our rules

• Stay together so you can play together.

• Food and drinks ONLY IN THE SNACK AREAS.

We want everyone to have a safe visit! What’s fun and appropriate for one child might be too risky for another, so please use your judgment when deciding which activities are right for your child.  Most of Kidcity’s visitors are under age 5 and this is an early childhood space, so please help your bigger kids put the needs of little ones first. Note that Kidcity is not a playground or padded playspace.  Although there are a few low-key sliding and crawling activities, it is intended for pretend play, with supervision from the accompanying adult.

About Strollers

Because of limited space within our exhibits, Kidcity does not allow strollers beyond the coatroom, where we have stroller parking.  We apologize if this makes a visit to the museum more difficult - unfortunately, it’s a choice we had to make for safety’s sake. If you have a special need, please let us know so that we can accommodate you!

The Toddler Sea Caves

(age 2 & younger)

The Toddler Sea Caves exhibit is on our basement level, and that floor is restricted to age 2 and younger, so crawlers and early walkers have a place of their own.  If you have both younger and older kids, plan to skip that floor or bring a second grown-up so that you can split up. If you have to miss the Sea Caves, please know that your toddlers will find age-appropriate activities in all the other parts of the museum. The Sea Caves is the only area of the museum where we ask all visitors (adults and children) to take off their shoes, and we do provide clean socks if you don’t have your own!
