This Salt Lake City Attraction Is Open Again After Closing During Pandemic

One local attraction is now back up and running after being closed down during the pandemic, reported KSL.

The Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City is open for business with several safety measures in place to ensure the health and safety of guests and staff members.

Tim Glenn, assistant director at the planetarium, told the news outlet, "It's so exciting to see people in the building, to see kids running around and to even just hear the exhibits that are on. It's sort of a quiet place for the last few months."

The planetarium dropped the news on Twitter, writing, "We are now open! Come see us! We have updated exhibits, great films, and of course... SPACE STUFF!"

Visitors are required to wear facial coverings and to practice social distancing inside the planetarium.

There are also building capacity limits, so if you want to visit, be sure to make a reservation. There are currently no walk-in visitors welcome.

Lindsie Smith, Clark Planetarium director, said, "We're proud of the work we've done during the last year- especially in regard to our online educational programming and community outreach efforts. But we also know the in-person experience- feeling the awe and wonder of space, science and discovery at the Planetarium- is irreplaceable."
