A sensory room, where guests of all ages can relax and center themselves, also provides privacy for breastfeeding mothers. Two family restrooms and diaper changing tables in both the men's and women's restrooms add to MassMu's family-friendly atmosphere.
In the Museum shop, OHregionalities, visitors find regionally handcrafted pottery, jewelry, and cards, local history and football books, and children's gifts. The lobby cafe, Anderson's in the City, offers specialty coffees, sweets, and light lunch.
