The museum has made changes to enhance the safety of visitors, following recommendations for the Centers for Disease Control. Our reopening plan has been approved by the Coconino County Health and Human Services Department.
- All museum visitors will be required to wear a mask while inside the exhibits building and are encouraged to bring their own mask. Visitors who don't bring a mask will be able to purchase one at the front desk. All museum staff will be wearing masks as well.
- Visitors are also encouraged to bring their own water bottles, since the museum drinking fountains are shut down, following the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control.
- Visitors will be offered individual styluses to use when interacting with touch screens or pushing buttons that are part of the museum displays. Individual activity packets are available for children, replacing the activity tables.
- Hand-sanitzer stations have been placed at strategic locations, including in the lobby and by the kids Discovery Area.
- A one-way route has been identified to keep people moving through the museum with appropriate spacing between groups.
