The Sitka Sound Science Center aquarium will reopen to the public on Saturday, May 30.

To maintain social distancing guidelines, the number of visitors in the aquarium at one time are being limited to eight. Reservations are being required.
Hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, with hourlong time slots at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon, 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., with 30 minutes in between for cleaning and disinfecting.
‘‘We ask that you arrive promptly at your scheduled time, as the door will be locked at 5 minutes past the time,’’ the science center said.
Face coverings are required for all guests over the age of 5.
‘‘We ask that you keep your group to your household members only,’’ the center said. ‘‘At this time, we are not offering hatchery tours or doing public feedings of any animals, but we hope to reintroduce these programs soon.’’
Admission is $5 for everyone ages 3 and older. Those younger than 3 and members are admitted free.
