After being closed off to the public for a year and a day, the Above and Beyond Children’s Museum in Sheboygan is now allowing families to explore and enjoy the museum.
The Museum stopped allowing people in on March 15th of last year due to the pandemic and re-opened on March 17th of this year. However, it is not a free for all, as Jackie Erdman, the Executive Director of the museum explains.
“There were some differences,” she told SeehaferNews.com. “It came with sanitation requirements, limited capacity, online reservations, two-hour time slots, but it still happened and that’s incredible.”
On top of the two-hour time limit, there are a few other guidelines visitors need to follow.
“They do have to follow our social distancing requirements,” Erdman explained. “They have to wear their masks for two years and older, they do have to follow our signage, and we do ask that they make a one-way pathway through the museum by coming in the front door, going up to the third floor, and making their way down the staircase.”
Above and Beyond has also teamed up with the Fond du Lac Children’s Museum to introduce the Welcome Back Pass.
Erdman said , “Both of us are now able to welcome the members that were active as of the day of our closure, but we are also able to welcome those who welcome a Welcome Back Pass, or purchase a membership for the coming year.”
This pass is good for both museums. The museums both cater to children, but they contain vastly different interactive exhibits.
The Above and Beyond Children’s Museum is located at 902 North 8th Street in Sheboygan and is easily identifiable by the ship that is emerging from the upper levels.
