The Normandy Visitor Center will be closed to the public beginning February 4, 2019 due to a total renovation of the exhibit space. It’s anticipated the visitor center will re-open in early May 2019. As part of the effort, a portion of the parking lot will be closed beginning in late November 2018 and lasting through the duration of the project. Restrooms will continue to be available onsite. Temporary restrooms will be in place beginning in January 2019. Despite the scheduled construction work, site staff will have a temporary facility to welcome visitors and next of kin.

The cemetery grounds will remain open, and the cemetery hours of operation will remain the same.

ABMC appreciates the public’s understanding as it relates to this closure. The agency is working to bring an excellent experience to future visitors.

The President and the board wish you a very happy new year 2019

As of Monday 11 June 2018, a last admission policy will apply at the Normandy American Cemetery Visitor Center, as it does already at the Normandy American Cemetery.

There will be no admission in the building after 17:45during the summer hours [summer opening time : 9.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m.] and 16:45 during the winter hours [winter opening time : 9.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.].

The Visitor Center will, nevertheless, remain open until 5:00 p.m. (winter) // 6:00 p.m. (summer) for the visitors already in. It will avoid some disappointment, the visitors coming in a few minutes before the closing time being asked to leave without having the opportunity to really see anything.

Due to the bad weather conditions, walking on the lawns of some of the plots at Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer temporarily isn't allowed.

More more informations, please contact the cemetery at +33 2 31 51 62 00.
