-We will have access to a classroom space upstairs, if any adults or kids need a place to take a sensory break from the noise.

-Parking will be free and available in the Children’s Museum parking lot for the length of the event. Street parking is also free on weekends.

-In terms of museum cleaning procedures, the typical, throughout the day, surface cleaning and bathroom cleaning procedures will have been done prior to the event. Deep cleaning happens after everyone leaves (after our event would be done), as the chemicals involved are not child safe when freshly applied.
