Greensboro Science Center Announces Two-Week Closure and Continued COVID-19 Assessment

In light of ever-changing national, state and local conditions associated with the spread of COVID-19, the Greensboro Science Center (GSC) will be closing for a minimum of two weeks, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Friday, March 13. The GSC will be closed through at least March 27. Staff will continue to assess all aspects of this rapidly evolving situation during this two-week period.

The GSC is perpetually focused on three core values:
1. The health and welfare of our guests
2. The health and welfare of our team
3. The health and welfare of our amazing animals

With these values in mind, GSC officials have decided to be proactive and err on the side of caution.

“This is a very tough decision,” says Glenn Dobrogosz, CEO of the GSC. “Given that the GSC is already seeing record attendance and we are just now heading into our peak season, we know this is going to hurt. But, our guests, colleagues and amazing animals will always come first.”

Dobrogosz continues, “To all citizens of Greensboro, thank you for your support, understanding and patience. Please be assured that our team and animals are doing great. This too will pass and the GSC looks forward to so many amazing projects that will bring science and tourism to the forefront of our community’s bright future.”
