* Creation Universe Parks Safety Guidelines:
	+ Cleaning procedures are enhanced throughout the resorts. High-traffic areas such as public elevators and escalators, handrails, benches, tables, handles, restrooms, and more will be cleaned regularly. This also includes any housekeeping services. Hand sanitizer stalls will be placed all around our resorts.
	+ Social distancing will be in place throughout the entirety of our resorts. These include markings on signs and on the ground, physical barriers and within parking. Our crew members have been trained to encourage guests to follow the guidelines. Social distancing will be limited to 6ft/2m.
	+ Cashless payment options are highly recomended at the parks, as this reduces contact.
	+ Guests who visit our parks must make a reservation online
	+ Each guest over the age of 2 must wear a face mask.
	+ Each guest and crew member will need temperature screening in order to enter. Guests with a temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater will *not* be admitted.
	+ We've partnered with ZOONO, to provide our guests and crew a unique hand sanitizer system. ZOONO uses an antibacterial protective layer in their sanitizer that provides 24 hrs protection on skin and 30 days on surfaces.
	+ An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. We cannot guarantee you will not be exposed during your visit. By visiting any Creation Universe park, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. The CDC advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Guests should evaluate their risk in determining whether to attend. People who show no symptoms can spread COVID-19 if they are infected, any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed.
