To take a tour of the Historic Bob Hope Theatre is to travel back to experience one of Stockton's most iconic sites. Originally opened in 1930 as the Fox, the venue attracted quite a lot of attention (as well as patrons) for staging some of the most spectacular productions ever seen. The theater was also noted for its 2,170-seat capacity. The theater was renovated in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The three Wurlitzer pipe organs are still located in the loft, and one is used to regale audiences every second Friday of the month before a showing of a classic film. Tours of this incredible building are available by appointment.

Enjoy nature while still retaining access to all of the modern comforts when you make plans to spend some quality time at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina.

The resort also features an RV and camping area, so whether you choose to stay outdoors on land or navigate your vessel seaward, you can equally enjoy both at the Tiki Lagun Resort and Marina.
