We want you to be comfortable and enjoy the space when you are here, we allow outside food and drinks that are NON- Alcoholic. Please be mindful when snacking in the museum, if you have stuff on your hands please wash them before touching items in the space, we ask that if you are eating or feeding a child you use the tables upstairs to avoid stains on our couches. If you make a mess that's ok just let us know so we can assist in the cleanup. Pets are allowed as long as they are properly socialized and good with other animals, since this space is an animal sanctuary and must also be safe for service animals.
