MOXI, The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation has a new interactive exhibit at the Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) for travelers of all ages.

This partnership, made possible through the support of the Audacious Foundation, Fuse Connect, and Visit Santa Barbara, provides families with moments of discovery during their journey.

Located near Gate 2 and the Mamava nursing pod, the exhibit includes innovative installations that bring MOXI’s signature playful learning approach to airport travelers.

Passengers can explore a hands-on sensory experience with an Airplane Color Mixing Wheel, Talk Tubes, and a Tactile Marble Wall while watching airplanes take off.

“This partnership with MOXI exemplifies the power of community collaboration in enhancing the traveler experience,” said Chris Hastert, airport director. “The exhibit reflects our shared commitment to innovation and enriching connections with those we serve.”

”We are thrilled to extend our mission beyond museum walls with this installation,” said Kaia Joye Wesolowski, MOXI’s director of Learning Experiences.

The initiative aligns with MOXI’s commitment to accessible, interactive STEAM education in the community. By partnering with SBA, the museum expands its reach, complementing its ongoing efforts in community engagement through outreach and after-school programs at local public elementary schools.
