Sanitation and Cleaning Procedures:

How will the space be sanitized?

The museum and all exhibits and toys are cleaned and disinfected daily using this non-toxic spray shown to kill the COVID-19 virus. The disinfectant is applied with an electrostatic sprayer that ensures it clings to all surfaces, and given ample time to dry/evaporate. 

Will staff be cleaning items once kids are finished playing with them?

Staff will clean high-touch surfaces throughout the day. In addition, we have “Yuck Tubs” throughout the building; these are a safe place to put toys that have been played with.
