A very nice museum for kids and grown ups. It is fun and entertaining. The people working there are super nice and friendly. Even if you are not a fan of nautical history, this museum has something for you. Highly recommended if you are visiting Santa Barbara.

The Fresnel lens was so amazing! I think Max could have looked at it for hours. I enjoyed the art and we both took in a film on the women surfers.

Amazing gem of a place to visit. Not too crowded, friendly staff. Take the "Virtual Dive". Great time.

Interesting place to learn about marine life in the area. Local fisherman and other boars around the area. Small enough to not get tired and kids don't get bored.
