The garden’s gradual reopening process incorporates best practices and guidance from health authorities and government agencies, according to NYBG. New safety measures include requiring staff and visitors older than 2 to wear face coverings; increasing sanitization of public and staff areas; daily health screenings for on-site staff; supporting hygiene and social distancing practices; requiring timed-entry tickets purchased in advance; and operating at a reduced capacity.
NYBG’s limited timed-entry ticketing system staggers visitors’ arrivals, promotes social distancing, and mitigates the risk of crowding. Advance purchase of timed tickets for NYBG GLOW is required and will be confirmed by email. Visitors who do not purchase tickets in advance will not be guaranteed admission.
