Had a wonderful time at Colonial Williamsburg! Stayed in a colonial home, which is the best place to stay. Right in the middle of history! The new "Rev City" is great. They have actors who portray people of colonial times including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and others. Even some of the interpreters get into the act like Pat at the... More

Colonial Williamsburg is a must do vacation destination. Great for couples or families with children. So beautiful, so full of history with so many things to do. Great shops and a nice variety of them as well. Food establishments are plentiful and very good. Aromas and the Fat Canary are top contenders. Try the local restaurants where they serve you... More

Even if history is not you thing, a walk down DOG Street is full of surprises--activities, events, experience, and food that you and the kids or grandkids won't forget.

This is one of our favorite places to vacation! Always fun, always educational. We especially enjoy the music programs. I would definitely allow more than one day if at all possible to enjoy everything Colonial Williamsburg has to offer!

Okay, we did not eat in the taverns or restaurants in the ticket-only section of town. But we walked a very short distance to quaint shops and restaurants and did just fine. This all... More

Important to see the buildings with guides to tell you about the history, as "just looking" will be boring after a while. All the guides were informative, and ready to answer any questions we...

Pushing a wheelchair on gravel and grass only to find most buildings not accessible is a big turn-off. Also there are no script booklets for the deaf or hard of hearing. They need to improve on accessibility.

Yes you can wander around for free and go into various shops that sell souvenirs etc and get an overall feel for the town and also get into the Merchants Quarter modern shopping Mall at one end but you cant visit any of the main buildings in this beautifully preserved historic colonial town. The fairly hefty admission price c$41 per... More
