WELCOME BACK TO SDDC!

Our exhibit hall is open to the public! The recent uptick in numbers of COVID-19 in Hughes county caused us to revise our operations and procedures. We have increased our measure to protect our staff and visitors. We do not accept birthday parties at this time. The exhibit hall is limited to 25 people at a time and we require visitors to wear masks. Please book your visit through our advanced online registration. 

We are monitoring the situation, using the risk scale developed by the Harvard Global Health Institute and Brown University to understand the risk in Hughes County: Hughes County COVID19 data. While this is not the only tool we use to inform our decisions, it is the primary one to help us understand the current COVID-19 situation. We strongly encourage all visitors to understand the current risk level and take that into consideration when planning a visit.

Should the staff and board decide to close our exhibit hall, notifications will be posted on our website and social media channels. Any purchases for ticket entries will be refunded.
