Get ready for a refreshing day of exploration, ocean views, and hands-on discovery! Join us for a delightful outing that combines a scenic coastal walk with a special visit to the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History.

We’ll begin with a relaxed, easy half-mile stroll through the charming Seabright neighborhood, walking along the cliff-top sidewalks with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. If conditions allow, we may even include a short walk on Seabright Beach to enjoy the sounds and smells of the sea.

Our walk will conclude at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, where we’ll enjoy a curated, accessible tour of the museum from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This visit will feature several tactile exhibits, including the popular tide pool exhibit and a large-scale 3D tactile model of the Santa Cruz Mountains—an amazing way to experience the landscape we all call home.

Come enjoy good company, fresh ocean air, and a fascinating museum experience—we hope you’ll join us for this special day out!

Space is limited to the first 20 participants, so be sure to reserve your spot soon! To sign up, please register below or contact Sophia at sboylan@vistarcenter.org
