General Information

If you choose to rent the museum for your event (birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, family reunion, class reunion, etc.)  please keep the following in mind.

Museum Rules

1.

Do not run in the museum

Seems like common sense right? Please walk in the museum, we know there are many things to see and experience here at the museum and you want to see all of them but we promise you that you will be able to see the exhibits if you walk!

2.

Use your inside voice

While you are on the museum premises please do not scream and holler across the museum.  This is very stressful to our animal ambassadors.  The museum is their home and you are their guest please be respectful of their environment.  You are also not the only individuals in the museum please be mindful of the staff and other museum patrons.

3.

Respect our animal ambassadors

Our Exhibits are not props or toys.  Please do not tap on the tanks. The tanks are their home and tapping yelling at the tank will cause unnecessary stress on our animals.

4.

Our staff are not responsible for your children

Our museum staff are very busy providing an enjoyable experience for not only your event but also for the other museum patrons.  It is the responsibility of the group to monitor their children while they are on the museum floor.
