Safety guidelines

• We recommend all visitors eligible for COVID vaccinations to be fully vaccinated.
  

• Masks are optional as long as Saratoga County’s community COVID-19 level is low or medium, according to the CDC. Visitors are welcome to wear masks. High-quality KN95 or similar masks (i.e. N95 or KF94) are recommended. Should the community level rise to high, then masks will be required indoors.
