The reopening dates below should be considered tentative at best — as with everything else involving the coronavirus pandemic. Check out the individual park web sites for any change to their reopening dates.
Let’s start with what’s already open: all the major theme parks in Florida — Disney, Universal, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, Legoland. Also, all the big parks in Texas — Six Flags and SeaWorld. The same goes for a few smaller parks around the country — Nickelodeon Universe (New Jersey and Minnesota), Adventuredome (Nevada) and Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park (Colorado) .
California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York are the only states that have not allowed theme parks to reopen in the United States.
