MOXI offers an immersive experience and an excellent spot for families and curious minds with hands-on exhibits focused on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). Great to spend at least 2 hours of your time here. Rooftop Sunset has stunning views of Santa Barbara.

This is a playground for kids, not a museum. Parking is hard to find but there is one next to the building if you want to play. We stayed for 2h30 minutes and you can probably stay longer since there is many things to do....Read More

This was one of the most fun and informative interactive children's museum I've seen. Even fun for adult engineers like me and my husband. If you are adventurous there is a "sock ice rink" to slide around on.
