WonderWorks Orlando opening after COVID-19 Closure
After being closed for two months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WonderWorks Orlando announces that it will be reopening on May 29, 2020.
“We are ready to open our doors, it’s been a stressful time for us all and we hope to provide a fun family filled outlet for all our guests to have some fun,” says Brian Wayne, general manager of WonderWorks Orlando.
WonderWorks Orlando conducted a survey, asking their followers when they would feel comfortable visiting once reopened. The survey results showed:
Summer- 41%
ASAP- 17%
Next Year- 16%
Fall- 14%
Indefinitely- 7%
The survey showed that 58% of those who took the survey plan to visit within the next couple of months. The survey also asked people what would make them feel more comfortable about visiting. The information gathered from that survey was used, along with CDC guidelines, to put new safety measures into place for guests.
The new COVID-19 safety protocols that have been adopted include reduced capacity and hours, enhanced cleaning efforts, social distancing measures, hand sanitizer stations, employee health screenings, and employee personal protective equipment (PPE). The attraction also has a few interactives closed for the time being, including the ropes course and the rock wall. Guests are encouraged to review all safety rules prior to their visit on the web page devoted to COVID-19: https://www.wonderworksonline.
To help guests remember these new protocols, they will be welcomed back with reminders and signage from WonderWorks two mascots- Professor Wonder and Orbit.
“We’ve taken every measure to make our guests comfortable during our reopening and beyond,” continues Wayne.
The interactive indoor amusement park offers STEM-focused activities for all ages. There are over 100 hands-on activities that are focused on the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. Some of the exhibits will include a bubble room, Professor Wonder’s adventure, interactive sandbox, illusion art gallery, and xtreme 360 bikes. WonderWorks Orlando will open at 10 a.m. For more information on WonderWorks, visit the site at https://www.wonderworksonline.
