This site pin provides audio description for the exhibits in the Scorpion Ranch Visitor Center.
The Visitor Center is divided into two rooms. The first exhibit room was once the dining area and now features exhibits, artifacts, video and computer interactives that describe the Chumash people native to the area, how isolation from the mainland has fostered Santa Cruz Island's unique plants, animals and ways of life and what the National Park Service is doing to protect and restore the island.
The second room was once the ranch kitchen and now features exhibits that describe what it was like to live and work, cook and eat at Scorpion Ranch. The original stove, original radio, interactive audio, exhibit drawers, artifacts and video bring the story to life. A passport stamp station is also available as you enter the room to the left.
Detailed narrated descriptions of all exhibits and signs are available through our NPS Audio Description Tours mobile app. Visitors may download the iPhone version at the App Store.
