While children under two are always welcome at the museum (under 1 for FREE!) and will find many wonderful things to do in our exhibits, please be aware that we offer the following spaces and programs with the specific needs of our youngest visitors in mind.

V.I.B Hour! (Very Important Babies)
Each Wednesday morning at 9 am, the Zimmer opens its doors exclusively to the under 2 crowd!

Tiny tykes and their caregivers can enjoy the museum in a more relaxed setting giving both kids and adults more room to breathe (and crawl and climb). Looking for more guided exploration time? Check out our VIB classes offered during this time. Click HERE for more info and to register.

As this hour’s intention is to create a safe, comfortable play space for our youngest visitors, we ask families with older siblings to instead join for regular museum hours at 10am.

General admission rates apply.

V.I.B Lounge
To provide a fun, safe refuge for our rolling, crawling and toddling visitors, this brightly colored nook is filled with soft toys, mirrors and plenty of activity mats so that tiny tots can explore in their own way away from the traffic of older kids.
