Events VINS reopens to the public!
Date
We are excited to announce that we will be reopening to the public on Monday, June 15, 2020!
We will be welcoming guests once again to our outdoor spaces and exhibits, including the Forest Canopy Walk, nature trails through the VINS Nature Center forest, raptor enclosures and songbird exhibit. In order to encourage physical distancing among visitors, the Forest Canopy Walk will be one-way to minimize congestion as visitors enjoy this experience. We will be offering snacks and drinks for purchase through the month of June, and appropriately spaced outdoor picnic tables will be available for seating. We will be open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Our Nature Store will remain closed for the time being, although we invite guests to shop anytime online.
Tickets may be purchased in advance or upon arrival: www.vinsweb.org/visit
Masks will be required for entry to the VINS Nature Center, and hand sanitizer will be available throughout the campus.
We will be offering discounted pricing from June 15 through July 12: adults $10; seniors, college students, educators, and veterans $9; and youth $5. We will continue to honor $5 pricing for EBT cardholders at all times.
Service dogs are welcome but please, no pets left unattended in the parking lot.
Our first priority is the safety of our guests and staff. We ask that you please help us by following these safety precautions:
1. Wear a mask or face covering
2. Maintain at least 6 feet of social distance
3. Feeling sick? Come back another day
