We bought the combo tickets for the Jamestown Settlement & American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. We really liked both museums. They were very informative and interactive. The museums are divide into time periods and have videos and displays that can be interacted with to learn more. They also have an outdoor section with people dressed in period friendly costumes to explain the life and times of early settlers. Everyone is very friendly. We had a great time. It took us two full days to see it all, a day for each museum.

Awesome place for some great history. They have reenactments in certain areas and a great museum. The cafeteria is open and theres limited areas you can go into. Theres also no pictures allowed inside the museum which doesnt make any sense. Everything else was awesome including the fort and the Native American area.

A great place to spend at least a couple of hours while learning about multiple different things from the Jamestown era. It has amazing museum exhibits and a very cool outside exhibits, old ships, and a nature trail. The nearby Colonial Parkway is a great way to get around to the neighboring sites, cities and towns.

Great place. Knowledgeable staff. Clean, well kept. Varied historical accounts, I love history so that always nice to see multiple points of view. The movies, presentations, digital activities were really well done and easy for people of all ages to get into.Im just upset I couldnt see the Revolutionary War section when I was done seeing everything about Jamestown. So thats up to you how much you want to see and read.

Tickets are reduced to $17.50 right now for an adult because some of the exhibits are closed. You can walk onto one of the three ships but can’t go into any enclosed rooms on it.There was lots to see in the indoor exhibits. Most everyone I saw was wearing a mask correctly. At the outdoor exhibits, there were many employees and visitors not wearing masks.

What a nice beautiful place! Kids ages, 9,7,5 loved it here. The interaction with the employees was exceptional.We will be returning again! There was so much to see and take in for just one day!

We were met at reception by a helpful staff member. Senior rates weren’t on the menu but we received a discount upon request. There was a lot to see and we enjoyed the period dressed partners as well as the videos and displays inside. The gift shop possessed many unusual items. We spent 2 hours there.

Simply worth the price of admission. Really well done. The staff is great. Well-kept up park and educational signs everywhere. The museum is terrific, including the feature short movie. Just love the place. Discounts for multiple days or a combo pack for Yorktown and Jamestown. You can see the entire place in one day so plan to be there awhile. 5 stars!

We really enjoyed this unexpected treasure. The staff was very helpful, yet allowed us to enjoy the exhibits without interruption. They two videos we saw were spectacular. The indoor museum was clean and so well put together. Restrooms were plentiful and clean as well. The outdoor exhibits were wonderful. We enjoyed boarding a replica of one of the old ships they traveled to Virginia in. We also spoke with many of the staff who were Manning various locations throughout the outdoor museum. They were so knowledgeable and friendly.

We arrived here a little later in the day and didnt have time to really enjoy all there is to do. We tried our best to get as much in as possible without rushing it too much. The reenactors did very well. We thoroughly enjoyed the displays and learning some of the ways of life in the colonial period. The museum was very well planned. It was very pleasant walking through and reading the information about the various aspects of life in those times passed. Our daughter enjoyed the native American village and fort the most. I do plan to come back....just dont know when. Thank yall for providing such a wonderful and educational experience.

This was an amazing adventure for both young and old to explore how Virginias first residents lived and the challenges they had to deal with at the time.I was disappointed that the kids couldnt explore the ships fully because they were locked down.The museum was fantastic and laid out perfectly to allow one to explore the historical context of Jamestown.

Well worth the price of admission! Splendid exhibits, films, living history, and copies of the ships that carried the first settlers moored at their dock! Theres something here for every age group from 8 to 80! The food is outstanding as well. Check out their cafe for good food without tourist trap pricing. Enjoy!

Man has this place changed. Unfortunately not as good as what I remembered. Im sure that part of it is due to Covid but only 4 people were outside showing demonstrations of how to make things in the old days. It was perfect weather outside, sunny and 70* . Where was the glassblowing, pottery, farming etc. Honestly wasnt worth the money that I had to pay...sorry guys..

The Jamestown Settlement is an educational experience that you can bring your children to. It is definitely geared more toward children than it is to adults. There are outdoor exhibits as well as indoor exhibits. They have replicas of ships that are nice. They had a special marine exhibit upstairs in a gallery. I dont know if they have those special exhibits all the time, but the one they had today was great. It was mostly paintings of all descriptions. That was my favorite part of the Settlement.

