Quassy Amusement & Waterpark opened for the season on June 20th. The park’s traditional April opening was delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
The iconic lakeside property is operating under COVID-19 mandates issued by the State of Connecticut, which include social distancing in queue lines for rides and limiting daily attendance to less than normal capacity. The park requires that all guests wear facemasks while on the property.
The state mandates as well as guest guidelines and responsibilities when visiting the park may be downloaded from the top of the home page at www.quassy.com and will also be shared via Quassy’s social media.
“These have been challenging times for everyone,” noted park President Eric Anderson. “We have been working diligently with state officials as well as our industry associations to achieve criteria for reopening. We’re certainly pleased that we can finally welcome guests.”

Patience And Guidelines
“We really want to stress that guests will need to be patient and follow the guidelines when visiting. We’ll have queue lines for the rides marked with distancing gaps and arrows along walkways for traffic flow,” Anderson asserted. “Of course, there will be park-wide sanitation procedures done by our staff and hand sanitizer available for guest use. Seating outside the restaurant will also be set up to achieve the social distancing mandates. Cooperation will go a long way in helping us operate during this phase of our re-opening.”
