Signage encourages hand washing and other safe behavior.Fresh air is circulated in the building frequently each day.Staff will disinfect surfaces, exhibits and “high touch” areas, like door handles and elevator buttons. Loose toys and manipulatives, such as play food and balls, will be rotated out with new sanitized sets each day. You’ll see our staff cleaning with disinfectant throughout your visit and deeper cleaning will occur at the end of the day. We’re adhering to guidelines from our local health department, the CDC, and the Association of Children's Museums to ensure we are following the highest standards. Our robust cleaning practices continue to be stringent! We have meticulously planned and implemented cleaning and safety procedures throughout our museum that protect the health and well-being of our guests and staff.Staff are required to wash hands/use hand sanitizer frequently to ensure safe interaction with guests and coworkers.Guests are encouraged to sanitize hands prior to entry.I think smaller kids would enjoy it more. We did like the rooftop activities, but again, there wasn't a lot to do. So it just wasn't what we were expecting. Our museum close to us is MUCH larger and kids are half the price as adults. We thought it was a bit much to ask the same price for adults and kids. With the discount for showing our TN Aquarium tickets, it was still $30 for the 3 of us. We were a little disappointed and probably would not return. We saw lots of parents that had obviously brought their kids to play so they could sit on their phones/ipads and relax. We went through it and let her play/explore quite a bit and still were only there an hour. it was a little busy, but for her age, I didn't feel there was much to do. We arrived around 2 and it closes at 5 so we thought we'd spend the 3 hours there. I had not read much about it, but we have a Childrens museum about an hour from our house that we love and enjoy so we thought she would enjoy this. We decided due to the unseasonable cold temps, we would take our daughter (6) to this museum. But, if you choose to judge it on its own merits and truly explore all that is there you will be pleased you spent your afternoon there. If you are expecting one the size of Boston's you will be disappointed because it will only take about 1 or 2 hours to make your way through this museum. However this is the sort of critique that would apply to many children’s museums and simply an additional reason to bring more than one grownup along to play! Seeing other recent reviews I should add we have been to other children's museums and this is by far the smallest we have seen. As it is now, parents need to keep an eye on two distinct exits that cannot be viewed from the same vantage point. If I had one thing I would change about the museum it would be to add a gate of some sort at the entrance of the water play area from the lobby to assist the parents in keeping ‘tabs’ on their kids. The smells from the café downstairs are always enticing. such as a bridge, bell, and other tricks. The Little Yellow House is available for children 4 and under and has a play kitchen and car inside of it along with other age appropriate toys. The kit includes a 28-page story and six hands-on projects all about self-discovery and self-love. Other favorites include an area dedicated to music, a dinosaur dig and a doctor's office. They have a craft corner as well as a well stocked art area. The restrooms are always clean and so is the rest of the museum. They have standard exhibits on the first level with most of the second level space dedicated to whatever is the 'touring' exhibit (dinosaurs, discussing special educational needs etc.). This is one of my children's favorite places to go on a Saturday.
