This review is about an employee/volunteer. Due to Covid the museum is closed until June. We went to hike the beautiful grounds on Sat. 5/22 before the heat set in. The museum was still holding it's annual plant sale outside on the patio of the museum. I have a disease which requires me to take a diuretic twice a day. Half way thru one of the trails I had to use a Ladies room. I went to the patio where staff and patrons were starting to kick off the plant sale. I told them my diuretic was setting in and I needed to use a restroom if possible. And a fellow who was standing there said due to the museum being closed there were no bathrooms available. Another volunteer pointed and said we have a bathroom right there. The man snapped at her and said the public can't use the bathroom. Only the staff/volunteers can. I told the man that I really didn't want to act like I was camping and I understand COVID regulations but what is good for the goose is good for the gander. He said well there are some private trees over there. Or maybe over there. I said I don't have time for you decide what tree for me to use. I will find one myself. As i eventually continued my hike two patrons came up and apologized to me for how the man treated me. In hind sight I should have just walked past the punk and used the "Staff" "Volunteer" bathroom. ...

I'll start by saying that I grew up in this area. I've been here many times since I was little and always love it. This review is for the lack of moral compass I recently experienced. My mom and I got the free passes the library has. We thought about it weeks ahead, got tickets for the 27th for one of the days my kids are off from school. My husband took off work to go. There were no blackout dates and no restrictions. Today, we got notified by the library that the museum actually rescinded these passes!! They said basically that they were getting enough paying customers so they weren't going to honor the free passes. These passes were offered by the museum to the library and did not specify dates. These passes were already given out and plans were made on our end. Now, if I want to go with my family, I have to spend money that I did not budget for or find something else to do for my kids on that day. I'm not expecting a handout but if you provide these passes and they're already claimed, they should be honored, end of story. It would be understandable to take back passes not already claimed or think ahead better next year and state that they can't be given out for specific dates. But to actually take them back is...
