We've been through both parts of Jamestown - Historic Jamestown and Jamestown Settlement. Historic Jamestown was fun but Jamestown Settlement kept the kids attention much longer. There are three ships to explore and the workers make it all come to life. We had kids aged 4-13. My 8 year old wanted to move much faster than some of the others,... More

There is zero wheelchair accessibility to the village. The paths are dirt and sand which cannot be traversed in a standard wheelchair.

Jamestown Settlement is a State of Virginia experience that shows you what life was like in Jamestown from its inception in 1607 through the colonial era. Great inside and outdoor docent tours. tremendous displays including 3 actual size and fully functional replicas of the ships that brought the original 104 settlers, A reconstructed fort, etc,etc, etc

We coupled this with Historic Jamestowne which is run by the National Parks. We did Historic Jamestowne first which didn't quite leave us with enough time here. Hence, we only had time to visit the Powhatan Indian village, 2 of the 3 ships and the colonist's fort. We were there just before closing time so it had quieted down a... More

My husband enjoyed the museum displays. There was plenty of information. You could spend hours reading the information if you did not have younger children. My 6 and 4 year old had a great time at the forts, the ships and the Powhatan Village. Charge your camera batteries before you go because there will be plenty of photo opportunities.

This was a very inexpensive and easily accessible historic attraction. My wife was like a little girl walking around on the old ships and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Powhatan Village. The fort is cool too but kind of pales in comparison now that the real thing has been unearthed. The museum was one of the most well-done exhibits I... More

Excellent museum displays and the outdoor areas are great. Very good films and gift shops. Take the time to take the guided tour -- you get so much more out of your visit. Learned a lot about the Powhaten Indians and in the actual settlement, the various costumed historical interpreters bring it all to life -- the soldier with the... More

Jamestown Settlement is large and spread out and requires several hours (half day) to enjoy most of it. I am sure my husband would have stayed longer if I could have lasted longer. Jamestown was the first English settlement even before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. There are museum displays, the grounds, the exhibits, the tall ships, the... More

Our family of 4 visited Jamestown 5/8/13, and everyone enjoyed themselves! cost was $16/adult and $7.5/child, which seemed reasonable. There are 3 replica boats which can be toured, with costumed interpreters who were very knowledgeable. They also have a recreation of the Jamestown fort which was interesting but could be better. There were only 2-3 workers and one just sat... More
