Very engaging and interactive experience! Our whole family loved this museum, inside and out.

Wonderful museum...lots of educational information about the history of America, presented in a lively and interesting manner. Its a winter Sunday when we visited so the tourist was not so many and we could spend a good quality time both indoor and outside. The staff and volunteers in dressed native costumes were friendly and knew their duties of work very well. Highly recommended to those who are interested in history and heritage. Thank you very much.

This place was a perfect combination of history and entertainment for my kids ages 5 and 2!! Very engaging and interesting for adults as well.

We had a great time and learned so much. Our guide Christine had a natural ability to convey information and answered the many questions we had.

I was called to the site by my company. Im a security officer, and it was a very educational day. They have progressed so much over the years. It has been 20 years since Ive last visited Jamestown, and at that time I was a student. It brought back wonderful memories; of the experience I had when I first visited Jamestown. I would advise that all adults and children visit and experience Jamestown Settlement.

The preservation of Virginas history and the candid details was truly a wonderful educational experience.

There is alot to learn here. But this is a big place and needs more seating. Also it was very dark and could use more lighting.

Went with my son and his fourth grade class for a field trip! It was awesome!!

Wonderful learning experience for all ages

Very family friendly and the staff is great with kids if all ages.

Excellent exhibits and knowledgeable staff.

They have done a fine job preserving history but also story telling.

Great times. My 5 year old son loved it.

It is ok. very educational.

Wow! Had never been to Jamestown before and this was a real treat. To preface - this is NOT the site of the original colony but its an excellent recreation amd living history museum. The costumed interprettors were very knowledgeable and the sites were well done. The main facility also contained an outstanding museum and artifacts. Learned a great deal from both the museum and the walkthrough. Kids really enjoyed the trip. Fun and affordable. Easy way to kill a half day.

Great place to visit if you like History

Amazing place I love people nice

Fantastic fun and history combined!

We came with our homeschool crew to take advantage of the cheap admission special for homeschool families. We took a tour and had a great time. Eric Ely wad our guide and was very knowledgeable and had great engagement with the kids. I highly recommend all homeschool families take advantage of this if they can. We go to Yorktown later in the week. So excited! The boys especially liked the musket firing demo.

Very educational and interactive.

A great place to learn about the settling of our Great nation.

Love history, so truly appreciated this opportunity! To be able to see how people lived and traveled in the 1500s is astonishing!

Jamestown Settlement. The Powhatan Village. Wonderful. I highly recommend.

Excellent learning environment for colonial times

So much to see, need more than a weekend! Great trip for the girls. They really enjoyed it.

What a wonderful way to experience history!

We loved it and would revisit again!

We were looking for the National Historic Park and found our way here since it was the 1st stop. I would have appreciated knowing that the actual park was down the road and that this was a for-profit adventure before we paid the admission

Put this on your bucket list. It is a great trip and a lot for children to learn. I love to travel all over the world but you must start at home. So much is free or cost very little. We have plenty of places here in our own country likeThis that you can plan a trip every year.

The blacksmith Vincent was my favourite part. Knowledgeable and engaging. Will return.

I was here many years ago and it was great then, but now it has an interactive museum and even more to see. If you have a chance to go on Thanksgiving for their reenactment, go. It was highly memorable.

Terrific history lesson. Im downgrading it one star because you could hardly move for the groups of kids, who were actually much quieter than the adults shouting at them to behave. Love that there are kids here, just makes it difficult to walk around.

I LOVE Jamestown! It offers so much more than the wonderfully rich historical perspective of our nations birth, its also a fantastic place to be if youre an avid cyclist. And if you happen to be both a historical buff and an avid cyclist, then its nothing short of heaven on earth!

Great information hub for the state of Virginias foundation (historical inaccuracies aside). Movies, shows, reenactments and historical documents from famous/infamous figures in American history. Good cafeteria as well.

Had A nice time bb with my Daughter and grandchildren

Very nice place to visit, whether your local or visiting. We did the full-on tourist thing and went to see the ships, and the Native village and the reconstructed fort and it was all very amazing. The museum is very nice also, but the exhibits of how the early settlers live were just unbelievable. There are demonstrations of everyday life and even musket and cannon fire.

Great history. Replica ships were the best.

Really enjoyed the settlement area, Indian village, and ships. Didnt have enough time to really walk through the museum.

Fantastic facility. Loved Tenacity. Great guide, but needed a microphone. Could not hear everything. Very well done.

