An update on the reopening plans.

The Museum and the Horseshoe Curve plan to reopen on Saturday, March 29th. We will return to 7-day per week operation at that time. New admission pricing is in effect. Rather than the option for seperate admissions this year, one ticket will be sold that will entitle the vistor to both sites. Those wanting only to visit the Curve and not pay for Museum admission will have the option to purchase our $5 Curve Grounds Pass that allows admission to the Curve as often as you like for the calendar year. Once we reopen on the 29th, the gates at the Curve will be open free of charge during non-operating hours.

I did research the possibility of opening the gates during this period of closure for the winter. However, since the grounds are considered "significantly improved" we found we were not indemnified from being sued should someone get hurt. There is protection for those property owners in PA who open their land for recreational use without charging a fee but for the most part, the law only protects owners of unimproved land. So - you will all have to wait until we reopen and the weather does not present such a challenge to us keeping the steps clear.
