Event Description

The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History presents their latest exhibit, The Robot Zoo.

The Robot Zoo reveals nature as a master engineer. The machinery in three larger-than-life-size animated robot animals – a chameleon, fly, and platypus – simulates the anatomy and behaviors of their real-life counterparts.

In these robot animals muscles are pistons, intestines are filtering pipes, and brains are computers. Explore the biomechanics of complex animal robots through hands-on fun to discover how nature works.

Entrance to the exhibition is included with Museum admission.

Tickets: Members free; non-members $10/adult, $7/senior, $7/teen, $6/child. Parking is free. NOTE: The Museum is closed on Saturday, June 26, 2010 for the Santa Barbara Wine Festival.

Gallery Hours: Open Daily at 10AM
