CONDUCT

Please do not touch the displays! Your fingers have oils that will cause our specimens to deteriorate, and they can't heal like you can! Help preserve their longevity by learning with your eyes and not your hands.

To curb that desire to touch, we do have a Fur Table and Tactile Boxes with furs and objects you are more than welcome to feel!

 

TOURS/SCHEDULING

You do not need to schedule ahead unless you wish to have a guided tour or your group is larger than 10 people. Scheduling ahead for large guided tours allows us to adequately prepare, avoids scheduling conflicts, and ensures you have the time and space you need for your desired learning experience.
