Organization Description

The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History inspires a thirst for discovery and a passion for the natural world. Visitors of all ages can enjoy interactive indoor and outdoor exhibits and explore regional mammals, birds, marine life, paleontology, geology, and local ecology. Volunteer opportunities may be available for public interpretation and occasional behind-the-scenes collection assistance.

The Sea Center is a small aquarium and marine education facility offers guests hands-on encounters with life from the Santa Barbara Channel. On the Wet Deck, guests experiment like scientists by using oceanographic tools to sample the ocean and examine life below.
