  • Treat all guests, performers, and staff with respect.
  • Follow all instructions from museum staff and posted signage.
  • Disruptive behavior, including running, loud talking, or interference with installations, is not permitted.
  • Touch, climbing, tampering, or removal of exhibit elements is prohibited unless explicitly instructed.
  • Children must remain under the direct supervision of an adult at all times.
  • Weapons, hazardous items, smoking, vaping, e-cigarettes, and outside food or beverage are not permitted anywhere inside the museum.
  • Flash photography is not allowed. Video recording may be restricted in certain areas.
  • Visitors with epilepsy, sensory processing disorders, claustrophobia, vertigo or mobility or physical limitations should proceed with caution in immersive or low-light environments.
  • Guests are required to wear appropriate footwear, as some installations may include uneven surfaces, steps or low lighting.
  • Certain areas of the experience include mirrored or reflective floors. Guests wearing skirts or dresses should proceed with caution.
