US Airways - April 2014 - (Page 84)

Rediscover the World Around You At the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and Sea Center t's not every day you can touch a shark or walk through a life-size blue whale skeleton. At the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and Sea Center, you can do both - and so much more. Whether you fly through the Milky Way via the planetarium or crawl through the 1,500-gallon simulated tide pool, discover the fun in science and the wonders of the natural world at these two engaging sites. First, get ready to get your hands wet at the Sea Center. With the look and feel of a marine science laboratory, the Sea Center features interactive exhibits that highlight the marvelous diversity of ocean life in the Santa Barbara 84 APRIL 2014 usairwaysmag.com region and how we can help preserve it. Perched over the Pacific Ocean on Stearn's Wharf, the Wet Deck encourages guests to discover the ocean directly from the source. A favorite feature are the touch tanks, with sea stars, sea urchins, and even sharks. Plan your visit for a Sunday afternoon to watch the staff feed sharks and rays and learn about these sea creatures' feeding behaviors. Currently on exhibit is JELLIES & Friends, which offers guests the mesmerizing opportunity to witness the beauty of local soft-bodied marine life. Watch these elegant animals as they pulse, slither, and swim. Ready for dry land? Head to the Museum of Natural History. Located along Mission Creek, it hosts eight permanent exhibit halls dedicated to regional natural history, including astronomy, birds, insects, geology, botany, and mammals.
