*Please note, the Memories, Wonders, and Dreams: Stories From 100 Years exhibit is a museum-wide exhibit. However, one of the galleries with many of the featured objects is located past the entrance to the Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience® (RSLE). During the outdoor season (Apr.-May and Sept.-Nov.), schools that wish to visit this portion of the Memories, Wonders, and Dreams: Stories From 100 Years exhibit will need to book the Centennial Chatterbox school program (no additional charge) or can add a visit to RSLE (with an additional charge).
