The requirement of proof of one dose is effective immediately. A physical vaccination card or Excelsior Pass is required. COVID-19 negative test results will not be accepted. Children under the age of 5 will be required to wear masks.

Guests 12 and older need to present proof of complete vaccination. No word yet on when that might be required for younger children.
