Safer Play Policy

The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority. We have implemented additional protocols to our already rigorous cleaning schedule and ask that visitors respect these modifications in the interest of Safer Play for all!

• Masks are strongly recommended for visitors ages 2 years and up, but no longer required.
• Some installations may have posted capacity limitations and visitors must wait their turn if an installation is at capacity.
• There are hand sanitizer and hand washing stations for visitor and staff use throughout our spaces. We also encourage visitors to bring their own hand sanitizer.
• We ask all of our guests to use hand sanitizer or wash their hands before entering an installation space and when exiting an installation space.
• Even with these measures in place, we want to remind all guests that COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus largely transmitted through respiratory droplets. There is always a chance of contracting COVID-19 or any contagious disease when choosing to visit any public location.
• Please stay home if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms. We are more than happy to exchange admission tickets for another day if you or anyone in your party is sick.
  • a temperature over 100.1
  • body aches or chills
  • a persistent cough or sore throat
  • loss of taste or smell
  • flu-like stomach issues such as diarrhea or vomiting

• The Museum’s cleaning products are CDC-recommended for COVID-19 disinfection.
• There are bins labeled CLEAN and DIRTY for art tools such as paint brushes, markers, scissors, etc., which will be cleaned and replenished regularly.
• Our staff will continually monitor and disinfect high-touch spaces. Disinfecting products such as sanitizing wipes will also be available for visitor use.
