Botanic Garden – Senior Day
Summary
A Destination for Seniors (60+): With sweeping views to the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Santa Barbara Channel Islands and stunning landscapes, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is a great place to explore California’s native plant diversity.
Description
Fresh air, open space, and the quiet beauty of California’s native plants — free Senior Days are designed with you in mind. Guests 60 and older receive free admission on select days throughout the year, made possible by the continued generosity of Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels.
It’s a chance to spend time outside, learn something new, and take in the changing seasons across the Garden’s living collection. Come for a walk, stay for the calm, and leave feeling refreshed.
