I have to agree with the last post. Some of the interpreters and guides were great but quite a few seemed completely bored to be there..Most interpreter only spoke when spoken to and one seemed almost hostile when I inquired about the use of modern lally columns in a building being constructed. The indian village people were not very authentic.... more

If you go check out Jamestowne, the original settlement. 90 minutes with the National Park Guide is one of the best experiences of our trip. He really brought it home! Gave me chills. Jamestorn Settlement is OK, however I found a couple of the guides wanting. An Englishman on one of the ships and a guide we met weaving a... more

We visited Jamestown with our 2 kids, A 6 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. They had a great time. Very informative and at the same time lots of fun for the kids. Highly recommended for families with kids. more

This place is huge, and very interesting. Don't miss the movie before seeing all the displays, as it gives you a great background to them. Kids would really enjoy this place, and there is a ton of things to see, rather than a ton of things just to read. We spent about 3 hours here. So much to take in.... more

Fascinating place. Loved the exhibits and learnt a lot about the first settlers. Our son loved going on the boats and the fort area was also excellent. Staff were very helpful and knowledgable. Excellent restaurant. more

We had so much fun when we went to Jamestown. We had early-teens with us and they loved the interactive things and learning things that backed up what they learned in school. It's a beautiful place. The adults loved it too!! more

Debated where to go and how much to spend. After way too much research on which Jamestown to go to and which Yorktown (there are national parks as well as the private attractions) we settled on starting with Jamestown Settlement and playing it by ear from there. My boys (not yet teens) were fascinated by the living history...the Powhatan village... more

an outstanding, family-friendly site with excellent guides on the re-created ships. It was enjoyable to play in the Virginia Indian village and browse in the fort. Excellent indoor museum as well. Not to be missed on any trip to the historic triangle more
