Dave TylerAugust 12, 2013Make sure you see the movies before hoping on the shuttle bus. It's a good foundation for what you're about to see, and in our case, it really helped to get the kids hooked.
Buying a ticket is the only way to experience all the place has to offer. You could walk the streets for free & see a bunch of buildings & miss 95% of what makes the place the key history site it is.
Britainy LewisJune 26, 2013My family loves Colonial Williamsburg; we've been coming since I was little. The tours are different each time we visit, and all of the workers are well-informed. Highly rec the refillable mugs!Upvoted Dec 23, 2024- Mark AdamsNovember 30, 2018Get an annual pass if u r here for more than 1 day. It’s only $16 more and gives u access to annual member only activities.
James CFebruary 22, 2018Must stop in Williamsburg helps make sure that you hit up everything. Great movie and nice gift shop. Try the historic triangle ticket for discount.- Breon RandonJune 3, 2013Tickets totally worth it. pay attention to the schedule- lots of shops will close throughout the day due to staffing needs so if there is something special you want to see/ tour, make sure you go!
Mike ChambersJanuary 5, 2015Check out the Powell house for lots of kid friendly activities. The area is a great place to just walk around for a few hours. What a gem.- Jonathan SullivanNovember 4, 2014Live re-enactments are well done if melodramatic at times. Most take place from 10-11am and 4-5pm, so plan your arrival time and meals accordingly.
Heather NorrisMay 9, 2013this place was great agreed with prior tips needs 2 days to go through everything but definitely a great place and very educational on how things were in the past- Matthew PhillipsOctober 12, 2014If you already have tickets (and thus don't need to go in the Visitor Center), overflow parking is closer to the Revolutionary City.
Denise DuttonDecember 13, 2011You don't need to take the bus into the colonial area, there's a walking bridge/path. Look down while you walk, there are cool historical tidbits embedded in the concrete!
Todd A WilliamsMay 29, 2015Lovely place to stay. Great staff and rooms. Within walking distance to all the attractions.
JasonMay 18, 2013$42 for a 1-day adult admission?! Most of the historic areas and buildings in Williamsburg are open to the public without an admission ticket. Save yourself the money and support the local merchants.
Lynn MillerMay 10, 2013Visitors Center worth a trip - fab buys on hand made soaps and powders - sustainably produced and packaged!- Matthew PhillipsOctober 12, 201450% teacher discount includes college faculty/staff. Only available in person, but applies to either 1- or 3-day ticket.
Luz MoralesApril 25, 2014Two performances not to miss.. Cry Witch and Pirate Amongst Us Ghost Tour.... Worth the money!
Jennifer L. S. WeberDecember 4, 2012The free shuttles with passes are very nice! Easy way to get around Colonial Williamsburg!
Be sure to make a reservation here if you want to dine at one of the taverns in the restored are!!
Great historical experience. Love the daily programs
Tim NeillOctober 10, 2011If you just want to walk around and not see inside all of the exhibits, you don't have to buy a ticket.
Debbie WhitakerJuly 29, 2014Buy tickets in advance or be prepared to wait a LONG time ridiculous!!! Think they would have a better system
Cory HefnerMarch 31, 2013Tickets are consecutive. Not separate days. The didn't tell us until after we purchased
