 Colonial
Williamsburg extends a special welcome to visitors with disabilities. We
want every visitor to experience and enjoy Colonial Williamsburg, regardless
of restricted mobility or disability. If you have special needs, please
let us know.
Our 21st-century Visitor Center, hotels, restaurants,
and shops are largely accessible, and we are
prepared to make special accommodations when
necessary. Special parking arrangements are
available for easier access to the Historic
Area.
A limited number of folding wheelchairs are
available at the Visitor Center. These are rented
on a first-come first-served basis. The rental
fee is $7.00 per day and a credit card imprint
is required as a deposit. No motorized chairs
are available.
Wheelchair-accessible restrooms are located in the following buildings:
- Visitor Center
- Williamsburg Lodge
- Merchants Square Information Station
- Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum
- Bassett Hall
- Public Hospital and DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum
- Historic area locations:
- Adjacent to the Magazine on Francis Street
- Botetourt Street between Duke of Gloucester St. and Nicholson
St.
- Palace grounds near the Wheelwright
- Between the Capitol and Waller Street
We recognize, as we hope you will, that the nature of the Historic Area
may impose certain restrictions on some of our visitors. Within its 301
acres are eighty-eight surviving 18th- and early 19th-century
buildings and other buildings that have been reconstructed as accurately
as possible. Unfortunately, 18th-century architecture may present
difficulties for some visitors with disabilities. On the other hand, the
Historic Area offers the advantage of very few curbs, and automobiles
are not permitted on the main street during the day. Costumed interpreters
in the Historic Area will be glad to provide directions to accessible
areas.
