“Given the steady increases in traffic we are seeing at Destiny USA, combined with increased vaccination rollout, the re-opening of movie theatres and pent-up customer demand for more venues to be open earlier and later in the day, we are excited to begin ramping back to regular operating hours in the coming days,” Nikita Jankowski, marketing director at Destiny USA, said.

Destiny USA reminds those visiting the complex that restaurant venues may continue to offer extended hours into the evening. Those interested should call ahead to confirm a specific venue’s hours of operation or visit the center’s online directory, Destiny USA said.
