Avalon Theatre - 1 Casino Way, Avalon CA. The screening includes admission for one (ADMIT ONE), and while concessions are limited inside, the nearby waterfront offers spots to warm up before the show. The theater’s compact size creates an intimate viewing experience that makes comic pratfalls and clever traps land with full effect.

For visitors arriving by ferry from the mainland, Avalon provides a quick dose of island culture: seafood shacks, coastal walks, and relaxed streets for evening wandering. Whether you are a returning resident looking for a holiday tradition, or a first-time visitor seeking a different kind of movie night, Home Alone 2 at the Avalon Theatre makes for a playful island outing. Tickets move quickly for special showings, so check availability and arrive prepared to enjoy two hours of holiday mischief with harbor views out the lobby windows.

Bring good cheer.
