This is an interactive type of attraction for kids. There is a 45 minute video that was ok (but kids probably won't care about this part). The gift shop is amazing.

Very beautiful location with interesting exibits. Friendly and entertainly staff. Lots of stuff for kids...though we were glad for their absence ;)

We wandered around the park for about 2 hours with a six year old and a nine year old. They loved visiting the villages to play games with each other on guessing what noise an animal made, how to put a broken pot together, and learning what types of chores they would have been assigned back in the day.

The site recommends 3 hours to see everything, but with a pair of 7 year olds we burned through it in half the time. I guess it would take that long if you stayed at each interactive exhibit long enough, or had an actual guide with you. Still, lots of fun, great outing for the family and very educational.

This attraction was a lot small than expected. My family only liked touring the ship. We were not there very long. My family of six paid about $50 for this attraction. We would not do it again.

My own personal opinion I found this location to be more popular with children then with serious historical adults on vacation. If you have kids is this is definitely the place to go. Kids can run around all over and even touch whatever they would like to, you can even try on costume. Overall B

It is a small historic site but they do a great job showing how houses were built by the soldiers/settlers, what a ship that crossed the Atlantic was like, and what a typical Native Village would be like as well. Because it's small and hands on it's perfect for families with younger kids. Very respectful of Native American culture.

The kids thought it was super fun and are already asking to go tomorrow. They loved talking to the blacksmith and exploring the replica ship.
