We didn't particularly care for it. We were bored and left early and did other things. That's not to say you won't like it. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were a few interesting things. We are not really history buffs and probably shouldn't have tried this at all as we prefer more "action" type activities. Still, I don't regret going. Personally, because of the price of tickets, I would suggest walking around a little to get the feel of it and then decide if you want to buy the tickets. The $200 we spent on them was a waste for us.

We have supported Colonial Williamsburg, as a charity, for many years - yet, never had a chance to visit. For Christmas this year, we decided on a visit over 3 days, to ensure we had the opportunity to visit everything of interest and enjoy the attractions during a cooler time of year. Both of us had visited before in the 1990's....and during the summer which is not advisable unless you truly enjoy hot and humid weather. Please note, we did not use one of the many sponsored hotels, rather went into town and stayed at the Hampton Inn....less than a mile away from the visitors center. So, the attractions - they will be as enjoyable and educational as you want. But, we do recommend two specific pieces - the Rockefeller House and Ghost Tour. Other than that, we visited almost every other location without paying a fee. We took the time and planned our day, not to the minute but enough to prioritize what we wanted to see while allowing time to enjoy other "walk in" attractions. Be aware - the food is expensive! But, the quality was good and the portions very good sized. Most enjoyable but beware of the cost. Also, it appears, to my irritation that the locations are open to the public - but you must display your admission badge to enter. Therefore, there were people running, walking their dogs, and a lot of kids who were clearly having a bad day! LOL. But, again, we enjoyed the visit....and highly recommend your visit as well.

The trip to Williamsburg was a delight!! The Christmas decorations were up and the whole day was filled with visiting the shops and just walking around the streets looking at the beautiful wreaths . Lunch was delicious at the tavern and the staff was courteous and so helpful. Brining family to see the sites was a big hit!! Highly recommended
