Tips for a Successful Museum Visit

 

 

 

Let your child be your guide

Play with your child, as well as observe your child.

  • Ask open-minded questions like "What do you like most about the Grocery Store?" or "Why do you like that the best?"
  • The staff and directors have planned exhibits with activities to encourage parent and child interaction. It's time for parents to learn to play again!

Make a safety a Priority

Your child is your responsibility while you are at the museum.

  • Don't let your child run or climb on exhibits
  • Adults and children should always be together.
  • If you notice any tripping hazards, like costumes or exhibit items on the floor- please assist staff by picking them up.

Take Care of Your Museum

You are your child's first teacher-and they model what you do.

  • Clean up exhibit areas when you are finished playing.
  • Hang up costumes and smocks, put groceries back in bins, tidy up the art alley before you leave- try to leave things better than the way you found them.
  • Do not take food or drink in exhibit areas.
