SPOKANE – The Numerica SkyRide in Riverfront will re-open Friday, May 29 as part of Safe Start Washington phase 2. Revised operating procedures will be in place to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The Governor issued guidance on operations of gondolas under phase 2, and those protocols will be in place. A few modifications visitors can anticipate:

  • Only family units will board the same gondola, up to 5 people
  • We encourage the purchase of tickets online or via a QR code on site signs; in-person sales will utilize credit cards only
  • Guests are advised to follow the Spokane Regional Health District directive to wear a mask indoors and confined public settings, when within 6’ of people from outside your household
  • Distancing markers will be placed where lines form
  • Frequent sanitation of high-touch points, gondolas, and restrooms
  • Staff will wear gloves and masks; sneeze guards will be in place at cashier stations
  • Hand sanitizer stations will be available

“We are excited to welcome the community back to the Numerica SkyRide with these protocols in place,” said Garrett Jones, Director of Parks & Recreation. “The roaring river falls are experiencing a beautiful spring runoff, and the SkyRide is the perfect place to view the falls.”
