Bucks County Children’s Museum Again Welcomes Lots of Tots

 Hooray for play! The Bucks County Children’s Museum is opening again on May 1, emerging from its pandemic closure of more than a year, writes Doug Gross for the New Hope-Lambertville Patch. 

Staff has rethought some exhibits and revised policies, but in general, the site is ready for pint-sized patrons and their parents. 

“We want to approach reopening in a safe and responsible manner,” said museum Executive Director Kelly Krumenacker. “Some exhibits have been modified, and we have added several new high-interest, low-touch activities that we are eager to debut.” 

During its closure, staff examined the 10,000-square-foot museum with an eye toward adherence to state-mandated health and safety standards. Employees also incorporated recommendations from the Association of Children’s Museums, a worldwide organization established in 1962. 

Among its many healthful upgrades, the site now sports a hospital-grade purification system. 

Most visitation policies regarding ticket purchases, capacities, masks and birthday parties are revised.
