The Maritime Museum is an ocean history and all things sea related museum. Exhibits include ocean exploration (from the Chumash, to the Spanish explorers, whaling ships and beyond), sport fishing, commercial diving, geology and history of oil. There is generally an ocean photography exhibit and a theater showing ocean related science films. There are a few interactive exhibits on tattoos, fishing, steering a ship, periscope as well as an area with crafts, dress up, a fishing activity and sailing activities. It is kid friendly and staff provides a scavenger hunt that when completed can earn a prize from the treasure chest.
Our favorites include the scavenger hunt, the dress up area (5 year old fav), art area (8 year old fav), Chumash section (Mom fav) and the "getting tattoos station."
