Allerton Park and Retreat Center will reopen to the public on Monday, May 4. Guests will be able to visit from 8:00 am until sunset.
With the reopening, Allerton has put safety precautions into place in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The guidelines are as follows:
- The Visitor Center, Greenhouse Cafe, and Mansion will all remain closed until further notice is given.
- The Main Parking Lot restrooms will be available for use. They will be cleaned multiple times each day, but additional sanitizer is advised.
- Please bring your own water, as none will be provided.
- Trash cans will not be in use. This is to limit the number of items being touched.
- Uphold proper social distancing, keeping at least six feet away from other visitors at all times.
- Large Gatherings will not be allowed. Congregations will be asked to leave.
- The CDC recommends the use of face masks.
- Limit contact between surfaces.
- The House of Golden Buddhas will stay closed.
- Use caution when visiting from long distances.
- Stay home if you feel ill.
All of Allertons on-site special events have been cancelled, but they have made the decision to host virtual events, tours, hikes, and other activities.
More information can be found on the Allerton Park and Retreat Center website.
