As far as coming in Saturday there might be one little snag. Before entering the facility you've got to get a quick 10 min safety briefing during a weekday. Once you do that you can come in whenever you'd like.

As far as I know right now it cant. The guy(s) that can give the safety briefing are part of the skeleton maintenance crew at the former plant and are not affiliated with the museum. They only work Monday to Friday and to have them come in on a weekend would mean overtime which i guess there employer isn't interested in doing. Ill look into it because we need fresh faces with young blood in there!
