More like the storage facility for the parade. Parking is a challenge as this is the parking lot for the college so you need to get there early on a school day. Their major business seems to be renting the place out for parties. They have quite a few carriages, but only a few have any descriptions. The saddles and tack are marked better. Some tools related to carriages are in front. One maintenance person was there, no other staff to answer questions. We were in and out in 40 minutes and that is longer than most will want to spend. It is free to go in and does open earlier than most museums so stop by if you are in the area.

Great place for a Sunday stroll. Awesome Santa Barbara history. The items on display are so well preserved and displayed! Needs to be open more hours.

One of the Hidden gems in Santa Barbara talk to way behind the baseball field its like walking into the past great education the most Stagecoach Museum so many different styles I would recommend anyone that likes the wild west even a collection of famous saddles. And history of Wells Fargo. A very low-key environment. I would recommend.

Great setting for old west themed events. Been part of the catering crew at this establishment 2 years in a row and the museum is AMAZING.

Its beautiful & has a wonderful history of the wild west, Santa Barbara style. The carriages, saddles & horse gear have been lovingly restored & displayed here. If you have an opportunity to visit this magical place (a lot of private & nonprofit functions are held here), dont miss it!

A MUST GO FOR TOURISTS AND LOCALS BOTH! There is wonderful California history waiting for you and your family.

Interesting place ! Small but compact . Had a good time

Fun at the Veterans Day event!

Great museum. Great place for special events.

Love these types of small museums. Great piece of American history and you can be in / out in 30 min or less.

Buckles N Brews be fest was awesome at this location.

Highly recommend. Great collection of different carriages, fun period decor and venue could be rented for a private event. One of the staff who worked there was very enthusiastic and told us interesting facts about various artifact that tied some of the pieces together.

Attended an event for Old Spanish Days parade volunteers and participants. The facility is great for events, I cannot comment about the museum since most carriages were secured away for the event. This is the second event that I have attended there where food quality, service and presentation were sub-par at best. If this is a contracted caterer for the facility they should reconsider

Very nice museum, small but free of charge. Recommend to visit of you will be nearby.

If youre in Santa Barbara you should check this place out.Some really cool saddles, carts and posters.The design of the museum itself is very creative and looks like an old Western town

Good museum of old carriages from western days. Restored carriages. Good location for group functions.

Serendipitous find near the waterfront! Very carefully preserved and fun collection ranging from Army and Circus carriages to an amazing collection of intricate saddles. Great, unique diversion.

Very interesting and historical western museum. Attended a memorial service in the rear of the building. Was a perfect location to gather family and friends to remember a wondrful friend.

Wonderful place, full of local history, old stage coaches, carriages, memorabilia

The Carriage Museum is a great place to visit and to host your events at! Within walking distance of the beach and plenty of off-street parking.

Beautiful museum with so much to see. Have held a function here for past 5 years and is always a great success.

Fun, quick trip for a family visiting Santa Barbara.

Small museum but well maintained.

What a great bit of off the beaten path SB history! Very cool displays of old west carriages, saddles, bridles, spurs, etc, and a fun place for events if you get the chance. Check it out!

Unique and interesting history of Santa Barbara as shown by carriages and great photos of centuries past.
