We close on New Year's Day but are open a full business day New Year's Eve.
We close also on Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, the day
after Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Labor Day. We close at 2pm on
Christmas Eve.
I think your situation might be different because you serve such a tourist
population, whereas we serve mostly residents. In addition, the Christmas
and New Year's holidays occur between our class semesters, and we are
typically working reduced hours then anyway (normally we're open M-F
8am-10pm, Sat 9am-6pm and Sun 12pm-6pm). Closing Easter is always a big
controversy because some people insist we should stay open, but others say
that if we close Christmas we certainly should be closed Easter. The day
after Thanksgiving is a closed day for staff convenience, since we have no
classes on Fridays and our weekends are typically busy.

Subject: Information needed on holiday hours
Hi all
Shedd Aquarium in Chicago is planning on staying open New Years Day 2004
(first time in 73 years!)
We have noticed an upward trend in visitors coming on holidays or holiday
eves (Thanksgiving Day, Easter, Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, New Years Day)
Our challenge is balancing staff wishes (open late and/or close early) and
visitor wishes (use the 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. hourse we have on weekends).
I'd be interested in what your institution's hours are for these days - are
you open and if so, for your regular hours or shortened hours?
Easter (We're open on our regular schedule)
Thanksgiving Day (we open at our regular 9 a.m. but close early, at
4 p.m.)
Christmas Eve ( 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.)
New Years Eve ( 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
New Years Day (we're thinking about 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
Thanks
