8 Places to Take Your Kids Before They’ve Grown Up

3. Colonial Williamsburg

I first visited Williamsburg in the 4th grade.  I thought for sure I’d hate the whole trip but, alas, it was one of my favorite family trips from my childhood.  I laughed when my boys went through the same exact pre-vacation woes and came home talking about all the great experiences for weeks after we returned.  Williamsburg might sound like a boring history lesson brought to life, but it is so, so much more!

Why we love it: Williamsburg is experiential travel at its best!  Not only to you see many wonderful things as a tourist, but you also experience many wonderful things as though you’re part of the history.  This is a must-do for kids before they grow up because it helps to build a real relationship with our American heritage.

What to do:  Get involved!  Join a tour group to experience history as directly as possible through the eyes of “Colonial historical figures”.  You’re children might especially enjoy the child-led tours that give you a unique look at history through the lens of Colonial youth.  Also get involved by joining the militia, learning a Colonial America trade, going on a candle-lit ghost tour, and eating delicious food from one of the various Colonial era taverns. Read more about what do to from Minitime.com.

Tips:  Although there are PLENTY of activities to keep you happily busy within the Colonial Williamsburg grounds, a day visit over to Busch Gardens Williamsburg is well-worth the time!  It was an instant favorite amusement park for all of us!
