Security officers are available to assist you. The officers can be identified by their badges. They are present throughout the visit (in the courtyard, gardens, and museum entrances and exits.) A lost child can ask them for help. The child will receive immediate assistance and the officers will take the necessary measures to find the child’s chaperones. Likewise, chaperones or parents can also receive assistance from security officers if they have lost a child.

The Palace reserves the right to change or cancel activities in the event of bad weather.
