Grounds Access

While Chautauqua Institution is not officially designated as a viewing site, property owners, their guests, renters, visitors to on-grounds businesses, Hurlbut Church, the post office or library, and ticket holders for the Total Eclipse Spectacular at the Chautauqua Golf Club are welcome. Starting Friday, April 5, all vehicles entering the gates will receive a hang tag, and drivers must display a visible phone number so we may call you to move your vehicle if necessary.

Gate Hours:
All gates beside the Main Gate will close promptly at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 5.
From April 6 to April 8:
Main Gate: Open 24 hours
South Gate: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Main Gate Walkthrough: Will be staffed on Monday, April 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The iron gates will remain open until 6:30 p.m. for those coming back from the Chautauqua Golf Club Eclipse event.

Parking:
Given the influx of property owners, guests, and renters attending the Eclipse weekend, our intention is to minimize vehicular traffic on the grounds, fostering a safer and more secure pedestrian environment. Those without off-street parking must park in the South or North Lot. The Main Lot on Route 394 will remain closed unless overflow parking is needed. Those requiring accessible parking are welcome to park in the closest accessible spot to their accommodations. If you don’t have off-street parking, please unload your vehicle at your accommodation before parking. Be mindful not to obstruct the road for other vehicles. Once unloaded, please proceed to one of the designated parking lots.
