Traveler advice
Book before you go
Enchanted Rock
Be sure to purchase your day pass online to insure that you're able to get into the park.
What to pack
Bring comfortable shoes
One-of-a-kind shops line both sides of Main Street for 6+ blocks, so you'll definitely want to pack a pair of shoes that you are comfortable walking in.
Getting around
Taxis and a few Ubers are available
Due to the limited number of drivers, wait times for rides might be a bit longer than you are used to.
Getting around
Try to park on Austin St. or San Antonio St.
If you'll be driving to downtown Fredericksburg, keep in mind that Main Street is typically very busy, especially on weekends, so try to park on Austin St. or San Antonio St. Both of these streets are just one block north and south of Main Street, respectively, so you'll be just a short walk from all the attractions of downtown and will have a much easier time backing out when you're ready to depart.
Getting around
Avoid jaywalking and u-turns
The minor amount of time saved is not worth the risk involved nor the possibility of receiving a warning or ticket.
