On my visit to deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, our car will park in an open parking lot. There will be a few different buildings around the parking lot.  When we drove into the parking lot, we saw a lot of different sculptures that we can look at, but not touch.

If we are here for a program, we will meet everyone at the Carriage House. The Carriage House is a brown building that looks like a house, near the parking lot.

If we are here to explore, we can start in front of the Store and Café.  The store and café are in a small brown building with toys in the window. We will stay outside, unless our grown-up says its ok to go inside.

If there are maps at the Store, we can follow the family friendly route.

The maps show us where different sculptures are.  I will look, but not touch the sculptures.

There is a lot of space to run around the sculptures. If my grown up says its ok, we can run around the grass, but not touch the sculptures.

When we are all done outside, we may have a picnic or a snack from the café.

Right now the interior of the museum is closed, so we won’t be going inside this trip, but hopefully can plan to come back and explore the interiors soon.
