Why aren’t there any schedules for the Children’s Museum? (I’ve wasted about all the time I care to trying to find out what is going on an whether or not there are fees or special hours. (I was particularly interested in the dinosaurs.)
It would be a help to me and, I suspect, to many others.
(As an unwitting and unwilling “resident”, I’ve come to expect less than stellar examples of common sense or customer service from anything or anyone in this backwater. I, however, must admit to being somewhat surprised that you folks weren’t a blit above of the fray…My mistake.)
