Inquiring about a visit:
Inquiries must be made at least 2 weeks in advance of your desired visit date
Group Visits are now requested through an inquiry form via our registration website
NOTE: AN INQUIRY IS NOT A RESERVATION. The date you have requested will be temporarily reserved for you until a staff member reaches out via email or phone call to confirm your details.
Depending on the size of your group, you may be asked to make a deposit between $50-100 based on your group size. Deposit amounts will be deducted from your day-of admission payment.
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.
