The park has more than 26 miles of paved roads open for touring by private vehicle. Visitors with special needs may tour the park on their own with the use of a self-guiding park tour folder or may hire a licensed battlefield guide. Visitors should begin their tour at the National Park Service Visitor Center at 1195 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg.

For Those With Mobility Impairments: Touring may be done in your own vehicle. Private companies in Gettysburg offer bus tours. Wayside plaques and exhibits along the route are partially accessible, on paths and in flat, grass covered areas. Restrooms along the tour route are not handicapped accessible except for the restrooms at the West End Guide Station on US Rt. 30.

For Those With Hearing Impairments:
A free park folder available at the Visitor Center is keyed to the self-guiding tour signs along the park roads. Wayside exhibits are also located throughout the park.

For Those With Sight Impairments:
Visitors may wish to hire a licensed battlefield guide at the Visitor Center. The guide will present a two-hour tour in your own vehicle. Audio stations are located at various points in the park. All monuments and cannon are touchable, and may tell interesting stories.
