A family-focused rainy-day option with room for play, rather than a quiet look-but-don’t-touch gallery visit.
The plan
An indoor, hands-on museum designed around children and their accompanying adults, especially useful when heat or rain makes outdoor plans difficult. The venue recommends allowing two to four hours for exhibits and activities. Adults must be accompanied by children, and children by adults: it is not an adults-only museum stop. The site lists sensory bags, wheelchair access and sensory-sensitive accommodations alongside its accessibility programs.
What to expect

Build your visit
Choose a manageable route rather than trying to see every room. Start with the exhibition that interests you most, then leave some time for an unhurried second look. Check the museum’s own page for temporary gallery closures, special programming and any admission conditions before making a dedicated trip.
Before you go
Onsite parking is $2 an hour. Thanksgiving and Christmas are closed, with shorter hours on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
