Living Coast Discovery Center in Chula Vista announced it is reopening to the public Saturday, May 1, after a year of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the nature center is set to welcome guests back Saturdays and Sundays only. Limited private tour reservations will be available Monday through Friday, said Communications Manager Rachel Harper.
Due to ongoing health-related restrictions, the nature center is set to reopen with limitations, such as asking guests health screening questions, requiring face masks and physical distancing.
The reopening comes after pandemic-related shutdowns forced the center to close. With public visits and educational programmings, such as field trips, wildlife camps and animal feedings its main source of revenue, the closure placed the Chula Vista nonprofit in financial uncertainty, Executive Director Ben Vallejos told the Chula Vista City Council during a July 2020 meeting.
