At the Museum and Sea Center
Join the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center for our annual Underwater Parks Day Festival!
Dive into the world of marine science with interactive activities and crafts. Learn about octopus camouflage and go on an octopus hunt around the Sea Center habitats. Be inspired by local poets and write your own ocean-themed poetry.
Connect with marine conservation specialists to learn more about the Santa Barbara Channel. The annual Underwater Parks Day Festival is a celebration of Marine Protected Areas, which are underwater parks that preserve the biodiversity and abundance of ocean life.
