We spent three gorgeous days in Williamsburg this October. The weather was stunning which undoubtedly helped, but the whole experience was amazing. We bought a one week ticket which covered Yorktown and Jamestown also and we felt that we got good value from what we paid.
There seem to be a few comments about places not being open, but that wasn’t our experience.
We were lucky enough to see some of the actors playing Martha Washington and James Madison and rev Pamphlet and they were all excellent. Really informative and entertaining. We also managed to see almost all of the tradespeople, who were very good also.
The area is so vast that it really needs more than one day to explore all it has to offer. You can walk miles up and down the Main Street but there are plenty of places to sit and watch the world go by. We didn’t eat in any of the taverns, mainly because they were all so busy, but there were lots of other food options in Merchant Square, which was a great addition to the area.
The art museums could justify a whole day alone and were well worth a look around.
We had no real expectations of Williamsburg before we arrived and found it to be so much more than we could have hoped for. As Brits we now feel much more informed about American history, and in particular the struggle for independence.
If you get the chance you should go to Williamsburg.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and detail that is helpful for future guests. We find that when we receive comments about buildings being closed, that visitors are not making use of the Program Guide which outlines the daily schedules for our trades team members. It is available online and just takes a few minutes to plan ahead or stop by and receive an orientation at our Visitors Center. We are delighted you visited all three sites - Jamestown, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg. Take care and we look forward to your return to the USA.
