Santa Barbara, CA — Blind Fitness is proud to announce a special collaboration with the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center, offering individuals who are blind or have low vision an exclusive private experience before the museum opens to the public.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 9, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, welcoming Blind Fitness participants and volunteers for an engaging morning of hands-on exhibits, sensory exploration, and guided learning centered around marine life and coastal ecosystems.

Located on Stearns Wharf, the Sea Center has generously arranged for Blind Fitness guests to enjoy early access beginning at 9:30 AM, with knowledgeable staff available to guide participants through exhibits in an interactive and accessible format.

“This experience reflects what is possible when community organizations come together with inclusion at the center,” said Tania Isaac-Dutton, Executive Director of Blind Fitness.

“Access to science, nature, and meaningful shared experiences enriches lives and strengthens community. We are deeply grateful to the Sea Center for their generosity and partnership.”
