  • As marbles pose a choking hazard for smaller children, tours and demonstrations are recommended for children 4 years and older.
  • Moon Marble Factory is very popular, and demonstrations can get crowded. Arrive early in order to find a comfortable viewing point, and it is recommended that you park at the visitor information lot and shuttle to the store as the store's parking lot is for artists and staff only.
