After five months of being closed to the public, the Oregon Coast Aquarium will be reopening their doors to visitors on Monday, August 10th, 2020. The price of admission will be reduced because some exhibits are closed, and guests will have to follow certain safety protocols due to Covid-19.

Carrie Lewis, President and CEO of the Oregon Coast Aquarium said, "The visitor experience will be different but unique." Due to state guidelines visitors will only be able to explore outdoor exhibits. While this may be different than what some visitors are used to, the aquarium is committed to focusing on the best experience they can provide.
