Visiting the children’s museum to check on things with the locked down mall.

The mall is on lock down, but we stopped in the museum today to grab the box of n95 masks we keep around for all the sawing and sanding we do to create exhibits. These are on their way to a local hospital to help protect our healthcare workers!

Unfortunately, due to a countywide mandate, the Santa Cruz Children's Museum of Discovery will remain closed to the public as well as all parties through Tuesday, April 7. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to our loving patrons and community, and hope that everyone can remain happy and healthy.
