Traffic ... What will it take for the light @ 234/29 timing to be updated. This is pathetic. Dump truck traffic and poor timing makes going through the park a missersble experience. Incompetent government at its best. The park itself is beautiful.

Definitely in my top 5 most scenic places in Virginia! Why, you ask? First off, you cannot find a more awe-inspiring inland sunset anywhere, except maybe from the top of a mountain, but point is, the sprawling open fields with a smattering of tall grassfields and the Shenandoahs in the distant background make for amazing views. Parking is also free, and the best part, the whole park is open from dawn to dusk! For most photographers, this is pretty much as good as it gets without having to pay an admission fee or photography permit. For videographers, I suggest visiting the website to get more information, but generally, groups of 5 people are allowed to film without additional prerequisites, but it won't hurt to call ahead to make sure. The visitor's center does have normal business hours so be prepared and use the restroom before visiting outside of that time frame. There's plenty of hiking trails, a few picnic spots, and even areas that allow for horseback riding. Just be ready for a lot of walking and wear comfortable shoes if you're planning to enjoy the several trails here. As for food choices, it's within 5 minutes of some fast food restaurants and a short 10 minute drive to Centreville, which has a wide assortment of cuisines to enjoy. Definitely highly recommended for any history buffs and outdoor lovers. If you're only in the area for a short while, it is definitely worth your time as well!

How far from Fredericksburg

Carolyn O'Loughlin | Oct 21, 2018
Owen Cook | Oct 21, 2018

It took us a good two hours, but that was with Washington DC evening traffic. Expressways can't get you the whole way, so expect traffic lights and 45 mph roads for a fair part of the way.

Jan Clark | Oct 21, 2018
danceswithcars w | Oct 21, 2018

Parts are major roads thru the park, and there is a driveway to the office building with some parking there, walking, maybe bicycling along paths... Check Google maps or something for aerial views, maybe a trail park map on the NPS.gov park site...

Can you bring pets on a leash to the Battlefield Park?

Tom and Hiroko Clark | Oct 21, 2018
Chad Edwards | Oct 21, 2018

Dogs are allowed, on leash only, anywhere except for in the buildings or restrooms. It's a great place to walk dogs because it's uncrowded most of the time. Certain areas do have a higher volume of visitors when the weather is nice, but there are other areas that are less crowded. Just keep them on a leash and bring bags to clean up after them.

Are they open in November

Susan Beardsley | Oct 21, 2017
Brad Fordham | Oct 21, 2017

According to their website, Manassas National Park is open year round, from sunrise to sunset every day. Entrance and parking is free! You should be able to walk freely around the park grounds, and there's a nice mini-museum at the welcome center. That said, there are no park events or activities scheduled for November on their calendar.

How much time will be needed to see and do all one should to do everything well?

Karen Johnson | Oct 21, 2019
Dustin Potter | Oct 21, 2019

Depending on what you want to do. Buildings are monuments are spread across the entire site in clusters. There are lots of trails. Reccomend go to visitor's center, pay the fee, see the movie and the electric map, then look around the museum portion. About 2hrs. Then you can drive to the various main points with some walking. Stone house is not always open. I'd say maybe 4 hours to see all the main points. If you want to hike trails, I'd plan differently, and figure on subsequent visits.
