Free admission, more for refuge’s Wildlife Drive
REFUGE/DDWS
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge reported that admission to Wildlife Drive will be free on June 19 for Juneteenth. The administrative offices and Visitor & Education Center, including the Refuge Nature Store and restrooms, will be closed. In addition, admission passes turn into a three-day ticket during the summer; keep your pass to re-enter for the following two consecutive days. Wildlife Drive is closed on Fridays, so the passes are good for the next Saturday if the initial visit falls on a Wednesday or Thursday. Admission is $10 for vehicles and $1 for hikers and bicyclists. The refuge is at 1 Wildlife Drive, Sanibel.
