Saturday Parking Pass Required

Parking passes are released every Monday at 12:00 PM (ET) for the upcoming Saturday and often reach capacity quickly. If passes display as “Sold Out,” no additional reservations are available for that date. There is no off-site parking within walking distance of the main entrance. If passes are fully reserved, no additional entry options are available. We encourage you to visit on another day.

Entry is always free. There is no paid option once passes are fully reserved.

Duke Farms is more than a nature park, it is a living lab where we develop model strategies for nature restoration, wildlife conservation, and clean energy transition.
