Family Guide to NYC Reopenings

08/25/2020 by The Mama Maven

I will post information as I get it. I will do my best to check information, always call or go to the business’s website before you go. This post contains contains affiliate links.

I’m happy that our infection rate in NYC is down and things are slowly starting to open up. I’m going to post all the information as I see it.

Zoo and Gardens

The Queens Zoo is open and we were there last weekend. Things are very different now – facecoverings and timed tickets are the way to go. Check out my post and video to see what the changes are.

Queens Botanical Gardens

Masks will be available for purchase at Garden entrances.

Hand sanitizer dispensers are available at multiple stations throughout the Garden. Feel free to inquire with Staff to help locate the nearest dispenser.

Restrooms are accessible by the ramp next to the Visitor & Administration Building. Please follow on-site instructions on how to enter restrooms.
They are limiting the use of paper materials.

entrances may be temporarily closed when and if the Garden is at capacity. Should you arrive at such a time, you must wait on the socially distanced line or return at a later time. The Visitor & Administration Building (Gift Shop and Gallery) will be temporarily closed until further notice. Indoor facilities are closed to the public.

They are closed on Mondays.
