Santa Barbara Maritime Museum

Everything is interesting. I love the rooftop as well, relaxing and you can see the perfect view in Santa Barbara.

Cute museum with so many things to learn about the area. Had a great time visiting with my 13 year old son. Learned about the history of Santa Barbara, the lighthouse keepers, military, etc. Worth the visit.

Delightfully situated on the waterfront, a pleasant 15 minute stroll from State street and Stearns Wharf (one carpark to cross), museum is packed full of historical artefacts, photos, models and information panels on so many different subjects, including a full size Chumash boat, enormous lighthouse lens (see photo), diving suit and helmets, and more. One of my favourite exhibits is the tattoo parlour where you can get 5 different nautical tattoos (temporary only!) A few technical exhibits were out of commission, suggesting that this under-visited museum needs more support. Friendly staff and good gift shop (please add postcards related to the museum contents).

Interesting museum where you can discover the Santa Barbara canal and the maritime heritage of California, through interactive exhibits, objects preserved over time, films, etc ... Just the price of the entrance ticket, 10 $ per person.
