Reopening Frequently Asked Questions

How long was the Muttart closed? What rehabilitation work was done?

The Muttart closed July 2, 2019 for rehabilitation work. That closure was 18 months. The remaining duration of the closure was due to provincial health orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To read about the renewal work that was completed, see the Muttart Conservatory Rehabilitation Project page.

How can I get tickets? Can I purchase tickets at the door?

Tickets may be purchased in advance at MoveLearnPlay or in person upon arrival.

Tickets will be available at 30 minute intervals, and you will enter the Muttart during the specific time window on your ticket.

I bought my online ticket, do I have to come right at the start time?

We ask that you please arrive during the window of time you selected for your ticket. We will be closely monitoring capacity to ensure everyone has a safe and comfortable visit.

What is happening with my membership?

All memberships were prorated and expired at the time of facility closure. Currently there are no active members.

I am a member, do I have to pay the general admission price or is that included in my membership?

As there are no active memberships, you must purchase a new one. Your membership will then count toward your admission.

My membership has expired, how can I renew my membership?

You can purchase or renew memberships on MoveLearnPlay.

Does my timed ticket mean I have to exit at a certain time?

There is no requirement to leave the Muttart at a certain time. You're welcome to explore at your own pace while being mindful of the one-way paths. We have reduced our daily capacity to help accommodate people who wish to stay longer, and we will have designated rest areas to keep the flow of people moving through the Muttart safely.

What will tickets cost?

See Admission and Membership Rates.

Is there a family admission rate?

Not at this time. You can either buy general admission or child/youth tickets.

All bathrooms will be cleaned and sanitized regularly throughout the day. Please practice good hand hygiene.

What happens if there is a COVID19 exposure while I am visiting?

In the unlikely event that this does happen, the City of Edmonton will work with Alberta Health Services to ensure all proper processes and protocols are followed.
