Our reopening phases will include the Gardens, followed by a full campus reopening.

• We are reviewing guidance from government and public health officials on a daily basis and are also in contact with other museums throughout the country. 
• We have produced a detailed analysis of each space within the Museum and Gardens, indicating the appropriate capacities based on social distancing guidelines.
• We have secured services from a renowned local healthcare provider to perform healthcare monitoring for our employees for the pre-opening phase and beyond. 
• We have ordered a multitude of Personal Protection Equipment to include face masks for staff and visitors, hand sanitizer stations, plexiglass guards for the lobby area, and more.
• We have expanded our daily cleaning and sanitation policies for all common areas and surfaces according to CDC and OSHA guidelines.
• We are adapting our onsite summer camp to a virtual camp to ensure a safe, fun, and engaging experience for all campers that is consistent with local and federal health guidelines. Click here to learn more.
