The following COVID-19 Guidelines are currently in effect at the Children’s Museum:

• The use of non-medical face masks is optional, but encouraged and appreciated.

• Physical distancing is encouraged. Please maintain two meters (6 feet) of physical distance between other individuals and/or groups.

• Guests are encouraged to sanitize hands upon entry to facility. Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance/exit and in other areas for guest use.

• Observe provincially-recommended hygiene practices for handwashing, hand sanitizing, and coughing/sneezing.

• Personal protective equipment and other protective measures may be in use by staff and volunteers, including: physical barriers, non-medical face masks, gloves, face shields, and other items.

• Facility is subject to enhanced sanitization frequency and measures. Some galleries may be closed periodically for 15-to-30 minute intervals to allow for enhanced cleaning.

• Cashless or no-contact payment should be used to the greatest extent possible.

• Admission is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission is valid all day – however, visitors wishing to re-enter the museum may need to wait in line if the maximum capacity has been reached.

• The Lunch Box eating area cannot be reserved and is available on a first-come, first-served basis only. While snacks and beverages are still be available for purchase in Shop, we encourage you to consider eating outside or elsewhere onsite at The Forks to allow more time and space for your group to enjoy your items.

• We have resumed the collection of recycled donations for our Pop m’Art gallery.

• We ask for your patience and that you and your group respect all wait times accordingly. We reserve the right to deny admission or exclude from the premises any individual(s) whose behaviours negatively impact the museum, its guests, volunteers, or staff.
