Visitor tip
The museum is excellent for children ages 2-10 with dedicated spaces for infants and toddlers (under 3). The layout is thoughtfully designed with two full floors, so allow 2-3 hours minimum to explore all exhibits without feeling rushed.
Best time
Attend Toddler Tinker Time daily at 10:30am for structured programming included with admission, or visit on weekdays outside school vacation periods to avoid crowds. The museum gets very busy during school breaks.
