Arizona Science Center To Begin Phased Reopening

Science has become even more important amid the coronavirus pandemic and science lovers will soon be able to get their fix again in downtown Phoenix.

The Arizona Science Center will begin a gradual, phased reopening this weekend. Members will be able to visit as soon as Saturday and the museum will open to the general public on June 20.

During the first phase, small groups of guests will participate in guided experiences, like getting a closer look at Victoria, a 12-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus rex. 

The center will encourage physical distance between guests and will close on Tuesdays for deep cleanings.

Senior field correspondent Bridget Dowd has a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
