If the lots nearest the Museum are full, we suggest parking at the Waterfront, by following the road through our main parking lot.

Additional parking can also be found by turning right when exiting the parking lot, and driving up East Road to a dirt lot on the left, or the Bay Trail parking further up the road to the right. Please be advised that there is no sidewalk along East Road.

Museum Policies

We are committed to providing a safe and respectful place for children, as well as our staff, volunteers and other visitors. We support the development of positive values in young children: caring, equality and social justice, integrity, honesty, and responsibility.

• Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• For safety reasons, please do not ride bicycles, tricycles, skates, rollerblades, scooters, or skate boards/shoes while visiting the Museum.
• No smoking is allowed at the Museum.
• For safety reasons, strollers are not allowed in most buildings. Look for posted signage.
• Alcohol is prohibited at the Museum.
• Please leave pets at home. Unattended animals are not allowed in cars or leashed outside the Museum, and only service animals are permitted on site.
• Profanity is prohibited, as well as all other abusive behavior.

"I would like children to leave the museum with the experience of having been really involved in the process of creating, so that they'Â’re excited to go home and have that experience again later."
