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. Only WGCU Curious Kids, is limited to children 8 years and older — adults, KEEP OUT! And the ABC Toddler Lot is one of three toddler exhibits that are limited to children younger than 3 years of age and their caretakers.
There is no exact answer to this question. It all depends on your child’s age and interests. First-time visitors spend closer to four hours. Out-of-town guests make us a destination and visit us for at least two days. We are a one-stop for family fun: play, eat and shop here!
We ask that all children are 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 someone 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 1:30 p.m. avoids school tours. Our busiest times happen during the weekend.
