After COVID-19 prevented its 2020 season, Valleyfair in Shakopee is planning to open this May.
Valleyfair announced Monday that it will open to the public May 22, and its water park will open May 29, Memorial Day weekend. Season passes from 2020 will be honored this year. Unused admission tickets from 2020 can also be used through Sep. 6.
The park's new Grand Carnivale event will take place July 24-Aug. 8.
As of right now, Valleyfair says it will open at "limited capacity" to ensure social distancing can be maintained, and has a series of safety measures in place that may be revised up until the day before opening.
