Face coverings are required to be properly worn over the nose and mouth by all staff and guests age two and up. Bandanas, neck gaiters, or masks with exhalation valves or holes do not protect others and are not acceptable face coverings.
Physical distancing
We are limiting tickets so everyone can safely spread out. We ask all guests to maintain six feet of physical distance with staff and visitors from other households. Guests from the same household may remain together. Children must stay with their guardians at all times.
Clean hands
Practice good physical hygiene, wash or sanitize hands frequently. Hand sanitizing stations have been installed throughout our campus for guest and staff use.
Help us keep you safe
For everyone’s safety, we ask all guests to please follow signage and staff instructions. Guests who do not comply with safety guidelines or staff instructions may be asked to leave the premises without refund.
