A free, all-ages event for families, students, and the entire community to experience the WILDLAND exhibition. Visit the Museum to see interactive and immersive video installations of wildfire and water systems; snuggle a therapy horse and meet adoptable cats; create sustainable arts-and-crafts projects; dance along to music from local bands and listen to Chumash storytelling; visit educational workshops and tables from local organizations; take a birdwatching hike to the Westmont garden; see the inside of a fire truck and meet firefighters; enjoy a picnic lunch and ice cream on the lawn. There's something for everyone!
