We recommend wearing comfortable “play clothes” and rubber-soled sneakers or shoes. Open-toe sandals, flip flops, and high heels are strongly discouraged. Children will be very active and they may have an opportunity to play with paint and other messy materials. You are encouraged to bring a change of clothes because children might get wet in our Leaping into Learning fishing area. Shoes must be worn at all times with the exception of the baby area.
The Museum contracts a cleaning company to handle the day to day cleaning of the facility. We have a porter on-site daily to handle spills and restrooms, and our evening crew cleans the Museum utilizing hospital grade cleaning agents. Our Museum Team members disinfect all the toys, pretend food, balls, sand tools, etc. utilizing EPA approved disinfectant in-between each session and as needed throughout the day.
