Due to changes in the recommendation for limiting the spread of COVID-19 the following procedures are currently in place at C'mon:
- Use of Facial Coverings: The CDC recommends that fully vaccinated people resume indoor activities without wearing masks. As such, facial coverings will be optional for vaccinated customers and staff beginning Wednesday, May 26, 2021.
- C’mon Camps: Participants will continue to be required to wear face coverings while in the classroom or enclosed area where maintaining 3-feet of distance is not possible per CDC guidelines as it pertains to Summer Camps. C’mon will continue to monitor local and national health authorities’ guidance and local school policy concerning mandatory facial coverings.
- Enhanced cleaning measures: C’mon continues to observe elevated cleaning and sanitizing protocols that meet or exceed public health guidelines and help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Additionally, we have installed plexiglass POS shields to protect staff and guests better.
- C’mon will provide sanitation wipes and hand sanitizer at various locations within the Museum for visitor use.
There are many new activities every day. Check out our online calendar to see what we are highlighting today. Plus, don’t forget we have exciting permanent exhibits and a traveling exhibit space, which is constantly changing.
C’mon is for the young and young at heart, but specifically, we target children from birth to age 14 and their families. Each of our exhibits, experiences and programs have been designed to engage a broad range of children’s ages and interests. Our Curious Kids exhibit is limited to children eight years and older with no adults allowed. Our ABC Tot Lot exhibit is limited to children three years and younger with their caretaker allowed.
There is no exact answer to this question. It all depends on your child’s age and interests. First time visitors can spend up to four hours while out-of-town guests make visit several days in a row. We are a one-stop for family fun!
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Any unaccompanied child will be escorted to the Welcome Center to remain there until a parent or caretaker is located. The child will not be allowed to leave the Museum until a parent or guardian picks up the child.
Arrive early to avoid crowds. Mornings are an excellent time for infant/toddler group play and for parents to socialize with other parents within the exhibits. During the school year, a visit after 1:30pm avoids school field trip groups. Our busiest times tend to happen during the weekend.
We ask that visitors do not bring food into the Museum. You may choose from a healthy and varied selection of snacks in our Museum Store. We also ask visitors to not eat in the exhibit galleries. There are tables available outside the front of the building.
