Attraction To Continue Sneak Peek Week With Changes

March 13, 2020, Derby, Kan. – As the nation deals with the current spread of COVID-19, we want to assure everyone that the health and safety of our guests is of the utmost importance. In response to the announcement from the Sedgwick County Health Department about public events with more than 250 people being banned, we have made the following changes to our Spring Break Sneak Peek event. This event is set to begin on March 14th and run through March 22. All of these procedures will be followed for the entirety of our Spring Break Sneak Peek.

All shows, games and activities will only be presented at our Amphitheater, which is an open air performance space. No shows, games or activities will be presented in enclosed spaces such as the Family Tent.
All shows, games and activities at the Amphitheater will be capped at 250 attendees.
Jurassic Golf will remain open. All clubs and balls will be disinfected after each use. Participants will not be permitted to share clubs or balls.
All points of contact at the Box Office, Concessions, Front Gate and Retail will have disinfectant and/or hand sanitizer available for staff.
All contact surfaces in every bathroom will be disinfected every hour.
All performers will wash their hands – per the guidelines set by the CDC – after every show, game or activity performed.
Any staff member who is feeling ill or under the weather will not be allowed to work.

In the event that any dates are cancelled, you will be provided the opportunity for a refund or to use your Spring Break Sneak Peek Week ticket towards another similar event date for 2020. We strongly urge you to follow sensible actions when attending any public event. If you feel sick or are displaying any symptom of a cold or flu, we encourage you to stay at home.

Field Station: Dinosaurs aims to continue to provide quality entertainment in a safe environment.
