    If you stay at a property owned by Colonial Williamsburg, you usually get length of stay passes for the Historic Area which would save some money. I believe you can get up to 2 passes per room.

      Yes, we stayed at the Williamsburg Lodge and got 2 free passes that lasted for a few days, I think

    My son's birthday is in December and we usually go for Grand Illumination. You have to book dinner super early for that time, if you want eat in a tavern. It's one of our favorite things to do.

    Glad that I checked this out. I'm embarrassed to say that I have not been down to CW from RVA yet after living here for over three years and thought I might swing by for a few hours to visit there but now think that I'd need more time, at least a full day. So much too explore!

    Hi. Thanks for your tips. I will be in Williamsburg next year, in June. I' m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I' ll drive from Florida to NY and Niagara Falls. I've just included Williamsburg in my route, after whatching your youtube video. I really thank you for it and so sorry for my bad English, because I am learning yet. See you! Take care!

    You CAN go on the property any time with or without a badge. You just cannot go in the buildings with the flags out front without a badge. There is no gate to go through. Walk there any time of the day or night and enjoy the beauty and going in the shops in the historic area and Merchants Square!

    Been there a lot as I live around 100 miles away. At one time the pricing was set so even a 1 day visit was better buying the season pass. My last trip I bought 5 season passes and took family there. Ruined the visit as my now aged back just could not take it. Love the history and buildings. Not much for kids. Once bought a book on all the restaurants near there and after trying several decided the Cracker Barrel was best. (long ago and I do not eat at the Barrel now). When touring do not fix on the speaker or you will miss a lot of buildings detail. Skip Rockefeller movie but see short Patriot movie starring a young Jack Lord. Jack never played a better part. I bought one of the videos. Sets the stage for your visit. Some buildings close down early so see them first.🦇
