Following multiple postponements, Tivoli has finally absolutely confirmed it will be opening its doors to the public on Monday June 8 from 11:00.
Since being given permission to open under certain conditions, Tivoli has been busy working on ensuring that its social distancing and hygiene measures are up to scratch.
App bookings to avoid queues
Accordingly, several rides where visitors are more likely to deeply inhale and exhale, be in close proximity to others, or even shout, will not be in operation.
For the rides in operation, visitors will use an app to book their place to avoid queuing.
Open until October 4
Tivoli’s last open day came at the end of its winter season, which concluded on February 23, three and a half months ago.
The summer season has been extended until October 4.

Just like traffic lights, red and green coloured lights will tell guests to either move up or down the 31 steps on the spiral staircase.
