QUESTIONS? 

I do not have my card, nor do I have a digital copy saved in the NY State Parks Explorer App; can I still get the discount? If you don’t have an Empire Pass card nor a digital version in the Parks Explorer App to reuse, you will need to purchase a new one at full price so be sure and keep your card in the future. Visit Parks Store to order.

I only have a digital copy of the pass in the NY State Parks Explorer app; can I still take advantage of the discount? Yes, the digital copy can be used to renew. Please note that you will not be mailed a new physical card; if you require a physical card there would be a $17.00 replacement fee.
