Williamsburg, Virginia 23185

Set in Williamsburg on the William & Mary campus, the arena sits about 50 miles from Richmond and roughly 150 miles from Washington, DC — an easy drive for regional fans.

• Parking: ADA accessible parking is located behind the arena. Parking options vary by event — check the venue's official website or a local parking app for availability near the venue.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Williamsburg.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the start of your event. This gives you time to park on the William & Mary campus, pass through security, and find your seats without rushing. If you require ADA parking, use the lot behind the arena and follow campus signage to accessible entrances.

Kaplan Arena is an indoor venue, so weather is rarely a showstopper — but it’s smart to account for the season as you make your way across campus. Expect generally flat walking routes and ADA-accessible paths, and consider comfortable footwear for a short walk from parking areas to the entrance. If you’re meeting friends, pick a clear landmark before you arrive to streamline your entry.

For peak-time games or popular Kaplan Arena events, build in extra buffer time for campus traffic and pedestrian crossings. If you’re using rideshare, communicate the dropoff point ahead of time and coordinate your pickup after the show to avoid delays. A little planning goes a long way toward a smooth, stress-free arrival.

Venue Navigation

Kaplan Arena is part of William & Mary Hall — the university’s main indoor athletic facility — with a flexible layout that supports both sporting and entertainment setups. Wayfinding is straightforward, with ADA-accessible routes available to help guests move comfortably between entry points and seating.

Because configurations can change from one event to the next, follow event-day signage and staff guidance for the quickest paths to your section. The terrain around the building is generally flat, so getting around is comfortable for most guests. If you anticipate more walking, opt for supportive shoes to make your experience even better.

Security and Policies

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early to navigate campus parking and security smoothly.
• If you need ADA parking, head to the lot behind the arena and follow accessible routes into the building.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a day of it by pairing your visit with nearby Williamsburg attractions or a great local meal. Merchants Square and the historic district offer countless spots to gather before or after Kaplan Arena events, so you can turn a game or concert into a full outing with friends.

Traveling with a group? Coordinate your meet-up spot and entrance in advance, then use Ticket Purchase tools to compare sections together — it’s an easy way to align on budget, views, and proximity. If you’re celebrating a milestone or bringing a mixed-age group, plan for a slightly earlier arrival to accommodate parking, campus walking time, and a stress-free entry.

If you’re visiting from Richmond, DC, or beyond, consider building extra time into your itinerary to explore Colonial Williamsburg or the William & Mary campus. It’s a scenic backdrop that adds even more to the live entertainment experience.

Accessibility

Kaplan Arena offers ADA-accessible parking behind the arena, accessible seating options, and building accessibility with ADA routes to help guests move comfortably to their locations. For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
