Free Admission Day at Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History
Seabright
Get up close with taxidermy otters, touchable tide pools, and Ohlone artifacts at this pint-sized natural history museum perched right on Santa Cruz's beach. It's small, earnest, and genuinely charming: the kind of place where kids press their noses to glass and adults rediscover local wildlife.
