Visitor Center, Tickets and Parking

Starting your trip off at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor center can be very helpful. Once there you will find admission tickets to the historic sites as well as information on the current events and activities the area has to offer. This is also one of the easiest places to find parking and has walking paths or shuttles that will bring you to the historic attractions.

If you’d prefer to bypass the visitor center and go directly to the the heart of Williamsburg, there are a couple of pay to park areas available. There is also parking available around Colonial Williamsburg’s Merchant Square, however most of these spots fill up fast and are time regulated.

The Francis St parking lot is our recommended parking location as it has multiple entrance/exit points and is just a short walk from the restaurants and Merchant’s Square.

If you chose to bypass the visitor center but still want to purchase passes and find some information on activities, there is a ticket office with public restrooms located right in Merchant’s Square. 

Tickets may be purchased online as well, to save time at the ticket booth.
