Small, free museum. Amazing collection of vintage saddles, bridles, and carriages. A replica of a western town main street is located behind the museum building. Great for picture taking.

More like the storage facility for the parade. Parking is a challenge as this is the parking lot for the college so you need to get there early on a school day. Their major business seems to be renting the place out for parties. They have quite a few carriages, but only a few have any descriptions. The saddles and tack are marked better. Some tools related to carriages are in front. One maintenance person was there, no other staff to answer questions. We were in and out in 40 minutes and that is longer than most will want to spend. It is free to go in and does open earlier than most museums so stop by if you are in the area.

Free when we arrived and we walked in. You can walk right up to the carriages. The courtyard is set up like a western town. Looks like they have interactive events.

Great small museum. Happy we took the time. Very interesting about saddles and stagecoaches etc.

Such a cool little place. hidden gem. Free to get in. Tons of saddles and other special collections. Would have loved more info about the actual carriages. Great to visit for 30 mins to an hour or so if you like to read everything like I do. Little park is cute but was a bit shabby and litter filled.

It doesn’t seem like a ton of people even know this museum exists, but I must say you have to do it! My boyfriend and I both are big horse people so we absolutely loved it, but even if you’re not I think you’d still really enjoy it! They have beautiful saddles and tack on exhibit, as well as tons of beautiful carriages! They also have an area that looks just like an old western town! This museum might have been my favorite thing on our trip up here! So you have to go see it! Plus it’s free!

Nice place to spend half an hour. The carriages are cool but the star is the room of ornate saddles. We had the place to ourselves which was nice for our small family.

Great place for a Sunday stroll. Awesome Santa Barbara history. The items on display are so well preserved and displayed! Needs to be open more hours.

Great setting for old west themed events. Been part of the catering crew at this establishment 2 years in a row and the museum is AMAZING.

If you like horse tack, saddles, bridles, carriages & Western art - this museum is free, open weekdays 9 to 3pm. Old Spanish Days headquarters.

I Volunteered this past Friday Aug.5th,2022. We BBQ'd 700lbs.of Tri-Tip Steaks,& 700lbs.of Chicken & about 200 rolls of Garlic Bread for The Carriage Museums 50th Anniversary. This place has some Awesome Saddles. Ken B. Fraser IV of Ventura,California.

Ive been here twice for two different family and friend events. Very nice Western feel throughout entire museum theres so much to look at. Nicely detailed well taken cared of. If i could i would go again and again. I just wish i would have tooken more pictures throughout the museum. Family and Friends had a Great Time:) If you like Cowboy anything you will definetely like this place a lot.

Very nice place for a wedding reception or other party! Room to dine, dance, and 2 bars, and an outdoor area.

Cool, little place, that I never knew existed

Very nice

This is a little treasure of a museum tucked next to an athletic field. They have quite a lot of vintage saddles, and several old vehicles. The museum is free, though they hope that you will leave a donation. They also have the original "Cisco Kid" suit that was worn in the early TV series. This was a pleasant way to spend 30 minutes.
