Tips & Advice
- Keep children close the whole time, because museum rules require supervision and kids can't climb on machinery outside the designated playground area.
- Keep dogs on a leash no longer than six feet and bring waste bags, since owners must clean up after their pets.
- Dress warmly for a December outing, because you'll be outdoors on the lit pathways and wagon rides around the museum grounds.
