Visitor Information
Hours of Operation & Admission
From Mid-March to early November, the Orientation Center and Duke Farms are open six days a week Thursday through Tuesday from 8:30am to 6pm. After November, our hours shorten to 8:30am to 4:30pm. Admission is always FREE!
Duke Farms is CLOSED to visitation on Wednesdays as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. This includes the Orientation Center and trails.
Duke Farms considers the property full when all the parking spaces are occupied. Once this happens, our parking areas will be temporarily closed. In nice weather, this is most likely to happen on weekends (especially on Sundays) or holidays, so be sure to plan accordingly by carpooling, using alternative transportation and/or by planning your trip for off peak hours such as early mornings or later in the afternoons.
If you arrive at Duke Farms and find the parking area temporarily closed, please visit Somerset County Tourism website or the NJ Skylands website for information on other nearby recreational opportunities.
