Our note
This one is first come first served, so you cannot hold spots for a class. The $20 sits on top of admission, which makes it the dearest way in for a group. If you want a set time and a known price, ask about a private tour instead.

What the children do

A one hour drop-in tour runs from 10 am to 11 am on select Saturdays in summer at $20 per person, which does not include admission. The page lists July dates of the 11th, 18th and 26th but does not give a year. Places are first come first served and the centre recommends arriving early to secure a spot. There is no way to reserve it for a group.

Good to know

The price, the day, the hour and how places are allocated are all published. What the tour covers, how big a group can join and whether it runs past July are not, so ask before you count on it.

Sources disagree. Their own pages give two different answers for the opening days. The contact page says Monday to Friday, and a post about the current exhibit says 7 days a week. The weekend matters here because the Saturday tour and the summer dance performances both fall outside weekday hours, so settle it when you book.
