As the state continues the
reopening process, a major San Francisco tourist attraction is preparing to
once again welcome visitors.
Pier 39, known for restaurants and
world-famous seal lions, is officially reopening Thursday – with a few changes.
To prevent the spread of the coronavirus,
occupancy at the pier has been reduced to ensure six feet of physical
distancing between people. This will be monitored through a new designated
entrance at the pier.
Other changes include mask
requirements for visitors over age 13 and new hours. Pier 39 will be open 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Touchless transactions will be strongly
encouraged.
For those looking to eat out, many
restaurants have moved their tables outside and Pier 39 staff has added
additional tables and chairs for guests throughout the property. Pier 39
President Taylor Stafford said cleanliness is a top concern, so special
attention will be paid to some of the high traffic areas.
“We’ve also implemented a CDC
approved cleaning and hygiene protocol on the property, so every major
touchpoint on the property is cleaned throughout the day, all day long,”
Stafford said.
He said following with the state guidelines
indoor dining can be expected to resume by mid-July. Stafford said rides and
other attractions might take a little longer to reopen, but they are looking at
the end of next month.
