We are excited to announce that the Fairbanks Centre is now open to the public!
We at the Fairbanks Centre were very excited to hear Dr. Strang’s go-ahead for small businesses to open a few weeks ago. Having had time to readjust and plan for the Fairbanks Centre, we opened to the public as of July 13th, 2020 for regular hours.
This exciting announcement comes with some changes to the visitation policy at the Centre. Anyone who wants to visit the Fairbanks Centre will need to social distance in the parking lot, on the trails, and in the museum for the protection of our staff and members of the public.
A few additional changes to keep us all safe:
10 visitors maximum will be allowed in the Centre at one time.
We ask that visitors sanitize their hands upon entry to the museum and encourage mask wearing.
We have marked the floors throughout the museum with arrows to create a one-way path. Please respect them.
Demonstrations of the lock model by staff will be available. Please call ahead to ensure a staff member will be available. Unfortunately, members of the public will not currently be allowed to interact directly with the model.
The Fairbanks Centre washrooms will remain closed to the public. However, the washrooms in the parking lot are open.
On a lighter note, we have new merchandise for purchase, including t-shirts and sweatshirts. (Watch out for a post about our new items soon!) We will be accepting credit and e-transfer payments. If you drop into the Fairbanks Centre, be sure to check out our display case.
We greatly appreciate everyone’s help in protecting the health of all visitors, and we look forward to seeing all of you this summer!
