We loved Colonial Williamsburg. We took the shuttle from the Visitor's Center and ate at the delectable Campbell's Tavern. It was such unique experience and so much fun. We took the Colonial Ghost walking tour at night. The girls, 11 and 12, loved it! There's a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes and enjoy! It's a wonderful community.

Colonial Williamsburg is a great place to bring the family. First time, its worth buying the ticket in order to see all of the actors do their thing and staying on site. The second time we went, we skipped the tickets and just walked around on our own and stayed in a cheaper hotel off site. If you are a runner, you are in luck as this looks like a big running community. Great people, great restaurants. Just a wonderful community.

We love Colonial Williamsburg! Since Colonial Williamsburg is really a living history museum, you’ll be immersed in the 18th Century. First things first, walking around Colonial Williamsburg is an absolute treat. You may be greeted by Thomas Jefferson or even stopped by George Washington. These historic interpreters, known as Nation Builders, portray historical figures. The Nation Builders are wonderful to talk to and indeed keep in character. While it’s free to walk around Colonial Williamsburg, you’ll need a ticket to go inside many of the buildings. If there is a colonial flag outside the building, a ticket is required. If you’re looking for discounted tickets to Colonial Williamsburg, consider staying on property. Get a schedule of events from your hotel. The Fife & Drum March is not to be missed and kids LOVE it! Download the free Colonial Williamsburg App before your trip. You can search restaurants, purchase admission tickets and even book a carriage ride. Also, the app provides coupons and discounts. Parking at the Visitor’s Center is free. If you arrive later in the day to Colonial Williamsburg, consider walking throughout the area to familiarize yourself with the overall layout. By doing so, you’ll be ready to hit the ground running the following morning. We also really enjoyed the Junior Ghost Tour. Just "spooky" enough to be a lot of fun, but not too scary for younger kids. The tour guide was fantastic!
