We have been to Williamsburg numerous times having lived in the area some years ago and had annual passes for 4 years. We loved it at all times of the year and especially appreciated the time the staff took to explain their trades to us and our children. Alas this is no longer necessarily the case. The workers at the... more

We had such high hopes for this place. We love historical sites but this was horrible. It was difficult to find, there are no signs throughout the attraction. The restaurants had huge waiting lines, very few buildings allow you entry with your ticket, most of the buildings are recreated and hardly any had signs of what they were or who... more

Williamsburg is a wonderful place. Steeped in history. When the bus stopped and I got off all I could think was WOW! It was a nice morning...cool enough...and I enjoyed every single thing I did. The lady at the post office was so helpful and I was excited to be able to have my post cards sent home with an... more

We visited with our 16 yr old granddaughter and we all loved it. Had a great time. This was our fourth visit. All went like clockwork as we made preparation by selecting all the reservations that we needed. If you wait until you arrive in Colonial Willliamsburg you probably will be disappointed. Reservations at the restaurants (Shield 's Tavern, Kings... more

Just returned from an 8 day trip with husband and two girls age 7 and 10. CW is a perfect family vacation, which our whole family enjoyed immensely. The costumed interpreters are fabulous-they brought the entire time period to life, and were exceedingly engaging and charming to our children. The kids adored visiting the various tradesmen, especially the printer, shoemaker,... more

We visited Williamsburg at the beginning of Memorial Day weekend, staying two nights in the Chiswell-Bucktrout house. I was a little anxious that it might be a bit plasticky, a bit Disneyland, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Because we were staying at the hotel, we scored 4 day all-access passes for $30 each which was an absolute bargain, but... more

I had wanted to see Williamsburg since I was a child and when a friend went four years ago and raved about it, well, I had to go! It was different than I expected, smaller town area but filled with history of course. I liked that they repair their buildings (or add new ones) by making their own bricks, hinges,... more

We walked thru Colonial Williamsburg and just checked things out. We had decided not to pay the extra money to be able to see EVERYTHING. Maybe had we of had more time, but just for a couple of hours it was great. Very well kept up, and a pleasure to see. more

Unfortunately, we arrived in Colonial Williamsburg around 2 in the afternoon...I wish we had arrived sooner. We did spend the money for the ticket...without it you can see some of the buildings, but can't get into the area where most of the re-enactments are, or the museum. There are quite a few of the houses that are not open; apparently... more
