Best time
Visit on Free First Fridays from 2:00-5:00 PM to save on admission, but arrive early as crowds can make it difficult to access popular exhibits. Consider weekday visits if you prefer smaller crowds and better access to hands-on activities.
Visitor tip
Bring extra clothes and swimwear year-round, especially for summer visits. The water creek and pond are major attractions, and kids will get wet. Pack a change of clothes to stay comfortable throughout your visit.
Visitor tip
The Early Childhood Learning Center is specifically designed for babies and toddlers with sensory and developmental activities, while older children (3+) will enjoy more of the outdoor exhibits like the bike/tricycle area and water creek. Visit both areas to maximize learning and play.
