You can walk around Colonial Williamsburg for free! However, we recommend buying either a ticket or a pass to see trade sites, museums, and important historical buildings like the Governor’s Palace and purchasing Action Tour Guide’s Self-Guided Colonial Williamsburg Tour to be led straight to the city’s top destinations. Colonial Williamsburg offers different tickets and passes to suit your vacation needs. A single-day ticket costs $25 for anyone 6 to 12 years old and $45 for 13 or older. But if you’re planning on extending your trip, the multiday ticket is good for three consecutive days and only costs $30 for anyone 6 to 12 years old and $55 for anyone 13 or older. There’s also an annual pass that’s $42 for 6 to 12-year-olds and $75 for anyone 13 or older. It gives you access to Colonial Williamsburg for a year from the day you buy it.
There are also a few other options, including the Good Neighbor Pass (a special pass for Williamsburg residents), a ticket just for Colonial Williamsburg’s art museums, and America’s Historic Triangle Ticket that gives you access to Colonial Williamsburg, Historic Jamestowne, Jamestown Settlement, American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, and Yorktown Battlefield for seven consecutive days.
