Visit details:
Group visits have an allotted time of 90 minutes (about 1 and a half hours) inside the museum, with an additional 60 minutes outside in our playground facilities.
General Admission and Group Visit Rules:
- Group visits have a maximum of 15 minutes before or after their scheduled time.
- We require one singular payment from the group's adult the day of. It can be a card, cash, or check. Please make sure if it is a check, it is the correct amount, as Hands-on House cannot refund partial payments.
- We don’t offer indoor eating space for lunches. Outside eating spaces are first-come, first-serve unless you have opted for the picnic tables reservation. (Outdoor space is limited during summer hours due to summer camp.)
- Children can make gift shop purchases during their visit! Please make sure children have enough funds to complete purchases including tax. Hands-on House cannot remove taxes from purchases if a child does not have enough funds.
- If you choose to have group bathroom visits, please ask a staff member for assistance, as bathroom space is limited and shared with all visitors.
- Hands-on House is not responsible for the supervision of children. Chaperones and adults are required to remain in the same space and watch over their children.
Please respect our space, toys, and staff by following the rules. No running, unsafe play (throwing toys, etc.), or excessive shouting is permitted. These rules help keep Hands-on House a safe and happy place for staff and visitors alike. Staff reserves the right to ask visitors who aren't adhering to the rules to leave.
