Sick policy

The Hunter Museum works to provide a safe and healthy environment for all our visitors. We believe children prefer to be home in a comfortable environment when they are not feeling well. A general rule to follow is that if your child has any temperature or is too sick to go to school, they are too sick to visit the museum. If your child is ill or recuperating from an illness, we ask that you postpone your child’s participation in Hunter Museum Classes until he or she is able to return to all normal activities.
