Opening hours in University City: how it compares to other indoor days out
Comparing like for like: what this gives you that the alternatives do not, and where the alternatives win.
If a visit is time critical - a party, a group, a long drive - call first: +1 (424) 387-6232 or +1 (615) 968-4925.
If you are coming from University City, treat it as a cross-town outing rather than a day trip. Go with a return time in mind and the day stays easy.
What it does differently
The first hour after opening is the calmest of the day, and the hour before closing is the second calmest.
Count on the drive home being the conversation. Children tell you what they actually thought about twenty minutes after leaving.
Where other options win
The published hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on weekdays and Saturday, and 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Sunday.
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.

Tell a nervous child what is going to happen in the order it will happen. Surprise is the thing they mind, not the activity.

Planning your visit in University City
For a University City family the trip works best folded into something else - the shopping that was happening anyway, a birthday that needed a venue, a Saturday that needed a plan.
Go early if the choice is available. The first hour after opening is quieter than any hour that follows it, and quieter is easier for everybody.
Bring a snack for afterwards rather than during. Hungry children leave early and full children want to stay.
Plenty of the families in the room on a weekday morning have come from somewhere like University City. Nobody is local to a mall attraction; everybody has driven.
