As
a
volunteer
at
the
Sea
Center
since
2020
I
want
to
share
my
experience
with
the
amazing
animals
and
staff.
First
of
all
it's
open
for
all,
children
and
olders
including
people
using
a
wheelchair
(there
is
an
elevator
inside
just
ask
for
it)
🙌
Purchase
the
ticket
on-site.
The
price
for
adults
(18-64)
is
$12,
Senior
(=>65)
is
$10,
teenager
(13-17)
is
$10,
child
(2-12)
is
$9
and
free
for
child
under
2
years
old
and
members.
Open
daily
from
10
am
to
5pm.
There
is
a
parking
on
the
pieer
(Stearns
Wharf).
Free
for
90
minutes
and
then
$2.50
per
hour.
$20
daily
maximum.
But
it
can
be
crowded,
you
can
also
find
nearby
city
lots
that
also
offer
the
90
first
minutes
free.
Volunteers
and
staff
keep
the
mask
but
if
they
don't
it's
because
they
are
vaccinated
for
the
covid
and
choose
to
not
wear
it
in
that
case
they
will
wear
a
badge
"vaccinated"
𝟭)
Downstair
you
have
all
the
touch
tanks
with
awesome
animals
that
you
are
allowed
to
touch.
(Good
moment
to
teach
your
children
to
be
gentle
with
the
animals
!).
You
will
be
able
to
touch
very
friendly
sharks,
stingray,
starfishes
but
also
sea
cucumber,
sea
urchins,
anemones,
sea
snails.
There
is
also
the
"wet
deck"
where
you
will
learn
about
all
the
scientist
tools
used
for
studying
the
ocean
and
the
animals.
All
the
time
you
will
be
accompanied
with
volunteers
and
staff
that
teach
about
the
ecosystem,
the
animals
and
to
answer
all
your
questions.
𝟮)
upstairs
you
will
find
more
animals
in
aquariums
(no
touch),
with
an
abalone
and
marine
mammal
stand.
Very
beautiful
and
interesting,
always
with
explanations
along
the
way.
There
are
no
public
toilets
available
inside.
So
use
the
one
just
outside
the
building
before
entering.
Think
to
bring
a
jacket
in
case
of
wind,
and
short
sleeves
for
touching
the
animals
in
the
water.
I
can
tell
that
all
animals
are
very
well
fed
and
in
a
very
good
health
(and
beautiful
!).
They
all
do
a
very
good
job
👏
I
think
you
have
all
you
need
now
to
enjoy
your
day
at
the
sea
center
😁
Welcome
in
Santa
Barbara
!
