⚠️ SUNDAY DUCK VIEWING CANCELED
The World’s Largest Rubber Duck will NOT be available for viewing today, Sunday, August 23, at Park Station.
The Big Duck Company has determined that the forecast for increasing winds and rain this afternoon makes it unsafe to inflate and operate the 61-foot World’s Largest Rubber Duck. As a result, today’s planned duck viewing from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM has been canceled.
Please do not travel to Park Station today specifically to see the World’s Largest Rubber Duck.
Park Station remains open for normal Sunday operations. This change affects the World’s Largest Rubber Duck only.
We understand that many families planned to visit today specifically to see the duck, and we apologize for the disappointment. The safety requirements for an inflatable of this size must come first.
We also want to thank the thousands of residents and visitors who joined us Saturday for the Chemung County America 250 Celebration. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the event possible and everyone who came out to celebrate with us.
Please share this post to help us reach anyone who may have planned to visit the duck today.

ATTENTION: See the World's Largest Rubber Duck at Park Station!

Due to wind gusts this morning, the World’s Largest Rubber Duck is not yet inflated. We’re monitoring conditions and reevaluating the situation hourly, and we’re hoping to get her up as soon as possible.

Good news: the duck will definitely be up by 4pm for the Chemung County America 250 Celebration! 🇺🇸

If you’re coming out early for duck viewing, thank you for your patience, and we’ll keep you posted as things change throughout the day.
