Parking for W&M Visitors

Visitor parking is available in multiple locations on and near campus, with convenient mobile payment options and a designated lot for admission events. Parking availability may vary throughout the day, so planning ahead and allowing extra time to find a space is strongly encouraged.

The university has implemented Passport, a pay-by-phone app option to simplify visitor parking on campus. Visitors may park in any one of the designated areas and establish a pay-by-phone session to cover the cost of parking. The minimum session is two hours, and the rate is $2.50 per hour.

During our heavy weekday visitation times, we recommend that you park off campus in the Colonial Williamsburg P6 parking lot located nearby at 410 Francis St. W. There is a $2 per hour fee, and our campus visitor parking permits are not honored.

For more information on visitor parking and transportation, including parking at VIMS (Gloucester Point), visit the Office of Parking & Transportation.

Dozens of parking lots across campus are available to visitors. See the parking lot map (pdf) for more details.

The W&M ADA Parking Map (pdf) shows the accessible parking lots on campus, including the Legacy Circle Parking Lot directly across the street from the admission office on Jamestown Road.

When arriving for an event or tour, use the Admission Parking Lot and Plant Parking Lot located behind the undergraduate admission office, off of Grigsby Drive. After arriving, obtain a required parking pass from admission staff in the office OR use the parking pass included in your event or tour confirmation email. The parking pass provides free parking in any space designated for admission visitors, faculty/staff, day student or metered spaces on campus. Free campus parking on weekdays may be limited. Please allow extra time for parking.

Exit the Colonial Williamsburg P6 parking lot on the Francis Street side. Cross the street at the crosswalk and proceed left up to the corner by Berret’s Seafood Restaurant. Turn right and cross the street at the first crosswalk. Follow the brick sidewalk up Jamestown Road to the admission office on the left. (If you were directed to a different building other than the admission office for the information session/tour, please follow the campus map directly to that building, or stop by the admission office for further assistance.)
