1 COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG

As road trips continue to rise in popularity, Williamsburg, VA is an ideal mid-Atlantic summer getaway, especially with so many outdoor attractions. Historic Jamestown and Yorktown are also just a short drive away putting a lot of activities within easy reach in what is known as “the historic triangle.” In fact, the region is home to three national parks all within a half-hour of each other. That’s not to mention Busch Gardens Williamsburg, a theme park with lots of attractions for the whole family including adrenaline-pumping rides, shows, animal encounters and more.

Colonial Williamsburg is the prime attraction for visitors. It consists of Old World streets that crisscross around historic buildings and manicured gardens. Go back in time and watch costumed staff enact the way things were centuries ago. Horsedrawn carriage rides pass through the streets and there are intriguing tours of the world’s largest living history museum. colonialwilliamsburg.org
