No idea how this is only #15 of 89 things to do in Williamsburg area on TripAdvisor! Personally, I felt as though the movies alone were worth the price of admission ($18/ adult). “1607: A Nation Takes Root” was informative and examined the eventual connectivity of three cultures, deeply impacting the future of our continent. The film “Bacon’s Rebellion” was immersive & multi-sensory, with a huge screen and four other screens in front that provided dimensional perspective. Highly educational & dramatic.
The guides/ re-enactors were amazing. All were very well-spoken and our experience was night & day different from Colonial Williamsburg, whereby hardly anyone spoke to us or made our visit worthwhile. In fact, you could really tell how each individual at Jamestown Settlement took their job as being consequential & important, involving both kids and adults.
The exhibits/ galleries at Jamestown Settlement were all worthy of visiting, as well as the ships, James Fort, and Paspahegh Town.
Please be aware that Historic Jamestowne is the original location and current archaeological dig site. I also thoroughly enjoyed our visit there. Only complaint I have was with the separate ticket we had to purchase here, as well. However, both locations are a must-see!
