Historic Colonial Williamsburg is the world’s largest living history museum—the restored 18th-century capital of Britain’s largest, wealthiest, and most populous outpost of empire in the New World. In Colonial Williamsburg’s 301-acre Historic Area stand hundreds of restored, reconstructed, and historically furnished buildings. Costumed interpreters tell the stories of the men and women of the 18th-century city—black, white, and native American, slave, indentured, and free—and the challenges they faced.

In addition, Busch Gardens - located minutes from Kingsmill on the James - is a theme park in every sense of the term … a place where fun comes naturally. The theme is classic Europe, the Parisian streets of France, the hamlets of Scotland and the Oktoberfest celebrations of Germany. In all, nine villages centered around six countries for you to explore. The park features one of the best collections of world-class roller coasters, and live entertainment for the entire family, kid-friendly rides for youngsters and breathtaking architecture and landscaping for everyone to enjoy. Busch Gardens Williamsburg has been voted the world’s most beautiful theme park for 24 years and counting.

Also a place for learning about nature, you can see and learn about Bald Eagles, Clydesdale horses and gray wolves. A great place for kids, packed with classic kids rides, Sesame Street® characters and places to explore.

Located in the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown, and only an hour away from Virginia Beach, Kingsmill on the James has something for everyone.
