Hi Richard,
We are open from 9am to 5pm Tuesday through Sunday, and are open on four Mondays throughout the year: Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day (because kids are out of school - these days are insane!). These hours work very well for us. We converted from a seven-day a week operation in January of last year. It is great to have one day closed to the public - it helps us maintain our exhibits and change out shows. Sunday mornings are never busy for us (due to Church services, I would guess), so I don't know that being open Sunday morning will help with your attendance numbers.

Subject: Off season hours
We are setting our 2006 calander now, and I need some
input on off season hours. Traditionally, we are open
mon - sat 10-5, sun 1-5, except for major holidays and
January, when we are closed to the public. In the
interest of cutting costs, it has been suggested we
close Sundays in the off-season (November - February).
The management team also thinks it could be to our
advantage to extend our peak hours in the summer to
10-6, with Sunday becoming 10-5. Some on staff feel
the Sunday extension could backfire becuase of Church
services. Could you please share your thoughts on
this. We haven't surveyed our public yet, but I
thought getting input from the professionals on the
list would help. Thanks,
Richard Fields
