Tips for Families
Remember, you don’t have to see everything in one visit. Keep your visits short and at your child’s pace. Take breaks as needed in the many spaces around the Gallery available for sitting and relaxing. Check out our brand new Creativity Lab for hands-on art-making, books, and fun games!
Talk to your children about what they see and think. Ask lots of questions to focus their investigation, and encourage them to share their ideas. Let your child lead to ensure you see things that interest and engage them. Play games like “I Spy” or “Tell Me What Happens Next.”
We are Baby-friendly
You are welcome to use your stroller or baby carrier (worn on the front) in the exhibition spaces. Public washrooms have change tables. You are welcome to breastfeed your baby in any of our seating areas.
Family Fun Days
On the last Sunday each month, we offer hands-on activities and family-friendly tours.
