Santa Barbara County is not wanting for fantastic museums, bit it’s the county’s only children’s museum, the Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum, that beat out all the others for the top spot. It’s because the museum serves as a backbone of the Santa Maria Valley and the surrounding areas, namely families, that the museum is a popular success, explained Executive Director, Chris Slaughter. “We love our families; they are what make us vital and exciting and fun,” she said. “We’re a wonderful place for families to interact, work, learn, and have fun together with our exhibits and programs.”
