Trolley & Parking | York County Tourism, VA

Visit Museums, Restaurants, Galleries & More!

Park your car and let us do the driving! The Yorktown Trolley is one of the best ways to see Historic Yorktown. It alleviates the hassle of finding parking close to the waterfront, especially during peak tourist season and during special events. Our drivers will give helpful information about each stop so you can focus on the scenery, the history, and where you want to have your next meal.

This FREE air-conditioned (and heated) service will take you from the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center all the way to the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, making several convenient stops along the way including Yorktown Beach and Riverwalk Landing. Each trolley is ADA accessible.

Where to Park Your Vehicle When You Arrive

Ample parking is available throughout town. Please obey all parking regulations by using the designated County public parking lots (i.e., Administration Building, Courthouse/Finance and York Hall), as well as the National Park Service Visitor Center parking area. Parking on the grass, side streets, post office, and other areas not marked for parking is prohibited. The parking at Riverwalk Landing is a 270-space two level parking terrace.
