Short answer
Start with the Moody Family Children's Museum, bring the stroller, and come after 2 pm on school days if you want fewer school groups. Children under 13 must stay with an adult.
In detail
A few things the museum's own pages say that make a family visit easier.
Head for the children's museum.
The Moody Family Children's Museum has interactive exhibits, a toddler area and an outdoor play space.
Bring the stroller.
Strollers, wagons and stroller-wagons are allowed.
Avoid the school rush.
School groups are heaviest before 2 pm, mostly Wednesday to Friday in the school year, and most of all from March through May.
Plan the food.
The Café is open 11 am to 4 pm. Outside food is fine on the Plaza or in the Lobby before you enter. Inside, only resealable bottled water is allowed.
Know where to nurse.
There is a private room near the Paleo Lab on Level 4 and a space inside the children's museum on the lower level. Nursing is welcome in any public area too.
Tip. There is no coat check or storage, so travel light.
Call the museum if
- You need a quiet space or a sensory bag
- You are bringing a large group
