This is a great photo op of a historical mission in Santa Barbara. You pay $9 for an adult to get a walking tour pamphlet. I would recommend the film which is the first stop since it gives you the history of the place. It loops so we started in the middle and then left where we started. You tour the courtyard and cemetery. Amazing huge tree there. From there you enter the church proper. Masses are Saturday at 4:00 and on Sunday at 7:30, 9:00 and 11:00. If you tour during these times, you will not be allowed to tour the church. The museum has some interesting authentic items related to the Franciscan monks. A quiet reflective visit.

Great little side trip. A must if your in Santa Barbara! Very interesting self guided tour of one of the oldest missions in the US. The church/ chapel was magnificent. Only negative was it was raining the day we went and couldn't walk the gardens. :( will be back on a nicer day!

My husband’s family is from Santa Barbara so when we got engaged in the mission's rose garden it was fate for us to get married in the mission.The mission is beautiful and the wedding pictures are gorgeous. It looks like I had a wedding like Princess Diana.If you are Catholic I recommend getting married here. The price is high, I think it was $5,000. The priest we worked with Father Charles Talley was amazing. He made our bi-lingual marriage ceremony come true where both sides of our families felt connected. The music and cantor (singer) were amazing (but they are an additional cost). The music director Roy Spicer was easy to work with and very informative and made a great program for our guest to follow along. The cantor, Bryan Lane had a beautiful voice and was also bi-lingual. Cannot say enough about these two gentlemen and how seamless they made the sacrament for our guest. No one complained about our FULL MASS CATHOLIC WEDDING! Our guest really enjoyed the ceremony, which we were happy to hear as most people don’t say that until the reception!My only downside is the required wedding coordinator. She was scatter brain, unorganized, and not easy to work with…don’t want to mention her name but they really need to hire someone else…sorry!

The Old Mission in SB is beautiful. They are doing great work trying to restore the grounds back to their original state while also maintaining the garden in a water-friendly manner. The museum had a great collection of 18th-19th century artifacts. I think the admission price was fair as well. The self-guided tours were also well-laid out.

A little disappointed that there was a charge to see a religious site. However,understandable, since the mission is so well maintained. The gardens, the church and the rooms seem to appear to be quite authentic. The church is beautiful.

This mission is beautiful and rich in history. This was are favorite stop on our eight day trip from L.A. to Cambria. it was like visiting Italy again. Thank you.!!!!

They don't call it the "Queen of the Missions" for nothing. Mission Santa Barbara is beautiful, very well maintained, and the museum has a lot to see and is very educational (but I agree the tour is a bit pricey). The graveyard is very interesting, many early Santa Barbara families are buried there so you'll see many of the same names on street signs and historical adobes around town. Make sure you take the time to go across the street and check out the historical ruins. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy it at the Mission Rose garden across the street, one of the most beautiful spots and views in Santa Barbara.

Mission Santa Barbara is truly the most beautiful of all the missions...with the mountains as a backdrop, situated on a slight hill fronted by rolling lawns and gorgeous rose gardens..there is nothing more beautiful.. Once inside, the poignant history of the missions and Padre Serra's untiring efforts to help educate and improve the lives of the local Indians is revealed in a modest museum...including the Spartan living quarters of the Franciscan friars who lived there. Old adobe paths and gardens mark the inner courtyard, and there is an historic cemetery in the mission side yard...But the real jewel of the tour is found inside the mission itself.. where the log-beamed ceilings and painting call to mind the architectural feats of several hundred years ago...and the beautiful statues and art remind you of the specialness.. and the sacredness ..of this amazing place.

Terrible gift shop, better things to tour and do. Sad they ruined outside by using paint that bled. Not managed well for a historic site.

Something totally different compared to other part of the Santa Barbara. First we saw youngsters do skateboarding near the Pier, then we explored the vibrant city center and after all this we drove to the calming peace of Santa Barbara Mission.
