Helpful hints
The Please Touch Museum tends to be busier on rainy days. You may want to schedule your visit on fair weather days. Mornings are also a busy time with most school groups visiting during this time. Afternoons are a great time to visit the museum as well as Mondays when groups are not scheduled.
To ensure that your family or group have an enjoyable visit, we suggest you take a few minutes to read our general information.
