Tours & Group Visits

ATTENTION: The Charles and Linda Williams Children's Museum is closed on Mondays for regular cleaning and maintenance. This area of the Museum is one of our most popular and demands more attention to keep up with current levels of engagement. Closing on Mondays will allow our team to maintain proper cleaning practices and repair broken exhibits. 

ATTENTION: Tuscawilla Nature Preserve will be closed until further notice. MOAS is assessing future plans in order to enhance the overall experience and ensure long-term sustainability. Updates will be communicated through the Museum’s website. Click for more information.

ATTENTION: The Sculpture Garden is currently closed due to safety concerns from storm damage.
