COVID Considerations

Wundergrubs is committed to the safety of all the little critters that visit the Grub-A-Dub Shack. As of February 26, 2022, the City of Atlanta has dropped its mask mandate. Masks are recommended outdoors (ages 4+), within six ft. of another guest, especially when engaging in activities within close proximity. Masks are required indoors (ages 4+), at all times. We can't wait to bug you.
As with all ASF events, we ask you to take care of yourself and your community. Stay home if you feel ill, get vaccinated and mask up when in close proximity to others!