Incredible experience. The inside museum was very informative (but a little long with young kids in tow). The outside replica fort and Powhatan Village were amazing.The replica ships were also very interesting. Just disappointed we couldn’t go below deck due to current restrictions.

A great place to visit and have an interactivelearning experience. The history of this area is amazing to see and experience with the exhibits.

Awesome. We watched the show Jamestown before coming, made it all that much better. Some things closed due to covid, itll be better once it clears.

Incredible talking to full time archeologist that was excited about the active digs and explaining some recently found items. The museum was very nice. The talk in the church by the Blacksmith was also very good.We live in a great country and this helps to show how the Africans Natives and Europeans made it happen.

Great place to know more historical about the people at the time. Enjoyed watching the re-enactments they are knowledgeable and friendly. Also, gallery has many informative exhibit with multiple theaters that you can choose story to watch. The ship is cool too.

Absolutely a must see when visiting historical Williamsburg, VA.We had a pass to do Yorktown as well but did not have time. The exhibit inside and out, to the 3 shop replicas as well as interactive activities outside are just amazing! Children as well as adults will enjoy and learn so much about this great country of ours. So much history. Diversity and nations coming together. You must have an interest in history to fully enjoy. Parking is free. There is a cafe as well as a very well established gift shop. Just a word of advise. Start early as in the heat it is hard to enjoy all outdoors. You can board one ship and learn of the many voyages and those who came here. Socially distance is required right now. Masks out doors if in area where others are not able to distance. Hopefully we will be normal soon and we can return to this wonderful place. Elevators and scooters for handicapped. Very informative staff. Very clean and well run.

We had an amazing day touring the grounds. All the reenactors were great in acting the part and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend a visit if you enjoy a piece of history.

Loved it, although the exhibits were somewhat limited because of Covid. We will definitely go back

Fantastic, interactive museum and fort. The interpreters were clear and touring the ships gave you a feel for the close, uncomfortable travel across the ocean.

I wish they had more employees in the Fort and Indian village to interact with the public. It is early November though, and a weekday, so maybe thats why theres so few.The five or six we encountered throughout the settlement were very knowledgeable, polite and informative.They have signs on the buildings and inside, to give you the facts and use of each location

Really enjoyed talking to the demonstrators! Food was good, but combo price confusing. Gift shop lacked classic, early Jamestown writings. Replicas of the ships very interesting!

Great experience! Would definitely visit again. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Wonderful! The museum was like going back in time. Open inside and out. Has a cafeteria for lunch too! The outside village had costumed reenactors. We were able to board one of the boats and imagine sailing for months across the ocean. Highly recommend to all ages.

Loved it. Took my 11 year old great nephew, he love it too. All employees were friendly and helpful. Would go back. Live in Florida so maybe. My nephew already asking to return.

Had a blast especially watching the settler cleaning and prepping the chickens for the meal. It a great way to spend the day learning about the history of this great land called America. I would highly recommend the trip if you get the chance! I cant wait to bring my daughter here.

Good place to learn about the local history. Kid friendly. Be sure to wear sunscreen when walking out the the ships. There is shade at the Indian huts but fairly open down at the water.

Excellent place to experience early Virginia history

First time back in years. Enjoyed the exhibition building, fort and paspahegh town

Big museum with lots of interesting stuff, also has a settlement where they show you how settlers did the things we do today. Theres ships that you can go through on the water also. I highly recommend Jamestown Settlement!

A very nice collection of exhibits. This place has a cool mix of indoor and outdoor spaces with a very knowledgeable set of staff. Additionally the theater show effects were quite nice during the bacon rebellion show.

Loved it! The only improvement would have been more date markers and explanations, though I know this information may be lost in time and impossible to acquire.

Best museum around. Interactive and diverse in its framing of history.

Great bang for your buck. I had a great time. It was very clean and I learned so many things. You can spend all day here. Exhibits were fantastic. Really loved the theater shows they had.

A little pricey for large families, but otherwise largely worth it. Live reenactors are knowledgeable and answer all questions happily. Lots to see for kids and adults alike. A really great historic site.

Some of things were limited due to Covid-19. But nice visit

Jamestown settlement is a great experience. Engaging history and all the people there were awesome.

