Best time
Arrive early and call ahead to confirm hours, as the museum has limited operating days (Wednesday 10am-4pm, Friday 12pm-7pm, Saturday 10am-5pm). This helps you plan your visit and avoid disappointment.
Visitor tip
Babies under 18 months have limited activities (only a small soft play area), so the museum works best for toddlers 18+ months and older. Bring a sibling or plan shorter visits if you have a very young baby.
