What To Wear

Two words—be comfortable. The Museum is largely outdoors, so dress warmly in the winter and be cool in the summer. Also, be sure to wear shoes suited to exploring our 52 acres, and check out the Tree-To-Tree Adventures FAQs if you plan on taking to the trees.

Photography & Video

Take all the photos and videos you like, but if you plan to use the photography for commercial purposes, please notify the staff upon entering in order to complete our permit process and fees.
