We went to Williamsburg and had a great time. This is a trip for older kids, at least third grade and who like history without getting bored fast. Wear comfortable shoes, lots of walking. If you stay at one of the hotels run by Historic Williamsburg, access to the "Triangle" (Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown) is as easy as going to Disney.They have free shuttles that run very often, the only drawbacks, is flying into Richmond (40 minutes away) and having to return to the Williamsburg Visitors Center to which buses to the other two locations. We stayed he at the Woodlands Suites, separate room with TV for kids, pool (indoor and outdoor) and free breakfast. There was a great family restaurant on the grounds "Huzzah" with plenty of choices even for picky eaters.Lots of local beers and wines as well. The "historic taverns " are great but expensive and limited kids menu.

Not to miss!!!Children's Orientation Walk, Court of Tar and Feathers,Theater for the Young, Fife and Drums March , Order in the Court,African American Music,Lets go to the Farm, these are all in Williamsburg and can be found in a free brochure "This week in Williamsburg", some require extra cost.

Jamestown has a tour of the Settlement with Indian Village and artifacts found from "digs"

We never made it to the Yorktown battlefield as we were so busy and many other exhibits at both places we did go to that we missed. Will for sure make another visit
