lol, it's true, we're doing our best tho! Check back in mid-April and we'll have a sweet new bug exhibit on the 3rd floor. Simmons gallery rotates every ~4 months and the first floor kids' area is getting updated this spring as well.

The birds hall is a little faded, sure, but where would we be without the corpses of Tweety and Toucan Sam?

Many, many other cities have figured out how to have scooter parking spots and scooter-exclusive trails that prevent them from impacting you negatively.

You’re getting mad at a company and their customers who are reasonably providing the solution for a need (getting around town without having to park a car), when you should be getting mad at your city council for not providing appropriate parking spaces for them or bike trails.

I know if you move these too much without renting, they trip an alarm. I'm not sure how long the alarm goes for.

EDIT: Read below that the alarm stops when they are put down. So it would be reasonable to move them around the corner or out to the curb.

Sorry I forgot, scooters sell to young people in cities therefore they can never do anything wrong and it's just perfect that they prevent people from using their driveway and block the sidewalks and prevent disabled access because at least it's not a minivan amirite
