About Santa Barbara Maritime Museum

Santa Barbara Maritime Museum occupies the Waterfront Center building in Santa Barbara Harbor and functions as an interactive museum where visitors experience maritime culture directly in the harbor setting. The museum features the JIM diving suit as a centerpiece attraction and hosts the Maritime Distinguished Speaker Series with presentations on coastal conservation and stewardship. The facility offers exhibitions on maritime history, including displays related to the museum's 110-year heritage, and organizes specialized programs such as grey whale charters to San Ignacio Lagoon. A visit involves walking through the museum's historic interior path and exploring its collection at a pace suited to individual interest. The museum is located in Santa Barbara, California, open daily. The Museums for All program provides two savings options: discounted admission at $2 per person when presenting an EBT card or SNAP benefits, down from the standard $6, or an annual family membership for $20 per EBT card household, which includes two guest passes. Current details appear at sbmm.org.
