Important COVID-19 Update:
Under Marion County Order and in collaboration with an advisory council of scientists, physicians, and public health officials, the museum will continue to require face masks for all UNVACCINATED visitors 2 years and older. We will allow for medical exceptions for children. Face coverings must cover the nose and mouth at all times.
Masks are NOT required outdoors, including in the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience®.
We are reopening many of our hands-on interactives throughout the month of June. Given new research and recommendations by the CDC, we are confident we can do this safely. You can find the schedule here.
Rex can’t wait to see you!
We have missed your sparkling eyes, the sound of giggles, and the opportunity to safely share family learning in person. When you’re ready, we’ll be here. You can feel safe while having fun! Advance tickets are encouraged.
