People Also Ask
Can I visit Colonial Williamsburg for free?
Yes. You can visit Colonial Williamsburg for free. You can stroll past the 18th-century buildings of the Historic Area, watch some re-enactments, visit select sites, shops, and restaurants; and buy horse-and-carriage rides. However, tickets let you enter historical buildings like the Capitol, and enjoy interpreter-guided tours, demonstrations, and more for a richer experience.
...MoreHow long does it take to see everything at Colonial Williamsburg?
It takes between two and three days to fully experience Colonial Williamsburg. That gives you time to explore all the historical buildings, view museums, browse shops, enjoy re-enactments, and take horse-and-carriage rides and additional tours. However, if you only have a day, it’s still possible to experience some key attractions, plus shopping and dining.
...MoreHow long is the walk around Colonial Williamsburg?
Colonial Williamsburg’s Historic Area is one mile (1.6 kilometers) by 0.75 miles (1.2 kilometers). A leisurely walk around its buildings’ exteriors and shops will probably take around three hours. However, if you’re exploring inside the historic buildings, watching presentations, souvenir shopping, and visiting a restaurant, it’ll likely take a day.
...MoreHow do you spend a day in Colonial Williamsburg?
Start by touring the Capitol, where Virginia’s Assembly was housed, before browsing colonial shops like the wigmaker, armory, and apothecary. After a restaurant lunch, tour the Governor’s Palace, watch re-enactments, and see the fife-and-drum cannon salute outside the Courthouse. Finish with a ghost tour, theater show, or colonial tavern dinner.
...MoreIs Colonial Williamsburg worth visiting?
Yes, Colonial Williamsburg is worth visiting, especially if you’re a history buff or have children. As the world’s largest living history museum, it offers 88 original 18th-century buildings along with costumed re-enactors, craft demos, shops, performances, and more. Visiting is therefore less about charting the past but rather reliving it in rich, realistic detail.
...MoreIs there free parking at Colonial Williamsburg?
Yes. Free all-day parking is available at Colonial Williamsburg’s Visitor Center, just a stroll or free shuttle ride from the Historic Area. There’s also free parking at the Colonial Williamsburg Art Museums on nearby S. Nassau Street. Plus, you’ll find several parking lots close by, some with fixed-duration free parking.