This is an educational and entertaining museum. Very informative presented in an interesting manner. Inside and outside areas. Scooters available, first come first serve. Simple cafeteria. Short movies. Great for kids and adults alike. Worth a visit. Could need 2 days so as to break up the intensity.

We travelled there by bike from Williamsburg on the Colonial Parkway. Very scenic and easy 10 mile ride. The museum had very interesting exhibits. Outdoors, the re-creations of Jamestown settlement, the Powhatan Indian Village, and three ships that brought the colonists were realistic. The staff that were in character, were very knowledgeable. Great for kids.

Cool gifts got a shield for the kiddo and it didnt last long. Would have paid more for something more than a plastic shield if they had it. Otherwise everything else was great, no complaints.

I love the entire story of Pocahontas so naturally Id love Jamestown. Only downside, the people portraying Native Americans were just white people in native garb. One dude looked like an accountant with his glasses and all. Not to be rude but it kind of kills the vibe.

Beautiful and comprehensive museum, knowledgeable (and funny!) guides, well worth the trip again and again, esp for history buffs. Ive lived in Virginia for 14 yrs and I never get tired of visiting Jamestown.

A true step back into colonial American history! The sacred landscape embraces your passions for the pure pursuits of liberty and freedom. Whether your standing in the ruins or staring at the old church, your heart is sure to burn with thanksgiving for the bravery of our forefathers.

This was an amazingly well done museum and replica fort about Jamestown. Exhibits were fun and entertaining and we really enjoyed our stop here.My son loved the replica ships in the harbor and watching them fire off a musket in the James Fort.There were a lot of school groups here but they did a great job at managing them so that even visitors not with the school groups had a great time.Would definitely recommend stopping here.

Really nice place. Spent several hours. Personnel were nice and very knowledgeable.

Lovely museum/discovery park. Native American village, Jamestown Fort, replica ships -all can be explored on your own with plenty of interpreters in costumes to demonstrate skills and make your exploration more pleasurable. Very nice cafe.

Participated in a group tour with my sons middle school class. We didnt spend as much time as I would have liked, but Mr Fuss was a great tour guide and packed in as much as he reasonably could, during the time we allotted him. Great history here!

Love this area. Some original ships, exhibits, a church, digs for relics from original settlers. THIS IS THE SETTLEMENT FOR THE FIRST COLONY IN AMERICA!!

Great layout. Loved the fort. They did a very informative demonstration about firearms and tactics. The wealth of information that the staff has Is amazing.

A very interesting place to visit. Historic Jamestown is a recreation of the original Jamestown based on recorded history. It is run by the state and while it has a fantastic museum the live history portion feels a bit neglected. I still recommend it just for the history lesson. Buy the 4 park ticket and visit the real settlement location along with the Revolutionary Museum at Yorktown and the actual Yorktown battlefield. Take sunscreen, bugs pray and plenty of water.

Great experience. Good place to start teaching your children colonial history.

Excellent education and family fun experience. Very helpful and friendly staff. Explained history very well. Will definitely be back!

Enjoyed this very much! Our 5 year old granddaughter loved this place! Lots of walking. Nice museum. Nice displays.

Strict adherence to the eras authenticity was by far and away my favorite facet of Jamestown and the aspect by which I was most impressed. I commend the interpreters on their commitment. I cant recommend this establishment highly enough.

I cant praise Jamestown Settlement enough! You will spend ALL DAY here and need to come back. So much to do. Three huge historic outdoor areas: fort, native village, and dock. Well made videos. The museum alone takes a day! Cafe. Gift shop. Programs throughout the year. Go at Christmastide. The Lord of Misrule is hilarious!

Wonderful presentation and museum. Real ships, Indian village, and fort. Be aware that, as nice as it is, the real location of Jamestown is the park down the road.

What a fun learning experience! Great outdoor sites and activities. You have to visit.

Awesome history

Great exhibits. Uncrowded on an early January weekend.

Really amazing re-creation with knowledgeable actors who do great demonstrations. We really enjoyed this visit!

Wonderful displays and immersion in history.They also have Military Through The Ages each winter/spring; where reenactor groups come together in a huge display of military groups from Roman Empire, to modern day military might. Worth a full day!

Enjoyed it very much. Field trip with granddaughter. Our guide was knowledgeable about the settlement plus very patient with the students in her care.

Was a great way to spend a Thanksgiving weekend with my family. Loved it.