Good time. Great demonstrations and movies to help see what things were like in early America.

The indoor exhibit is unbelievable! Really enjoyed. Lots of reading, kids would be bored-my opinion. What was available to look out outside was fun and informative. Worth our time. Reasonable price.

Very educational for my homeschoolers! Highly recommend, the living part outside was a amazing. The people dressed up were willing to tell you anything and talk to you about everything about the first Jamestown settlement. They are very knowledgeable. The kids learned about the first three ships to land in Virginia, the Godspeed, the Discovery and the Susan Constant. There is three outdoor areas: the ships area, the Powhatan village area, and the first settlers area with the houses. There is also a museum inside that takes you through the timeline of the 1600s. They also have an indoor cafeteria for food/lunch items.

Interesting place. Baby exhibits to explore. Informative staff in case you have questions or want additional info.To me, the 3 replica ships are the highlight of the visit.I felt the admission fee was a bit high, though.

This is a place that if you can afford the travel, you should visit this center. It really sticks to the good and bad of the Virginia Company. Some things such as the adaptation of slavery still affects the United States to this very day. Highly recommended.

Excellent exhibits, with knowledgeable interpreters. Loved how personable and pleasant and genuine the interpreters were. The museum, showing the progression and interaction of the different cultures was well laid out. Loved the munitions demo at the fort. The Powhatan village was fun. Will definitely be back to explore it more.

A somewhat historic recreation. They use several different timelines to create the village not one particular timeline. We had an enjoyable day.

This was our favorite place between Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. The history lessons and artifacts were well worth the time. We also enjoyed the walk around the native American grounds, the Colonial Fort, and by the ships on the James River.

Overall a fun time. Covid limited some of the things that were open. Did the outdoor stuff before lunch (and the heat) and then did the inside stuff. The 2 short movies were awesome. Our kids really liked the Bacon’s Rebellion movie.

Great historical site. The museum and displays give fantastic context to the interpretive displays outside. Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful outdoor exhibits with cheerful staff. Amazing to live this close to some amazing history and the first settlements!Everyone wearing masks for anything up close and indoors. Saving the internal tour for our next trip back.

Very nice replica of the original settlements. Theres a lot to do around the area, but this is the main building. Theres plenty of parking and not crowded at all. The chickens roaming around is funny too. There are like three gift shops, a theater, and galleries. You cant take pictures of the gallery, so I guess youre gonna have to check it out yourself.

If you love history, its a must!

They have upped their game big time over the years. Besides a replica of the fort and a Powhatan Indian village and the ships that brought the settlers over there is now a large museum that has wonderful displays.The museum starts with prehistory and then the native Americans who were there. It then goes over the coming of the Europeans and the conflicts that ensued and the hardships the new settlers endured and the poor way they treated the native population.There are different sections that cover how things changed over history. It is easy to spend several hours or more in the museum. Then you have the living museum section with museum staff dressed in period attire and answering questions about what life was like back then.There are soldiers and others in the fort and also people in the Indian village, although not necessarily native American. Even so they are knowledgeable and interesting. You can also tour through the ships that brought them over. They were amazingly small.

Very fun. They rent out mobility scooters for free. The staff is very nice and kind. The living history exhibits are really cool.

We have brought each of our three children here over the years. Great park beautiful location and a piece of our american heritage. Strongly encourage all parents to bring their children so much better than just reading in a book

We were extremely disappointed with our experience. Advertisements were misleading about operations under new COVID guidelines. There were only a handful of employees dressed in period costume for demonstrations and the majority seemed extremely uninterested in interacting and sharing information with our family. We have 4 children under 11 who were looking forward to this living history event. They enjoyed the museum, however thought the actual living history, or lack there of was boring. As a parent, I feel this was a waste of money. The admission price should have been significantly discounted if the advertised events were not available.

A great place to learn the history of this area. At this given time, they are respectful about wearing masks, keeping distance and hand sanitizing. Love the demonstrations, the way the enactors dress and throw themselves in their roles, the depictions and the remodels.

Some of the areas were closed off due to covid but they handled it very responsibly and the experience was still very enjoyable! The museum was very informative and beautiful and the outdoor excursions were incredible!

Very interesting. Easy access and convenient. Get your steps in while entertaining the kids in a hands on experience. We will go back periodically to enjoy the outdoors and see history.

