Tips for Visiting
OKCMOA is dedicated to providing an activated Museum space at all times with interactive experiences and art-making activities. Plus, children 17 and under receive FREE admission to the Museum!
- Strollers are welcome in the galleries, but they must be pushed by an adult. Strollers can be checked out free of charge from the Admissions Desk.
- Nursing is welcome in all public spaces in the Museum. A private nursing space is available. Please ask a Visitor Services associate for assistance.
- Changing tables are available in all public restrooms except the Mezzanine level.
- No food or drinks are allowed in the galleries, but are welcome on the landings on each floor.
- Please leave large bags and backpacks at home or out of view in the trunk of your car. If you need an exception for a medical reason, please see the Admissions Desk.
- Do not carry children on your shoulders or in carriers on your backs.
- You don’t need to be quiet in the galleries! We encourage talking, questions, and even the occasional song in our galleries.
- Pack a sketch pad and a regular pencil (no pens) if your children like to draw or write. Give them time to sketch or write their reactions to the art, and free to have a seat on the floor.
- Please remember Museum manners by not touching the art or the walls around it, avoiding running, and staying behind the black lines on the floor of the galleries.
- Download our Be Your Own Guide for games to play in the galleries and more!
- Prepare for your visit by downloading our Social Narrative before you come to the Museum.
