Visits are booked online as 50-minute sessions, and walk-ins can have a shorter 30-minute visit when there is capacity. The main entrance is at the back of the building, where there is parking. Guests wear clean shoes or socks and sanitize their hands, the kitten room takes four people at a time, and children 12 and under need one adult for every two children. Daily quiet hours from 1 to 3 pm are closed to children under 12.
