Oh, the Places You'll Go!

“What if you could experience one of the most comprehensive museum collections ever put together on the Art of Dr Seuss and be the first to witness a commemorative release celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Oh The Places You’ll Go? ”

This "Exclusive VIP Event" celebrates Dr. Seuss's artistic legacy in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of his final book, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Twenty-five years have passed since Dr. Seuss’s final words to us were published. At the time, we didn’t know these would be his last—but he knew. His biographers, Judith and Neil Morgan, would later write: “There was never any doubt that Ted considered Oh, the Places You’ll Go! his farewell salute, his last parade, Mulberry Street gone worldwide.”

Theodor Seuss Geisel's 1970 painting I Dreamed I Was a Doorman at the Hotel del Coronado — Theodor Seuss Geisel's 1970 painting *I Dreamed I Was a Doorman at the Hotel del Coronado*

The Hotel del Coronado is a National Historic Landmark, a true American treasure with more than 120 years of fascinating stories to tell. It is one of the few surviving examples of an American architectural genre: the wooden Victorian beach resort.

When it opened in 1888, it was the largest resort hotel in the world and the first to utilize electrical lighting. The electric wires were installed inside the gas lines, so if the “new-fangled” electricity didn’t work, they could always pipe illuminating gas into the rooms. Thomas Edison inspected the final electrical installation and returned in 1904 to oversee the nation’s first illuminated outdoor Christmas tree, which was placed on the hotel’s lawn.

Located on 28 oceanfront acres, the hotel's spectacular setting, impeccable service and award-winning cuisine will make it the perfect home base for our weekend of activities.
