While businesses are required to follow state and local guidelines, each company will have their own policies. Visit Williamsburg keeps track of these guidelines on our Latest Updates page.

Many Williamsburg attractions, including Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Jamestown Settlement, The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, and Historic Jamestowne, are open with individual safety protocols.

Outdoor activities such as beaches and golf courses are open with social distancing measures.

Restaurants, breweries, distilleries, and winery tastings can now open at 50% capacity. Face coverings are required for all restaurant patrons, except when eating or drinking, while all establishment employees must wear a mask at all times.
