The Wolf Museum of Exploration and Innovation

The Wolf Museum of Exploration and Innovation, Children's science museum in Funk Zone, Santa Barbara, United States.

Description

The Wolf Museum is a science museum with three floors of interactive exhibits spread across a large space. The rooms combine experiments in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics that invite visitors to explore and test ideas hands-on.

History

The museum opened in 2017 and brought new life to a section of Santa Barbara's Funk Zone as an educational center. This transformation marked an important moment for scientific learning in the local community.

Culture

MOXI prioritizes hands-on learning through exhibits like the Giant Guitar and Wind Column Workshop, encouraging visitors to experiment with scientific principles.

Practical

The museum provides plenty of space to explore and is welcoming for visitors of all ages. The exhibits are arranged so you can move through easily and switch between rooms without getting lost.

Did you know?

The rooftop garden has stations where visitors can conduct wind experiments while viewing the Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountains. This outdoor space is a surprising find that many overlook when focusing only on the indoor rooms.
