For the first time in months, the Children’s Museum of Fond du Lac is welcoming visitors . Museum director Andrea Welsch says WinnePLAYgo, reopens Friday with expanded health and safety measures. The 10,000 square foot outdoor space features five shanty-like structures, tricycles, tractors, picnic tables, musical spaces and outdoor games. The highlight of the space is its gardens, including seven raised garden beds , and a butterfly garden. WinnePLAYgo, will reopen on Friday, June 26th with expanded health and safety measures, including a 25 guest count capacity and modified schedule of Tuesday – Friday, from 9:00am to 1:00pm through August 21 (subject to change based on demand and staffing resources). Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be reserved as “Members Only” days, however any household can become a member simply by visiting CMFDL’s website. This is being done as a token of gratitude to CMFDL’s membership base, which was largely very supportive during its mandated closure, and also as a measure to enjoy a “contactless” check-in. Friday’s will be “Reservations ONLY”
and open to the General Public or Members who are seeking a private gathering space. CMFDL has thoroughly planned and implemented cleaning, social distancing, and safety procedures . Hand sanitizer will be available to guests prior to entering and CDC guidelines will be reviewed. Guests are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer, wipes, sunscreen and any other supplies needed to safely enjoy the summer outdoors – including picnic snacks. The indoor portion of the museum remains closed.
