The Tulip Festival is Back, and It’s Looking Amazing

• Everyone must wear a mask and maintain social distance at all times.
• On Festival weekends between 10am­ and 6pm there will be a limit of 40 people at any one time.
• Visitors will only be able to enter on 89th Street and exit on 90th Street, keeping foot traffic flowing in one direction to help with social distancing.
• Garden members will be posted at both gates to monitor numbers. When the limit has been reached, people will be asked to line up at six-foot intervals on the 89th Street sidewalk to wait their turn.
• If the Garden is crowded, we will encourage you to limit your visit to 20 minutes to enable others to enjoy the displays.
• You may line up for a repeat visit, or why not come back during the week when the Garden is less crowded and you can spend more time admiring the spring bulbs.

Please note, sitting down in the Garden will not be allowed when it is crowded; however, for those who are not able to walk or stand throughout their visit, the benches on both sides of the 89th Street gate will be reserved. Once again, dwell time is limited to 20 minutes to allow others an opportunity to sit.

If the Garden becomes crowded at any time (including weekdays or mornings), we will use the above methods to reduce crowding and keep everyone safe.
