No confetti, glitter or piñatas allowed. No party decorations will be attached to walls, shelves or displays. Table decorations are encouraged. Non helium balloons allowed for table decoration only.

A music player (stereo system) may be brought in but must be kept to a level of back ground music only, no loud blaring. No noisemakers are allowed in the center.

Please let us know if any guests have special needs and we will make every effort to make their visit to the HAC as fun and comfortable as possible.
