Plan Your Visit

Come visit us in the heart of the Adirondacks for a truly unique experience. With more than 20 buildings nestled across 120 acres overlooking Blue Mountain Lake, our open-air campus offers everyone something to do. Step into the rich history of this region as you row an authentic guideboat, break up a logjam, climb a classic ADK fire tower, or enjoy a family-friendly hike to Minnow Pond.

We encourage you to review our Visitor Code of Conduct and KNOW BEFORE YOU GO FAQs before reserving tickets.

There is an abundance of free parking at ADKX.  A convenient electric charging station is available, first come, first served.

Our campus offers more than 20 buildings and structures spanning approximately 121 acres. Visitors can often spend a few hours at a single exhibit, while others may explore at a more rapid pace. We recommend a visit of at least 4 hours to experience the ADKX.
