Hi everyone,

What policies do you have in place for visitors in terms of appropriate clothing/footwear at your Science Centre/museum? Has you had any interesting experiences with your visitors?

We recently had a case where a boy (age 4-5yrs old) was observed by a staff member without a shirt on in an exhibit area. The staff member checked with the mother if they had brought a tshirt and she subsequently redressed her child.

(N.B. Our current 'Conditions of Entry' state ONLY state that footwear must be worn.)

Thanks!
