Visiting Tips
Look for the people in blue vests to answer your questions and provide directions. They'll help you find the Central Garden's zigzag pathway, where hundreds of types of plants await your discovery, and guide you to other fun activities for families.
Visit our Pop-Up Shop in the West Pavilion, Plaza Level, for a fresh selection of books, art and activity kits, toys, games, and other fun, educational items that capture the Museum experience for children and families—as well as the young at heart.
