Tickets & Season Passes

While walk-ins are welcome, we strongly recommend reserving your tickets online in advance, especially during peak summer weekends. Pre-purchasing ensures your entry and allows for a seamless, contactless check-in experience upon arrival.

Daily Admission provides full access to the dunes, our curated nature trails, the Living Museum exhibits, and the historic Tuttle Farmhouse. It also includes our narrated train tour, which offers an in-depth look at the site's unique geology and history.

The main pavilion, museum, and parts of the historic barn are fully accessible. However, the dunes themselves consist of soft, shifting sand and can be difficult to navigate with standard wheelchairs or strollers. We recommend sturdy footwear for all guests.

A "Named Passholder" is a specific individual registered to the account. For any visit, at least one of these individuals must be present. The "Number of Visitors" reflects the total group size allowed per visit, which includes the passholder(s).

Off-season access for Dunes and Combo Passholders typically begins in November and runs through April. This allows for quiet winter recreation, including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, while the main seasonal attractions are closed.

Absolutely. If you find yourself inspired by the landscape and wish to return, you may apply the cost of your day's admission toward any Seasonal Pass tier. This upgrade must be processed at the Guest Services desk before you leave the grounds.
