Chaperones
Due to the hands-on, lab-focus of the museum, we require a minimum of one adult chaperone for every 10 children/youth to have the best experience. Chaperones are responsible for the behavior and safety of their group at all times.

Admission may be paid upon arrival. Groups under 10 will not be eligible for the group discount.

Upon arrival, please send one person to the front desk to check your group in. A staff person will go to your group and provide a brief introduction to the Cade Museum. All members of the group will receive a stamp for their admission.
Parking
The Cade Museum parking lot on South Main Street has two spaces for buses. These will be designated to the first two groups who have a confirmed reservation.
