Because Discovery Place Kids–Rockingham is a facility for children, unaccompanied adults are prohibited in the Museum. Staff will approach adults who appear to be unaccompanied by children to inquire about the purpose of their visit. Such inquiries are not meant to make adults feel unwelcome or scrutinized but to ensure that all visitors are safe.
For the safety of our guests and living residents, no outside animals are allowed in the Museum except service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Please note: Emotional support animals are not ADA-recognized service animals and are prohibited in the Museum.
Small snack items may be brought into the Museum and consumed in designated locations.
Yes, strollers are permitted in all of the Museums. However, elevator access will be limited to one family or group at a time, so we ask for your patience when using them.
Wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis at all our Museums. Visitors should request a wheelchair at Ticket Check-In. Wheelchairs are sanitized after each use.

Discovery Place reserves the right to use photos or videos taken of visitors while they are at the Museum or related events for publicity and promotional purposes.
