Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

The museum, built in 1923 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, features collections found in many older institutions such as mounted animals, birds, and pinned butterflies plus new and changing exhibits on earth, sea, and space sciences. There are also outdoor areas with live birds, a butterfly pavilion, and a native garden with very realistic animatronic dinosaurs.

The museum is accessible except for two dangerously steep ramps. The museum backyard trail was under construction during our visit and the alternate trail was not accessible so we missed that. The trail to the animatronic dinosaurs is accessible with assistance. Stay on the bricked and boardwalk paths for the most accessible routes. 

The accessible parking spaces near the entrance are too short for RVs but they can be parked across the regular spaces. There are accessible spaces at the west end of the lot where RVs can be parked without interfering with the traffic flow but it's a push uphill to the museum entrance. The dirt trails starting the west end of the lot are not accessible. Museum  34.44118, -119.71522
