Adult Swim at the Sea Center

Enjoy the Sea Center’s unique hands-on exhibits after the kids have all gone home! Bring your friends or a date to get your hands wet touching friendly Swell Sharks, anemones, and sea stars. Enjoy breathtaking evening views of Santa Barbara’s coastline over a glass of Deep Sea wine and light nibbles (included with admission). Go upstairs to watch Aquatic Cathartic, a short documentary investigating the entangled roles of art and science in making the world a better place, and talk with one of the filmmakers. Then snap photos of the Instagrammable Moon Jellies, Two-Spot Octopus, and Mantis Shrimp. Tickets: $15 Museum & Sea Center Members, $20 non-members. Must be 21+ with valid ID.
