• 🕐Plan to visit on a weekday when the museum is less crowded and staff is more readily available. Weekend visits have reported issues with unattended areas and unclear instructions for accessing exhibits.
• 💬Arrive early in your visit to verify that exhibits and interactive stations are operational, as some visitors have noted missing toys and non-functional exhibits. Ask staff immediately if something seems broken.
