President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the White House would be extending its social distancing guidelines through April 30, so Discovery Park of America will be following those guidelines and we’ll be closed at least through the month of April. Like other companies, government entities and organizations, we will be evaluating again as we get closer to that date.
