This place just keeps getting better - Still a number #1 place to visit. We came to see the beautiful Christmas decorations. We ate at Christina Campbell’s food was amazing then to a concert at the Governor’s Palace. Everyone was so accommodating and nice. There is an ice skating rink set up and all the houses have lights in the windows at night. Felt like a Bridgerton evening in Williamsburg.

Fascinating and entertaining - Incredibly fascinating, especially if you have any interest in history. The volunteers and staff were all amazingly knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. We visited a sampling of the craft shops and houses, and had a great time watching, talking, and learning. Only had about five hours to spend as we were on our way somewhere else - hope to go back and spend a couple days sometime.

Step Back in Time! - We really enjoyed our visit to Colonial Williamsburg. We took a ghost tour our 1st night that was informative & enjoyed. Our 3 days there were filled with going from house to house touring. But our most enjoyable time was spent listening to the individuals who were speaking as historical figures of the time.

Weekend after Thanksgiving - My husband and I enjoyed our visit to Colonial Williamsburg, though chilly and windy. Enjoyed talking with the people in the buildings - very informative. Will definitely come back.

Parking Fees - Really? - We are long time visitors of Colonial Williamsburg. We love coming here in all seasons especially during Christmas. We are most disappointed with the new charge for parking at the visitor center. If you are going to charge for parking, those with annual passes should be able to park for free or at a discount. Also the parking should include in-and-out fees. Many people (especially with little kids) park for the morning, leave mid-day and come back in the evening or something like that. It is crazy to have to keep paying hourly for such a parking scenario. It can easily add up to more than $10/day for parking if one wants to leave for a few hours and come back. Parking fees at the visitor center is a very bad decision by Colonial Williamsburg.

Somewhat disappointed - I came away under-impressed. Of particular note is the $75 carriage ride that lasted 15 minutes ($5 per minute). The driver said little about what we passed. We felt ripped off. It put a taint on our visit. Williamsburg was impressive in its buildings for historical value but the overall takeaway (2 days) was it fell short. High prices and under performance. With a couple of exceptions, the employees seemed unmotivated.
