We did not allow enough time for this which was a mistake. Very relaxing place in the day and evening. We arrived late in the day and wondered around and wished we had got there earlier. We did the ghost walk in the evening which was entertaining. Really nice place.
We went for a Faimly vacation, it a very nice and well kept area. The heat is not great go ealry in the day and later in the evening after it cools down or try indoor sights in the afternoon. The actors are very good and try to give an accurate description of the events and history.
We have enjoyed visiting Colonial Williamsburg every time we have been there. It offers a unique historic atmosphere which puts an individual right in the middle of the United States' Revolutionary War era in order to give a wonderful perspective of that particular time period. There are actors in convincing roles of primary figures who helped shaped the country and more general kind of folks dressed in period costume which are found in and around town. The fife and drums performances aren't to be missed, either. The ambiance is also historically accurate with regard to the main architectural attractions like the Governor's Palace and attached gardens, the Capitol, and Bruton Parish Church, just to name a few. In addition, people may also experience the daily way of life for that time period which includes various reenactments and programs. Plenty of town shops, taverns (restaurants), carriage rides (you have to reserve and this attraction costs extra), bakery, gardens, trades like silversmithing, etc. to enjoy while there. Our family also likes the museums which are located close to the main hub and also close and adjacent to is Merchants' Square. We have never come away disappointed from Colonial Williamsburg. Always fun and interesting!
Williamsburg is a great place to visit! Very lovely .. Lots of interesting facts and history.. Like going back in time!
我们是冲着其历史才来到这里的。我和我三个孩子一起来的,觉得应该会比较有趣吧。票太贵了,本来不打算买的,但后来还是买了下午开始的四场历史再现的表演门票。我和孩子们都很喜欢那几场表演,整个区域也都保存地很好,很喜欢。这里的工作人员穿着十七世纪的服装,还有马车呢!房屋都是从古时保存下来的。因为没买票,有的建筑我们没法进去,不过我们很喜欢整个区域的美景。古老的教堂里非常安静,我们还能进去里面看。孩子们还看到了一个古老的邮局。这里有许多的纪念品商店,有卖一些很有意思的小东西。总的来说,我们很喜欢这里,要是能花费少些就更好了。我觉得他们应该稍微降低价格,尤其是小孩的门票。停车没什么问题。我们是在工作日去的,在公共停车场就可以停车。
我觉得在我们来之前我已经做了很全面的攻略,所以我的期望超高——不幸的是落空了。我们逛了一些商店,但发现里面的东西贵的离谱——我老公喜欢收集大啤酒杯和陶制啤酒杯,但认为花136美元买一个小小的大啤酒杯还是太贵了。我们在商店里聊得津津有味,还喜欢这里的监狱。这里很适合学校过来游玩,因为它能告诉孩子们历史,但是我们觉得还是有点无趣。
这里更像是一个古朴的小镇,而不是历史古迹。演员表演得很棒,我们喜爱Pirate Ghost游览;但若再来一次,我就不愿付钱了。没有票也能看到很多东西,来之前我们都不知道。
Discounted tickets, and most businesses/attractions were open. Very small crowds. The Art Museums are worth the admission price by themselves. They could do a better job cleaning up the snow though. Some sidewalks and paths were quite icy and dangerous.
March is still a winter month and not every thing was open but we still enjoyed ourselves. The taverns were open for lunch but not diner so plan accordingly.
这的所有我们都很喜欢。唯一遗憾的事情就是我们不能久留。在这两天我所增加了解的美国历史要比我在中学时候掌握得多。
