Q: Does the Museum allow adults into the museum without a child?
A: Parents think of children's museums as "safe havens" and safeguarding our guests’ well-being is the Museum’s first responsibility.
We are happy to provide a staff escorted tour of the Museum to adult guests without children at no charge. If a staff person is unavailable to provide a tour because of high guest volume or because the Museum is short staffed, adults visiting the Museum without children can contact the Museum to schedule a tour. We are happy to schedule tours in advance. The Museum offers free tours each week on Wednesday at 1:00pm.
