Preschool Fridays
Buell Children’s Museum is opening early on Friday mornings to accommodate preschool-aged children who are generally napping during normal museum hours.
In addition to the regular hours – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Buell Children’s Museum will open its doors from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. every Friday morning, starting January 18. "Many parents expressed a need for earlier hours", according to Children’s Museum Curator Donna Stinchcomb, "so their younger children could have ample time to enjoy the hands-on fun at the museum. "
