NOTE TO MEMBERS

Note to Members

As we were finalizing this issue of Seasons, we received word that Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park will be able to reopen in a limited capacity on June 8th. We look forward to safely and whole-heartedly welcoming you—our members and guests—back to Meijer Gardens. While we were closed over the past three months, a limited number of staff members have been busy behind the scenes, working towards the day we can reopen. As we determine what our new procedures will be, we ask for your patience. Things will change. But you can be assured that Meijer Gardens will have your health and safety in mind.

New safety precautions will include:

• Asking that guests maintain social distancing guidelines.

• New entrance procedures.

• Additional cleaning and sanitizing by our facility attendants.

• Hand sanitizing stations.

• Certain areas will be closed until it is deemed safe to open them.

• Face coverings will be required for entry and when in enclosed public spaces.

Check MeijerGardens.org/COVID for current information and a map showing closed areas. Please note, it is not possible to ensure that benches, wheelchairs and other common surface areas are sanitized at all times. Please use at your own risk. While we are still developing plans for our re-opening, know that we are keeping our grounds beautiful, increasing safety standards and looking for new ways to welcome our members and guests. Watch your inbox and MeijerGardens.org/COVID for updates in the coming weeks.

We miss you and can not wait to welcome you back!
