Museum of the Rockies welcomes back museum members to Explore Yellowstone: Martin Children’s Discovery Center for special visitation times with limited capacities. Pre-registration is required and registration opens on March 1 at 9 a.m.

Register for an hour in Explore Yellowstone!

Each session has a capacity of 10 children between birth and ten-years-old and their adults. Children must be supervised by their caregiver. Capacity will not exceed 24 people, including parents and caregivers. As a result of this capacity, only one caregiver is guaranteed per child. If you would like to bring more than one adult per child, please contact us in advance at programs@montana.edu. We will do our best to accommodate your request.

During this first phase of reopening, participants will go through symptom screening before entering the Center. Each child will receive their own set of interactive toys upon check-in. The entire center and all interactives will be sanitized in between visitation sessions.

Along with the rest of Museum of the Rockies, all guests are required to bring and wear a face mask or face covering that covers your nose and mouth at all times. Children under the age of five (5) and those who cannot physically remove a face covering without assistance, or those who have requested and received a necessary accommodation are not required to wear a face covering. However, all children between the ages of two and four are strongly encouraged to wear a face covering.

We kindly ask our members to limit their visitations to once per week. If your families cannot make your visit, please contact our education team as soon as possible so we can open registration to other families. There will not be a waitlist for this program. Please continue to visit our registration webpage for registration availability.

Throughout the month of March, MOR will be evaluating this first phase of reopening for future Martin Children’s Discovery Center operations. We will post future visitation dates and times on our website calendar as soon as they are available.
