🎵 The window is open, so's that door...
I didn't know they did that anymore!
Who knew we owned 120 parking spots?
Forty three days with empty halls.
Why have exhibits with no visits?
Finally, they're opening up the doors!

There'll be actual, real-life people.
It'll be totally strange.
Wow, are we so ready for this change! 🎵

We are so glad to announce that the government shutdown has ended, staff are back at work, and the Visitor Center is open again! The current Visitor Center hours are Thursday through Sunday 10:00am to 4:00pm. Refuge grounds have been and remain open sunrise to sunset daily.
