Families looking for a new place to play can sign up now for a two-hour block of “recess” at Gilbert House Children’s Museum.

After a year-long closure, the museum is reopening its newly renovated outdoor areas by appointment. Appointments beginning March 30 will allow visitors to experience Bill’s Bubble House, a new exhibit in front of the museum’s main house, as well as the new play structures on the museum’s south side.

Admission is $5 per person for members or $7 per person for non-members. Masks are required for visitors age 5 and older.

Slots for March 30 are sold out, but space remains for sessions on March 31 and April 1, 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. To sign up or get more information, visit the Gilbert House website.
