KiDiMu's Fun-tastic FAQ

Got questions? We’ve got answers! Let’s dive in and see how we can make your KiDiMu adventure even more awesome! 🚀

Is my child too old or too young to enjoy KiDiMu?
Our exhibits and activities are thoughtfully designed for children ages 6 months to 10 years.

Is anyone able to visit the Museum?
Everyone is welcome! However, we have a “no adults alone” policy to ensure the safety of all children. If you’d like a guided tour, please call ahead or check in at the front desk. We’re happy to help! Contact us at 206-855-4650 or learnmore@kidimu.org to schedule.

Is it okay to drop my child off at the Museum?
Children must be accompanied by an adult (18+) unless they are participating in a drop-off program such as a camp or workshop.

Do you offer membership options?
Yes! Learn more about our membership levels and benefits here.

Is KiDiMu within walking distance of the ferry terminal?
Yes, we’re just off Winslow Way, about half a block from the terminal.

Are food and drinks allowed inside?
To help us keep the Museum clean and safe, we ask that all food and drinks be enjoyed outside at our picnic table or at the Island Gateway Plaza tables. Drinks with lids are allowed inside as long as they aren't glass and are securely sealed.

Is the Museum wheelchair-accessible?
Yes! KiDiMu is fully ADA-accessible.

Where should I park my stroller?
Stroller parking is conveniently located just outside the Museum entrance.

Is it possible to bring a class or organized group to visit?
Definitely! We welcome field trips and group visits. Please contact us at 206-855-4650 or email learnmore@kidimu.org to schedule in advance.

Are there other things to do nearby for families?
Yes! KiDiMu is located in the heart of downtown Bainbridge Island, just steps away from parks, beaches, restaurants, and shops. We’re happy to offer suggestions during your visit.

Do you have a Lost and Found?
Yes! Lost items are held at our front desk for up to 30 days. Feel free to give us a call or stop by if you think you’ve left something behind.
