Tripadvisors tilgang til anmeldelser
Alle Tripadvisor-anmeldelser går igennem et automatisk sporingssystem, før de bliver offentliggjort, for at indsamle oplysninger med henblik på at besvare følgende spørgsmål: hvordan, hvad, hvor og hvornår. Hvis systemet registrerer noget, der potentielt er i modstrid med vores retningslinjer for fællesskabet, offentliggøres anmeldelsen ikke.
Når systemet registrerer et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk afvises, sendes til validering hos anmelderen eller manuelt gennemgås af vores team af indholdsspecialister, der arbejder døgnet rundt for at opretholde kvaliteten af anmeldelserne på vores website.

The area carries a lot of historical significance, but it honestly feels a little bit empty in terms of actual things to see. There are a couple exceptions, but for the most part the sites nowadays have returned to being wild fields without much trace of what once happened here.

We are so glad we decided at the last minute to visit the battlefield before leaving the area. First it was a beautiful, mild winter day which I'm sure contributed to our great experience. This is so well done, kudos to the park rangers and others involved in laying this out. It's a very well marked and easy to follow trail. This is a driving tour so it is accessible to any level of mobility. If you are traveling with children there are tons of opportunities to get out of the car and run, hike, and play in the outdoors. If you are a history buff you will appreciate the strategy involved and the way it is explained. If you aren't into that you can certainly appreciate the courage and commitment the troops had to liberating Yorktown. We saw deer, drove through a spring fed creek, and hiked along the same trail General Washington's troops moved along. Culminating in a visit to the Surrender Field where there is an audio explanation of what the scene may have looked like when the British surrendered to the allied forces. It's a fabulously couple of hours to spend.

The museum inside has a recreated boat and a few items from the battle. The driving tour used an app. Each stop had a description. You could walk to different spots at each point. There are recreations of what the trenches looked like with cannons and defenses. The stop for the surrender had cannon barrels that were from the surrender. Each one is different.

The Colonial Parkway construction with it’s detours makes the trip from Colonila Wmsburg to Yorktown an adventure. The NP visitor’s center is not easy to find from the waterfront road in Yorktown. The visitor’s center video was not available and a volunteer docent said it was high school level anyway. Battlefield markers were generally easy to find. Driving across the creek dam and following the woods road was an adventure. Not overly impressed with the park.

We had a hard time following the directions for the route. It goes through a lot of areas and it makes it hard to find the signs. It was nice being at the site where Washington basically won the war for us.

Took the kids here. Its a nice tour where you drive around to different sites to see. Download the Yorktown NPS visitors app, and then as you are driving to the different sites on the tour there are audio clips that play on your phone as you are coming up to each site. Be sure to then visit the American Revolution museum nearby, they have an IMAX-style video about the battle of Yorktown to watch that really brings home what you saw on the battlefield site visit.

What a disappointing area! I was hoping to see more visualization of areas of siege, encampments… but, no, small plaques. This is the absolute most important battle for our independence, yet areas have little demarcation to help us visualize the super defenses as directed by General Washington and the French who so valiantly helped us win independence. To me, this representation of our valiant soldiers and French and Germans is a poor representation. In addition, the rangers at the Yorktown visitor center were less than friendly and informative…what a disappointment when the rangers should be : energized excited to share their knowledge with visitors, No MATTER HOW MANY visit it’s, as most of us are first time visitors!!!!!
As a VIP in my park, I have watched Rangers exhibit excitement and enthusiasm in giving visitors highlights of our NPS park, and they do it hundreds a time a day!
Signage is poor and the driving map given at Visitor Center is incomplete.
Won’t visit here at Yorktown ever again!

Old Yorktown was destroyed by the battle near the end of the Revolutionary War with Great Britain. However the layout of the old town had been re-created and was interesting walk through. A free tram service covered all the rest of the area including the Battle museum. The battlefield area required a car as it was extensive but interesting. This battlefield included the "Surrender Field" where the British gave up their weapons. The museum was linked to the Jamestown site and was interesting with an informative video and good displays.

This is always a must see when we come through. The museum/ ship replica inside was extra educational for the kiddos. Hands on is always better for learning.

I have been to Yorktown 3 times before over the last 6 years. The battlefield was well kept. this time - fields are way overgrown and it was hard to tour because of it. It will take a lot of work to get the overgrowth cut back.

Hi, Thanks for the helpful review. Did you happen to notice if they said how long the restoration was going on? We want to go at the end of the month and their webpage does not indicate that it's being refurbed or otherwise unavailable. Thanks very much!

If you see the two hills alone, it takes about 30 minutes. These two hills are a must see. For all the rest, it may take another 1-2 hr depending how thorough you want to be.

Are maps available AFTER the visitor’s center closes? Can one be accessed in a PDF format?

Unsure. But I would guess a battlefield map of Yorktown is likely on the internet somewhere...

Can you begin the battlefield driving tour outside of visitors center hours? (i.e. before 9 am or after 5pm?) I am extremely short on time and am curious if I could start driving around at 8am and then visit the center after it opens. Thanks.

Hi - yes you can. Recommend downloading a map from the NPS site on Yorktown to get you started on where to go & the order.
Each marker also has some placards with historical significant highlights to get you started before the visitor center opens. Hope that helps!

Is there an option for auto tour NOT on CD? Neither of our vehicles have a CD player!
Is there an app or anything you can download to smartphones? The Apple App Store seems to only have something for the museum.

There is no app for the battle field car tour. Take your time and go through the museum first and take a few notes. There is so much information in that museum you will not be able to remember at least I didn't. Start on the car tour there are stops and information signs along the way. They need to upgrade their audio information but I suppose that takes bucks.

How late are you allowed to drive the Battlefield route? Does the road close at 5 pm like the visitor's center?

The visitor center closes at 5pm but the park is open 6am until sunset. Also the historical town roads that are closed for foot traffic during the day open up to vehicles in the evening.

I was by myself so I could move along at my own pace. I did the visitor Center and took my time on the roads around the park, reading each sign. I spent at least 3 hours. I would highly recommend the American Revolution museum on the other side of Yorktown. This would take a full day for both. I would also recommend the Yorktown Pub on Water St. for lunch.

The roads through the battlefield are standard 2-lane roads. As with other battlefields around the country, you stop, park, and walk to the point of interest. At several of the stops there are parking lots capable of holding numerous vehicles. At other places the parking is limited. I would recommend calling the park and asking based on the specifics of your RV. If you have a towed vehicle, I would recommend parking at the visitor's center and detaching for the tour.
If you will be visiting Jamestown (which is nearby), there's no problem, as you park in the visitor's center lot and walk to the site.
Have a good trip.

My dad is over 60 and he was offered a lifetime pass for 10 dollars and is good for all national parks. We were there on a Wednesday and had the park to ourselves. They offer an audio tour so you can move at your own pace.
