Here’s what’s opening in Boston

The seals at the aquarium can now slip and slide for crowds as the city will move to “Step One of Phase Three” of the state’s reopening plan on Feb. 1.

Come Monday, the following can open with 25% capacity. It’s a start as the city sees better coronavirus metrics:

Indoor fitness centers and health clubs, including gyms using alternative spaces
Movie theaters
Museums
Aquariums
Indoor recreational and athletic facilities
Indoor recreational venues with potential for low-contact (batting cages, driving ranges, bowling alleys, rock-climbing)
Sightseeing and other organized tours (bus tours, duck tours, harbor cruises, whale watching)
Indoor historical spaces and sites
Indoor event spaces such as meeting rooms, ballrooms, private party rooms and social clubs (limited to 10 people)
