Holidays, School Breaks, and Special Hours
MCM often has alternative schedules around holidays and school breaks. Review this list of upcoming holidays and school breaks to see if the museum will be open or closed. We recommend reserving advance tickets to guarantee entry during busier seasons, such as holidays and school breaks.
Spring Break 2024
This year almost all of the local school districts’ spring breaks coincide: March 25-29. To offer extra time for learning through play while schools are out, we’ll be open every day March 24–30.
Weather Closures
The museum will close during extreme weather conditions, including days when travel is deemed risky for visitors and staff. If the Madison Metropolitan School District closes due to the weather we also will close.
To confirm that the museum is open, visit our website’s homepage or Facebook page.
