Until 4:45 pm every day, you can take an elevator to the top of the tower. They've also opened a marvelous gallery to view the inside of the clock mechanism .

Pavan Kulkarni

Stunning views of the city from the viewing tower and the most beautiful spanish interior architecture you can ever see. Go b4 few minutes of clock striking every hour to see the mechanical clock

Aidan Smith

Well-kept grass area which is nice for lounging or a picnic . The architecture is beautiful. There are a lot of kids here, which can either be positive or negative.

The views are beautiful and the tour goes over a lot of the architecture of the building. It is a really beautiful place. Be sure to go when the Clock Gallery is open!

Check out the amazing views from the clock tower, the mural room on 2nd floor, and the beautiful tile work. Clock tower closes early so get there early in the day.

One of the most beautiful government buildings in the United States ! Go on a free tour & go up to the top of the tower, best free view of downtown Santa Barbara. Also home to many popular events .

If you want to get a 360 degree view of the city , get on the elevator adjacent to the information booth . There is also a hidden staircase behind a door next to the elevator .

Doc Searls

Take the elevator to the top, take in the views in all four directions, and then enjoy what you fine on all the floors as you walk down the stairs .

Vittorio Grieco

When you have a Court Date & they say they're open from 8-3pm. That doesn't mean you can go anytime you want. Get there @ 7:30am & say a few Hail Mary's.

Built in 1929, the courthouse used to also be the city jail. Parking along the street, or at the public parking adjacent to the library is free up to 75 minutes.
