museums for all
Museums for All is a national initiative to encourage museum attendance
among low-income and underserved families. EBT/WIC cardholders qualify
for a reduced GRCM admission rate of $1.75 per person for up to twelve people.
This discount is available during all normal operation hours, all you need to
do is show your EBT/WIC card when purchasing admission.
sensory support
Need a little extra sensory support? We want to ensure that everyone can enjoy playing at the museum! If you find that your child needs some extra support, we have sensory tool kits available to check out at the front desk. Kits include noise reduction headphones, a weighted vest and suspenders, emotion recognition flashcards,
a Therapy Tangle, a Squigglet bracelet, a copy of the GRCM social story, and a set of three stress balls. The vest is available in sizes
XS-M, which can fit children 2-12.
museum manners
Help us ensure that all of our guests have fun! You can do your part by:
-
using inside voices
-
using walking feet
-
staying together - grown-ups and children need to stay together at all times; especially when riding the elevator and in our gift shop
-
staying in the age appropriate areas of our museum; our Wee Discovery Zone is for our littlest friends (3 and under)
*please note that if groups are not able to follow the museum manners, they may be asked to leave early.
