Museums, art centers and – yes! – the Baseball Hall of Fame are opening this summer as New York’s shutdown loosens amid the coronavirus.
Some places are already open. Others are open to members, for now. A few plan to open in coming weeks.
Nearly all are requiring the same protocols: Reserved tickets and entrance times. Frequent hand sanitizing. Social distancing.
And all visitors and staff will wear masks. Children 2 and under do not have to wear masks.
Here’s a look at what’s happening at some popular places in Central New York and parts of Upstate:
Baseball Hall of Fame
Cooperstown, N.Y.
Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The hall of fame is selling tickets with specific entrance times to lessen crowds. Face masks are required, and free ones are available for guests.
The museum will provide a rubber-tipped pen to activate touch-screens and buttons on displays. There are also 25 hand sanitizing stations throughout the museum.
The Grandstand Theater, Bullpen Theater, Learning Center and Sandlot Kids’ Clubhouse remain closed.
Everson Museum of Art
Syracuse, N.Y.
The museum plans to open in August.
Howe Caverns
Howes Cave, N.Y.
