Museum Admission

Open Wednesday–Sunday, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
Museum and Grounds

Our indoor and outdoor exhibits are open to a limited number of guests who reserve online in advance.

We have made changes to our cleaning and guest services protocols to keep everyone as safe as possible. Masks are required for anyone three years or older and must cover your nose and mouth at all times while on Museum property. Single-layer materials (e.g., bandanas) and masks with valves are not allowed per CDC guidelines

Tickets are non-refundable. One date change is permitted when requested 24 hours prior to the day of your visit.

We have implemented a one-way flow of movement from the Admissions, through our outdoor exhibits, and exiting past the observatory to the parking lot. Please maintain at least a six foot distance between you and anyone not in your household.
