Colonial National Historical Park
Colonial National Historical Park also accepts payment in person during Operating Hours and honors valid America the Beautiful Passes (Annual, Senior, Access, Military, etc.). The pass allows entry to Jamestown Visitor Center, New Towne, Glass House, Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center, Battlefield Tour Roads, and recreational areas along the Colonial Parkway. The entrance pass does NOT cover areas of Jamestown managed by Preservation Virginia, e.g., James Fort Site and Archaearium. You may purchase a separate ticket in advance on the Jamestowne Rediscovery website. For more information, visit Colonial National Historical Park's Fees & Passes web page.
Beginning January 1, 2026, changes to National Park Entrance Fees and Passes for non-residents and motorcycles take effect.
Frequent visitors, seniors, military, and others may save money on entrance fees with an America the Beautiful Pass.
Do NOT purchase a site pass now if you have a valid America the Beautiful annual or lifetime pass OR are planning to get one.
