Colonial Williamsburg's 301-acre (122 ha) historic area includes buildings from the 18th century (during part of which the city was the capital of Colonial Virginia), as well as 17th-century, 19th-century, and Colonial Revival structures, as well as more recent reconstructions. The historic area is an interpretation of a colonial American city, with exhibits of dozens of restored or re-created buildings related to its colonial and American Revolutionary War history.

THINGS TO DO 

1. Historic Colonial Williamsburg

Colonial Williamsburg is one of the top things to do in Williamsburg, VA .Colonial Williamsburg is where history comes to life. We visited back in 2010 when Kalyra was only two and a half with my parents. It was a noteworthy experience and we were excited to return to the Greater Williamsburg area to explore it in more depth. I love slipping back to the easy pace of 18th Century Colonial Virginia where cars can’t be found, and only the gentle clip clop of hooves over the cobble stones can be heard.The British certainly knew how to make charming villages.

2. Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a European-themed park with a strong focus on thrill roller coasters!

It’s one of our favorite theme park experiences so far in the US. The roller coasters were epic fun; The Griffon, one of the scariest and most intense roller coaster I’ve been on.

3. Jamestown Settlement

Kids can climb into a sailor’s bunk, steer with a whipstaff, and wander through one of the three recreated ships that brought the first English colonists to Virginia in 1607. Stroll through the Powhatan village to learn more about the Indigenous tribes that lived here before the colonists arrived. Learn the story of the troublesome relationship between the two as the colonists tried to survive and create a settlement and how the Powhatan struggled to accept these foreign invaders.

And as always have a chilled day from the viking.
