Safety Guidelines

COVID protocols
In response to the declining Covid-19 rates and hospitalizations, masks wearing will no longer be required to enter the museum. Wearing a mask will be a personal choice and some staff and volunteers may still choose to wear one.

• Enhanced cleaning: New cleaning protocols include frequent disinfecting of all high-touch surfaces before, during, and after your visit.
• Access to cleaning supplies: An increased number of hand sanitizing dispensers and added Sanitation Stations for personal cleaning in the exhibit areas.

If you are not feeling well, please stay home. We will gladly exchange your ticket for a day when you feel better!

  Museums For All
  Through the Museums for All program we’re partnering with museums across the country to make sure everyone can experience the best museums have to offer, all for the lowest and most-affordable prices ever. Here at the Children's Museum, if you have a State of California issued EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card, simply show it when you arrive to receive our lowest-priced admission of $3 per person ages 2 and over. Please note that admission includes EBT cardholder and immediate family only (parent(s) & their children; grandparent(s) and their grandchildren). COVID-issued EBT cards do not qualify for the Museums for All program reduced admission. To find other participating museums, visit: Museums4All.org.
