SUMMARY:Nearby: Family Free Day: Scaly Safari at the SLO Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:The Botanical Garden waives admission for a Scaly Safari family day\nAt El Chorro\, over the grade from Morro Bay. The San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden hosts its almost-monthly Family Free Day on Sunday\, August 9 from 10 AM to 2 PM\, and August’s theme is Scaly Safari\, a celebration of the garden’s scalier residents. Garden admission is waived for the day\, the event is all ages\, and dogs on leash are welcome\, so the garden’s own advice applies: pack a picnic and stay a while. \nThe Children’s Garden runs crafts and educational activities on the reptile theme\, and the rest of the grounds are open to wander: the main Display Garden\, the Fire Safe garden\, and the hill hike up to the Human Sundial\, where kids become the gnomon and their shadow tells the time. The retail nursery is open for business too\, stocked with the garden’s self-propagated native plants suited to the Central Coast’s Mediterranean climate\, worth a browse for anyone rethinking a yard for the dry months. \nOne practical note from the garden: El Chorro Regional Park charges a $5 vehicle entry fee at the gate even on free-admission days\, and cash speeds up the line. The garden sits on Dairy Creek Road inside the park\, about 15 minutes from Morro Bay on Highway 1 toward San Luis Obispo\, an easy Sunday run for a morning that combines a picnic\, a hike\, and something genuinely educational without anyone noticing the education part. \nPlease note: there’s a $5 fee to enter El Chorro park. Having cash will speed up park entry! \nFor more family days and Nearby Happenings along the corridor\, see what is coming up on the event calendar.

SUMMARY:In The Shadow Exhibit at Art Center Morro Bay
DESCRIPTION:In The Shadow opens the late-summer wall at Art Center Morro Bay\nIn downtown Morro Bay. Art Center Morro Bay opens In The Shadow on August 6\, a themed group exhibit running through September 14 at 835 Main Street\, the downtown gallery with the Rock mural on its wall. Admission is free\, with gallery hours from noon to 4 PM\, and the shadow theme gives the member artists a prompt with real range: literal shadow play\, mood and mystery\, the underside of bright coastal light. \nThe Art Center has anchored Morro Bay’s volunteer-run art scene since 1951\, and its themed group shows are where the member roster stretches: painters\, photographers\, ceramicists\, and mixed-media artists all answering the same prompt differently\, which makes even a short visit rewarding. Work in the shows is generally for sale\, supporting both the artists and the center’s programming. \nA reception date had not been posted at press time; the center typically holds one early in each run\, so watch their calendar. The gallery sits an easy walk from the Embarcadero\, making it a natural add to any downtown afternoon\, and the free admission means there is no reason to save it for a special trip. \nFor receptions\, new exhibits\, and more art around the bay\, see what is coming up on the event calendar. \nImage: Emily Smith-Lundy
