COVID Opening Details
Good news. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that beaches and pools will operate with six-foot social distancing in anticipation of Memorial Day. New York State's goal is to reopen them to 100 percent capacity by July 4. He also announced that outdoor amusement parks (and water parks) can open at 100% capacity as long as social distancing is maintained and masks are used.
It's a good idea to check with the location you are going to before you head over to ensure you are aware of the latest COVID protocols and opening information. There may still be adjusted schedules, reservation requirements, capacity restrictions, health screenings and mask mandates.
Things change frequently so make sure you are in the know. We suggest keeping an eye on these websites for the latest COVID updates:
