While we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the park, there are some people who should forego a visit to Story Land this year under the current precautions. Among those who should avoid visiting in 2021: anyone with illness, COVID-19 symptoms, those who are at high-risk, those unable or unwilling to practice social distancing, or to wear face coverings to protect others, and those who may expect a visit to the park this year to be just like any other in the past.

Yes, all Guests and Team Members are required to wear facial coverings while at Story Land. The only exception is for children under age three. Bandanas are not accepted as facial coverings at Story Land.

Guests are required to remove facial coverings while on water attractions (Bamboo Chutes, Splash Battle and Dr. Geyser's Remarkable Raft Ride), in complying with water safety best practices. We recommend bringing a plastic bag that can be sealed to store your facial covering in if you plan to enjoy these attractions. Guests may also remove their masks while eating or drinking. Face shields are not permitted on any attraction and are not a substitute for a facial covering. Face shields are permitted within the park when worn with a cloth facial covering.

The way we will operate this summer is significantly different from what we are all used to as we adapt to the new landscape created by COVID-19. To ensure the safety of our Guests and Team Members while providing the very best experience possible, some attractions and high touch areas will be closed during your visit. Rides, retail and food locations will operate with modifications. More specific information on ride, retail and food location dates of operation can be found at our Attraction Updates page.
