COVID-19 Warning
We have taken enhanced health and safety measures – for you, our other guests, and our associates. You must follow all posted instructions while visiting the property. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the CDC, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
If you are exhibiting any COVID-19 related symptoms, you should not enter or remain on the property. Help keep each other healthy.
Our Safety Measures

Temperature Screening Notice
Upon arrival, your temperature will be taken. Anyone with a temperature higher than 100.4 degrees will not be permitted into the property. Temperature screening does not prevent the spread of COVID-19. Current medical information suggests that individuals without any symptoms (i.e., asymptomatic) may nevertheless be infected with COVID-19 and still transmit the virus to others. For this reason, taking temperatures does not eliminate the need to practice other steps to avoid the spread of the virus such as maintaining social distancing best practices, wearing a mask, frequent hand washing and disinfecting, following all posted instructions while visiting the park and performing a self-assessment for the presence of COVID-19 related symptoms.
If you are exhibiting any COVID-19 related symptoms, you should enter or remain in the property.
