After two months of careful planning, The Houston Museum of Science is ready to reopen! They’re open at a reduced capacity, with measures to keep guests and staff safe. Staff will be monitoring and limiting visitors to each gallery space. Interactive exhibits will remain closed, and all museum guests must wear masks. The staff will all wear masks and gloves, with temperature checks before entering. These are only a few of the safety measures in place to create a museum space that’s both fun and safe. Please see the Museum website for a full description of the safety plan.