The museum was informative and educational. The living history exhibits outside gave a glimpse of the past.

This is a fascinating museum with hypotheses about what happened to the people who died and the forensics behind their analysis. This museum was very well done and I highly recommend it. Send this exhibit to the NYHS in nyc.

Very educational site with well informed and friendly reenactors.

This place is really well done. Rich in history and information. I highly recommend you visit. The staff and actors are extremely knowledgeable and informative.

Great place to celebrate the 4th of July on the 400 year anniversary of the first arrival of slaves. Humbling and enlightening experiences are to be had here. A nice educational movie was shown and many tributes to our history are here. Ships were an added bonus to be able to board and view.

Great place to explore! The museum is great!

Very detailed, very interesting, very best6 experience. Would love to go again when we have more time.

Great history lesson for all ages. Grandkids loved the live exhibits and ships. Three hours flew by

Simply outstanding. So thorough with information. Allow approximately 3 hours to soak in the history. Plus wear smart comfortable shoes.

Absolutely fantastic and worthwhile place to visit. The living museum was my favorite part... From the native village to the ships to the fort it was all hands on. My family had a blast!

It was very nice. Worth the money. Only thing I would do different is visit in the fall or winter. It was 91 today to hot to really enjoy.

Nice outdoor experience. Great living exhibits

My daughter really enjoyed looking at the square riggers that they had their we also had a good time in the Museum 2 and we hit manage to hit the gift shop by a bunch of souvenirs

Beautiful place. Shows a lot about the history of Jamestown, and the weapons and tools they used.

Jamestown Settlement is an indoor and outdoor museum. Indoor is a very large building with displays telling the story of Jamestown (founded 1607) and notable inhabitants (including John Smith and Pocahontas who married John Rolfe not Smith). We saw a special exhibit on the women who came to Jamestown as well. The outdoor museum included a reproduction of the Jamestown fort (with working docents), reproductions of the three ships which brought the colonists and a reproduction of a Powhatan indigenous peoples village. Everything was done in wonderful detail and our visit was very educational - enlightening. I would highly recommend this museum. If you have a bit of time, you can drive down to the archaeological digs as well and get a good feeling for the locale.

Pretty cool place to visit. All the staff were helpful.. and neat hearing about the original james fort site including the ships tents and a musket demonstration

It was cool to see the history.

Great place! A lot of history. Museum is awesome!

Great faculty. Nice museum and walking tour. Admission required.

Really amazing experience. Definitely worth seeing a place with so much history.

One of the most interesting places i have had the lPleasure to visit

Wonderful visit with knowledgable people. Great time.

If you love colonial history, put Jamestown on your list. Exihibits were first class and covered the important aspects of the early days.

Jamestown settlement was excellent. Even though it rained we still had a great time walking through the exhibits outside.

First class facility. Dedicated living history staff that really know their roles and take it seriously. Hands on exhibits of crafts, ships, weaponry, food that compliments the indoor standard museum exhibits. Beautiful architecture of the main building and plush finish is a bonus. Tons of fun for the whole family. Plan on at least four hours to see it.

Going in Nov made it less crowded and nice mini vacay.

Lots to see and do if you’re into history we probably liked it more than the kids but still managed to make a full day

Great day! History! Spend your day here. Walk around and enjoy the beauty of Jamestown and the James river.

Beautiful. Find your roots. Enjoy the exploration

A nice reenactment of what Jamestown was!! A lot of interesting information and characters are well versed

It was educational and entertaining. The staff was knowledgeable.

Get here early in the warmer months. Visit the outside attractions and then go inside to the museum to cool down and if hungry grab a bite at their cafe.

So much fun for the whole family! Very educational! So pleased that most of the attractions were open!

Love it come find your own piece of history.

If you like to go back to your roots see how this country began great place to show you it up close

I was pleased with the exhibits and appreciated all of the safety policies in place

Lots of fun for kids and adults. Lots of things to explore on your own or with guidance. It seemed more commercial than the national park next door, but turned out to be very historical. Do both for a nice balance!

This is a great stop with the family. Its a little pricey so look for discounts.

Was a great museum, the food in the Cafe was awesome

Wonderful historic adventure for American History lovers.
