Father's Day
Father's Day at SMCT
You are warmly invited to visit our locations this Father’s Day weekend.
We understand that for those grieving the loss of a father or father figure, this time of year can feel especially tender and overwhelming. You are not alone. Our spaces are here to support reflection, remembrance, and connection.
Many members of our community plan to visit our locations at this time. If you are joining us, you may notice some small changes to the way we support you during your visit. We've made these changes to make sure we provide the safest and most comfortable experience for all our guests.
Changes may include (but not be limited to) provisions for increased traffic, changes to operating hours and special events and experiences.
Please find temporary updates to our usual services listed on our location and services pages. If you have any questions, please contact usExternal site
