“Today was crazy at The Discovery Museums! In a good way! We had over 1200 visitors and at the peak of the parking
when we fully ran out, Steve counted 147 cars! I wanted to give a huge thank you to John, Terry, Shane and the boys
outside for being super flexible and letting us use a lot of the parking and even helping out. There was a lot of team work
and as far as I could tell, the parking didn’t impede too much on the work being done. We certainly wouldn’t have had as
successful of a day without having that access, we really appreciate it.”
