Danny Thomas Tomb, Statue, Mini-Museum

I tried to get in on July 16, 2023, and it was off limits to anyone who is not a patient at the hospital. The guard said they are still observing COVID restrictions.

[Donald Vivacqua, 08/08/2023]

It's a children's cancer hospital, so it makes sense that they're cautious about infectious diseases. This is one attraction where it pays to call ahead to confirm your visit, rather than being spontaneous.