Very cool if you are into the history of this great nation. The tour guide was very informative and had a great sense of humor.

Amazing time. Had a class field trip and our tour guide Lauren really made it worth it. She was awesome at getting the kids involved and was very knowledgeable. Cant wait to go back and have Lauren show us around again.

Great presentation of history. Do not miss. Great staff.

Our trip to Jamestown was amazing! So educational and fun. So the children was able to enjoy some history. Since they had fun, they will more likely remember more about the history they learned. We will definitely return.

Pro: Fun, educational, interactive. The tour is especially interesting. Staff is helpful and accommodatingCon: The tour is 1.5 hours so taking little children can be a challenge. The season determines how much, or how little, you can wander around.

Havent been since my own 4th grade field trip many moons ago! Great field trip with my kids school. Great tour guides, especially Ginger at the Jamestown site (NOT the settlement with reenactors...the actual Jamestown where they have digs).

Its not bad. At lot of information about history of Jamestown to be found. Bu

The staff is helpful, and the services for disabled guests was top notch. They had me set up quickly and I was able to easily enjoy my visit.

The museum, Jamestown Settlement, sailing ships, etc are something everyone should see to appreciate the founding of this country.

Very close. Do not go on a hot and humid day. Makes it hard to enjoy this really neat place.

I was a history major in college and it was great to see history come alive. And seeing the reproduction of what it was like in the day plus seeing the ships in the harbor told the great story.

Great for kids of any age. Had a blast.

Teach history to all accurately in way is was then and how came to be now.

Really made me think about how important American history is.Wish I had more time to spend there.Tenacity:Women in Jamestown and Early Virginia is a thoughtful, worthy exhibition. Try not to miss it!

Great place and highly recommended. Excellent museum and reconstructed living museum outside. Powhatan Indian village, reconstructed Jamestowne, and reconstructed 3 ships carrying original settlers. Must see.

Lots of great exhibits, the interactive outdoor settlement are very informative & the actors are very knowledgeable I would recommend this place as a must see when visiting Williamsburg Virginia.

I was part of a reenactment group, known as The Appin Regiment here, and the establishment here is beautiful!

Fantastic historical recreations. Completely changed my understanding of American History!

Wanted to see more history not just pictures and movie

So disappointed!! Everything costs a fortune to even get in. With 5 kids we just couldnt afford to go inside. They should have some kind of walk through and then you can pay for activities or something. Or at least make it affordable or have a family pass. At $17 per person with a large family its just too much for some people. Super sad!!

Great history and exhibits!! Lots of wonderful information! Everything was very clean and kept up! Family friendly for sure!!

Great place to visit! Indoor and outdoor exhibits. A great way to experience history.

Its an ok place but it just takes a bit to do stuff. Great staff thoThese are some cool toy guns from that time

Tour guides were very fun and answered all questions. It was a fun learning experience!!

Had a blast. Went on a fifth grade field trip and really enjoyed it. Learned soon much!!

Nice! Tour guide is about moving you on

History lessons abound! You get lucky when you come upon interpreters dressed in costume. We were trapped with Sir Yeardley in the Jamestown church during a thunderstorm during the 400th assembly anniversary and it was excellent! This particular interpreter is brought in from Britain 3X a year. Catch him at Christmas! The whole place is pretty amazing and you leave with a new sense of being part of something great, the USA (known as Virginia by the colonists at the time, yes the whole USA was called Vurginia!)

Great, with family. Ice cream at cafe after as awesome.

Tenacity was a great exhibit. We really appreciated the tour by Bly and Kate, giving us great insight into how the exhibit was done and some of the backstories on these amazing women of Virginia history.

Great field trip. Best field trip of my life per my 1st grader.

Well maintained. Staff friendly and knowledgeable.

Hands on experience on relic of sail ships was an experience of a lifetime.

The museum at the settlement would probably be good, except the exhibits were removed for impending Hurricane....Accessibility, however, is not high on rhe list.

Amazing reproduction! I have four children ages seven, five, three, and two and we homeschool. This was absolutely amazing! We can touch everything and for the first time in a long time I was able to let them play with all the things that we saw! We loved the Indian village, the fort, and the boats! And the museum was interesting enough that it was able to hold their attention for a brief period of time :-) my husband took them out so I can finish walking through the exhibits because they were immensely interesting to me! Overall this was very well done and totally worth the money spent! I cant recommend it highly enough!

Great history lessons to be had. All of the visual/buildings in place are great.
