We at the Children’s Museum are currently taking several measures to ensure the health and safety of our visitors:

  • We have increased efforts to thoroughly sanitize the interior of the museum on a periodic basis throughout the day and deep clean every evening.

  • We are having visitors sanitize their hands before entering the museum floor to help prevent the spread of germs, and we provide sanitizing stations in our lobby. 

  • We are currently monitoring updates from the CDC, World Health Organization, and county and city leader recommendations.

  • This is an evolving situation and the museum may alter its plan of action moving forward.

Cancellations and changes to visits:

Due to the current circumstances, the museum is waiving fees for cancelations of birthday parties and field trips. Please contact Lucy Villanueva if you need to make a change. She can be reached via email at lucy@cmofbrownsville.com.
