Welcome Back!
Visitor & Wildlife Center New Hours: Mon-Sat, 10AM-3PM
We are so excited to welcome back our visitors and members to our Visitor and Wildlife Education Center! As the health and safety of our community is our top priority, we are following guidelines and implementing recommended precautions as we reopen. Following is a guide of what to expect when you come inside the Visitor Center:
- If our current inside visitor count is LESS than 10, we will be able to help you immediately upon arrival.
- If our inside count is AT 10, you will be asked to wait outside at a marked 6 ft physical distance from other visitors. We will let you know when it is your turn to enter.
- For your safety and ours, Blandford Nature Center requires all staff and visitors to wear masks while inside the Visitor and Wildlife Centers. Masks are optional outdoors.
- Please postpone your visit if you are feeling ill, all staff is required to do a health screening prior to coming to work at Blandford Nature Center
- Please be mindful of capacity limitations being imposed when visiting our center as a family/group/etc. Wait time may be longer for larger groups.
Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, we look forward to seeing you soon!
