Guidelines for Groups Welcome to the Children's Museum. Our diverse collection of hands-on exhibits and educational programs is an invaluable resource for groups in the Central New York area and our more than 150,000 visitors a year. Enjoy your visit! If you group includes childen, our guidelines are one (1) responsible adult chaperone for every six (6) students to make the most of your educational experience. This adult/student ratio is particularly important on the upper floors. A Before-You-Visit Review Suggestion - The Children's Museum is different from a Park or Zoo. A partial list of rules for appropriate behavior and conduct may emerge from a discussion with groups and children's experience and understanding of all that the Children's Museum has to offer. You can then review our museum rules and guidelines. Traveling by Bus - Buses should drop off groups or students at our front entrance on Main Street, by the Museum Entrance sign. After disembarking, buses may park further down Main Street or in the Parking Lot across from the Museum. Signs for Children's Museum parking are fully visible. General - Running is not permitted anywhere in the Children's Museum. Portable radios, cassette, or disc players that are audible to other visitors in the Museum are not permitted. Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times while in the Museum, except for the under 5 children while they are in PlaySpace. For everyone's safety, do not pet or taunt animals in our Living Science Area. Gift Shop - Our CM Gift Shop is open daily with items priced from 50 cents to $19. and many at only $2. or $3. Among the gifts are NASA related items, our Children's Museum mug and decorative ornament.
