MANSFIELD, OH - Little Buckeye Children’s Museum will be reopening its doors to members on Thursday, October 8th. The museum has been closed to the public since March 13th of this year.    

Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, Little Buckeye Children's Museum has been committed to reopening at an appropriate time and in a manner that ensures the safety of their team members and their guests. 

Little Buckeye has developed a detailed and comprehensive Reopening Plan that ensures a safe and healthy environment for all who attend. The plan is closely aligned with the reopening protocols set forth by Ohio Governor DeWine's Responsible Restart Ohio Guidelines.

The Museum will initially reopen to members only and will work towards an opening to the general public at limited capacity. 

To manage capacity, admission will require a timed reservation. Visitors will be able to reserve their admission online starting Monday, September 28th. Museum members will continue to enjoy free admission but must reserve admission in advance online.

Visitors to the museum will notice various changes put in place to help provide a safe and fun experience for all visitors. 

“The health and safety of our guests and team members remain our top priority and we thank you for helping us with these efforts,” says Fred Boll, Little Buckeye Children’s Museum Executive Director. 

Some of these changes include:

  • Admission will require a timed reservation made online in advance
  • Some exhibits have been modified and some will remain closed
  • Cleaning protocols have been further enhanced
  • All staff and visitors will have their temperatures checked upon entry
  • Face coverings are now considered a required part of all staff uniforms
  • Visitors ages 5+ are required to wear face coverings that cover the nose and mouth
  • Signage throughout the museum and on the floor will promote physical distancing
