This was our third trip to Colonial Williamsburg and, once again, it brought colonial and early American history to life. We used two days this time, which seemed like a reasonable amount of time to take it in. My wife and I both thought that the historical interpreters and craftspeople seemed more engaging than in past visits, so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

What an amazing, historical place this is. Beautifully kept up and a real snapshot of life in colonial Williamsburg in the 1700s. Lots of the houses and buildings were open with employees dressed in garb from the period and telling you about life back in colonial times. You learn so much but it didn't feel like history lesson! Absolutely beautiful place to see.

Great historical experience. Learned so much about colonial America. The restorations and reconstructions are incredible.

Took short trip to visit Williamsburg this past weekend. What a great place to go to relax and unwind. Take a step back in time and visit a historical site or just enjoy the country side. Lots of places to shop and a good variety of restaurants for food. Everywhere you go is a friendly face that welcomes you to the area!

It’s a great place to go at your own pace, especially with young kids. You can tour that area at your own pace and if you need a break you can always come back or go to the merchant square to recharge, its as involved as you want it to be

So many things to experience. We enjoys the musket demonstration, the court session and touring the Governor’s Mansion and Capitol. We also found the apothecary, blacksmith, joiner and dressmaker interactions to be very enlightening.

Enjoyed the reenactments of George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette, but my absolute favorite was Patrick Henry. It sparked a desire to learn more about him.

Years ago when we visited here, there were tons of people doing first person re-enactments. This time we couldn’t find any.

If you love history like I do, Colonial Williamsburg should be on your bucket list! I only went for one day because I had a lot of stuff to do on this trip, but honestly you could spend several days here just seeing all there is to see. I was able to go into the Governor’s Palace, Capital, and Peyton Randolph house while also seeing the grounds, but there are tons of places to see here! From historic houses, churches and shops, to re-enactments, you can see history come alive at Colonial Williamsburg in everything they do. Tour guides are knowledgeable and engaging, and the sheer amount of things you can see and do here is amazing in and of itself! I was so impressed with it all.

we finally wended our way to historic colonial Williamsburg, purchasing the $60 tickets which was the way to go: a bus running every 15 minutes dropping visitors off at all of the venues, passes good for 3 days and included all of the attractions - free! Good time, learned things about pre-Revolutionay War facts I never knew from the well-scripted tour guides dressed in 18th century garb. Gave us a sense of deep pride and gratitude for the forefathers of this great nation.
