Masks Required Private Event at Olympia Hands On Children's Museum
2025-06-22 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Hands On Children’s Museum, 414 Jefferson St NE, Olympia, WA, 98501
This event will be from 6-8 PM on Sunday, June 22nd at the Olympia Hands On Children’s Museum. We will have exclusive use of the museum as well as their outdoor space. The outdoor space is substantial and includes enough activities to keep many kids busy for the whole 2 hours. Masks will be required for all attendees OVER 2 years of age, including in the outdoor space. Masks must be KF94/KN95 or better. Given that this is a museum made for children as young as toddlers, we will welcome unmasked children aged 2 and under indoors to enjoy the museum.
We are asking all present museum staff to mask while we are there and respirator style masks will be provided to them by me, Elizabeth, the event host. I have been told by the coordinator that 2-3 staff will be present for the event, that typically staff are happy to mask, but staff are NOT able to be required to comply. I have inquired about the cleaning procedures prior to the event and I have been told that only 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.

The museum has a high quality HVAC system that should keep the museum quite well ventilated during the event. The museum is ADA accessible and parking will be free in the museum parking lot during the event. Street parking near the museum will also be free on weekends. If you would be attending only to enjoy the outdoor space, please note that you will need to enter the museum, sign in, and then walk through to the outdoor space. Feel free to visit hocm.org to view the museum and get a sense of the space and the activities available.

Adults are welcome to come to this event without children. If you do not have children and want to come socialize with other masking adults, feel free to attend.

Tickets are $6 per person. Each person attending the event must have a ticket, regardless of age. The event will be capped at 150 attendees and the cost for the event is $625 for 100-150 people. Funds from the $6 tickets will be used to subsidize the no-cost tickets for attendees where cost is a barrier to attendance. Any additional funds I may receive above the cost of the event will be donated to the Olympia MaskBloc and Clean Air Oly. If cost is a barrier, please do not hesitate to purchase a no-cost ticket.

Again the details for the event are:

-Tickets are $6 per person and there are no cost tickets available for people where cost is a barrier
-KF94/KN95 masks or better are required for attendees OVER 2 years of age, including in the outdoor space
-Children aged 2 years or under are welcome to attend, even though they are not able to mask or may not yet be able to mask
-We will ask staff members to mask, and they probably will, but they cannot be compelled to comply
-We will have use of the extensive outdoor space belonging to the museum

Tickets are non-refundable.

Concert at the Wright Park Conservatory July 18th
2026-07-18 19:00 - 22:00 | W.W. Seymour Conservatory, 316 S G St, 98405, Tacoma, WA, 98405, United States
A high quality mask required (and provided) show July 18th, 7pm at the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory in Wright Park.
Free admission with a suggested donation of $10 at the door. This money will be split between The Conservatory, Mask Bloc 253, and the performers.

The Performers:
– aluna
– ember, ager, cloudbreak
– The Playgrounders

Venue
The show will be outside (weather permitting) with potentially limited seating depending on attendance. Everyone is recommended to bring their own seating if they so choose.
If the show must be inside, the conservatory has limited space. For this reason, we are limiting pre-show registration to 40 people. This doesn’t mean you can’t come if it’s full. If the show is outside many more people can attend comfortably. If the show is inside, extra attendees will just likely have to stand.

Venue Access Info:
https://www.parkstacoma.gov/place/w-w-seymour-conservatory/ (scroll to bottom for accessibility)

Access info (adapted from the conservatory website for this event!):
Airborne illness mitigation: high-filtration, well-fitting masks required and provided! If you need to take your mask down for any reason, please move away from the performance area/other people. If the show is inside air purifiers will be running.

Parking: There are no designated parking stalls on site. There is a paved roundabout for parking and passenger drop off. The route to entry is firm and level. There is one accessible parking spot in the roundabout, and usually some free street parking available on the streets bordering Wright Park.

Public transit: Bus line 1 has a stop at 6th ave and G st, which is about 0.2 miles from the conservatory and a relatively flat route. The Stadium District light rail station is about 0.3 miles from the conservatory, with some incline along the route.

Entrance: The Outdoor Entrance is just beside the conservatory through a wide gate. The Main Indoor Entrance is the accessible entrance. External doors are not automated, so there will be someone at the door to let people in (and to help you get set up with a well-fitting mask if you need one!)

Indoor pathways: There is a 36″ + wide accessible route through the floral displays and a turnaround at each end of the walk through the exhibit, however there is limited passing space on the walk. Given that the WW Seymour Botanical Conservatory displays live plant life, some incidental greenery may extend into the accessible route.

Assistance: Most information and exhibit signage are within the 15-48″ reach range.

Restrooms: Restrooms: There are 2 gender neutral, single-stall restrooms, which were built to comply with ADA standards for access, though the doors are not automated.

Seating: There are approximately 40 plastic folding chairs. They are relativley sturdy. It is suggested to bring own seating, or even a blanket if you would like to be on the ground.

Sensory Experience: Persons with plant allergies or sensitivity should review the seasonal display list and/or call ahead to inquire about specific plants on display when making a determination to attend.

Sounds: The music will be amplified, but none of the bands are using drums so we will be making an attempt to keep the audio quiet enough to not NEED ear plugs. Inside is a constant whirring of fans, and an interior water fountain

Smells: some flowers may have a particularly strong scent

Touch: many plants can be delicately touched; sensitive plant species & any species known to be an irritant are kept off the pathway

Lights: While there is ample shade outside, some pockets of the performing area may be shaded, unshaded, and reshaded as the night goes on. Insided, the conservatory is all glass, and so the light inside is basically the same as light outside!
