The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History preserves extensive natural history collections of approximately 3.5 million objects used for research ranging from anthropology to zoology. Every year, they discover and describe new species, investigate past and current changes in our natural environment, and assist in projects of environmental conservation and restoration. Exhibits reflect the biodiversity and native culture of the Santa Barbara region including Mammal Hall, Bird Hall, Chumash Life, Gem & Minerals, and Earth Sciences. The Museum has the only planetarium on the Central Coast and offers free shows daily. Engaging outdoor exhibits include the Museum Backyard and Nature Club House, and Prehistoric Forest which features animatronic dinosaurs.

10min walk away Open daily 10AM-5PM. This large, well-presented museum is - literally - a hidden treasure. Highlights in the eleven exhibit halls include regional natural history, a life-size Blue Whale skeleton, and a rare skeleton of a pony-sized "pygmy mammoth." $10 for adults; free on the 3rd Sunday of every month except September.
