Inclusivity Resources

The St. George Children’s Museum is a place where all children can come to discover, imagine, and create. Every child is unique which means we strive to learn how we can provide financial, physical, emotional, and intellectual access to families in a safe and welcoming way. We are continually learning and working with the St. George community to support this mission. If you have any questions, please call us at 435-986-4000 or email us at info@sgchildrensmusuem.

Policies

Service Animals

SGCM abides ADA and state laws regarding service animals. Service animals are always welcome at the Museum. We do not allow emotional support animals or pets inside the Museum. 

Therapists and Caregivers

A therapist or a caregiver receive complimentary admission when accompanying a paying patron who requires medical or physical assistance during their visit to the Museum. Please call or email us before your visit to reserve your ticket. This does not include nannies and babysitters.

Food/Drink

Outside food and drinks are prohibited in the Museum with the exception of water. We encourage guests to enjoy their food and drinks outside our Museum before visiting. Please alert a staff member if an exception needs to be made and an accommodating space will be provided. 

Strollers

Strollers are allowed to be used during your visit to the Museum. When possible, we encourage guests to not bring their strollers inside the Museum due to limited space.

Sensory Friendly Mondays

We are excited to announce Sensory Friendly Mondays. On the last Monday of the month, we are inviting families in our community to come explore the Museum in a sensory modified environment with limited admission! These events are exclusively for families who have a family member with sensory processing differences. The event runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Admission is FREE with required RSVP. Click here to register. 

Paws For Tales

Our monthly program with the Intermountain Therapy Animals R.E.A.D. allows kids the opportunity to read to dogs. The dogs act as literacy mentors to help the kids work on their literacy skills. This program runs on the fourth Monday of every month from 4-5 p.m.
