How can I get involved with children I bring to the museum?
Leonardo's offers a wonderful experience for everyone. We strongly encourage parents, grandparents, caregivers and educators to get engaged in the learning and discovery with their children. Introduce your children to the hands-on components in all our exhibits. Make some music in our Music Lab, construct projects together in our Carpentry Shop, or enter the enchanting world of make believe in our Dress-up Area. And, you can always simply ask questions to inspire thinking and foster problem-solving skills.
Are there any special events going on this week?
Check our calendar for upcoming events. We also have special activities (animal feedings, art projects, story time) going on in the museum on a regular basis. Be sure to pick up a copy of our member newsletter for even more information.
Where can I store my coat or other belongings?
Cubbyholes located near the entrance are available and free of charge. Lockers are also available for $0.25. While these storage areas are usually safe, Leonardo's is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.
What should I do with my stroller?
Strollers are welcome in Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse & Adventure Quest. However, we do ask that you keep your stroller with you and that they not be left unattended. If you'd like to park your stroller, please ask a staff member at the Admissions Desk for assistance.
Are there any museum rules?
Each exhibit is designed for hands-on entertainment, so have fun and touch whatever you wish. We only ask that activities and props stay in their designated exhibits. Also, be sure to walk while inside the museum and keep food and drinks in designated areas. Most importantly, have fun!
Where can I get lunch?
Leonardo's Lunchbox offers concessions throughout the summer during regular hours. Snacks are available at the Gift Shop. We can arrange to have lunch delivered to your larger group through special arrangement with McDonald's, Golden Chick or Papa John's—be sure to let us know at least a day in advance. Or, you're welcome to bring a picnic. Outside food is permitted in an indoor eating area as well as several outdoor picnic areas. Or try one of Enid 's local restaurants near the museum (just make sure your hand is stamped for re-entry).
How is leonardo's funded?
Admissions and other earned revenue cover a portion of the museum's operating costs. However, Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse & Adventure Quest is a non-profit organization that seeks revenue via donations, grants and sponsorships so that we can continue to change and grow. We welcome and value your financial support.
How do I become a member of leonardo's?
We offer annual museum memberships for just $110 plus tax. Payment options include a monthly bank draft for your convenience. Also available are sustaining and corporate sponsorship packages with bonus components, including special discounts, advance notice of programs, and a newsletter.
How can I volunteer at leonardo's?
We love our volunteers and they play a significant role here. From building exhibits and working with children to administrative opportunities, Leonardo's offers volunteer opportunities that are stimulating and gratifying. Applications can be obtained from the Admissions Desk during museum hours.
