About Kidzu
Kidzu Children’s Museum is a hands-on museum dedicated to inspiring young children and the adults in their lives to learn through purposeful play. We invite you to get involved with Kidzu and help us build a permanent museum that serves all children in our community and inspires learning through purposeful play!
Before You Visit
Kidzu provides a social narrative, a short story written from a child’s perspective, to help prepare you and your child for your visit to the museum. The social narrative can be downloaded and printed here before your visit or copies are available at the front desk. Thanks so much to TEACCH for their guidance in developing this and our Cool Down Kits – available to all visitors while at Kidzu. Cool Down Kits include sensory items, timers, fidget toys, noise-cancelling headphones, and visual prompts for exhibit choices. See a member of our team to check them out!
Health and Safety
- All Kidzu staff, volunteers, and interns must complete the full COVID-19 vaccine series or receive a valid medical or religious exemption. Those with exemptions are subject to daily symptom monitoring, weekly surveillance testing, and other protocols applicable to those who have not been vaccinated.
- Enhanced cleaning schedules in accordance with CDC guidelines and standards set forth by the Association of Children’s Museums
- Frequent sanitizing of common touch areas and exhibit items using EPA approved disinfectants
- 12 hand sanitizer stations throughout the exhibit areas
- All exhibit props/toys are on a rotation to ensure proper cleaning between each use
- “Tasted toys” baskets are provided near every exhibit
- PPE (gloves, masks, sanitizers) purchased for the Kidzu team. Masks/gloves available to visitors upon request
- Newly purchased electrostatic sanitizing sprayers for a quick drying, one-pass method to sanitize high-touch items and surfaces.
- Masks are optional while visiting Kidzu, but strongly encouraged to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect our most vulnerable visitors.
Exploring our Exhibits - What to Expect
- With 9 interactive, hands-on exhibits, Kidzu has something for every age! Our exhibit areas are self-paced with an open floor concept so you can guide your own experience throughout our museum.
- Designated baskets are provided for visitors to use when their young kiddos place any exhibit items in their mouths. This is all part of the learning process! Once your little one is done with an item that has been put in their mouth, toss the item into one of these “Tasted Toy Baskets” and the Kidzu team will sanitize prior to placing the items back into the exhibits.
