Looking to rest and refuel during your visit? We have space for you to eat lunch onsite. With lunch included, we recommend visits lasting 3-4 hours.

Supervision
We require a 1:4 adult-to-child supervision ratio to support field trip experiences. To support a carefree Day of Play, adults assigned to each small group of children will receive a rotation schedule upon arrival to guide travel throughout the exhibits.
