Things to Do Williamsburg, VA May 2021

Take a trip back in time and learn what life was like for the early settlers who found themselves making a home in Jamestown Virginia. May is a perfect time to explore what life was like for the 17th century visitors. There is plenty to do and see when exploring the grounds of the Jamestown Settlement. Spend time exploring the replicas of the ships that brought the new settlers to America. Try to crawl into a sailors bunk or give you hand at trying to steer one of the ships. After exploring life at sea, explore the life on land. The replica fort is filled with homes for exploring as well as an Anglican church, the governor's house, and more. Try playing some games in the yard and dress up in armor. After seeing all that the fort has to offer, head to the Powhatan Village. Learn about the life of the Indians and play some of their games while learning how they cooked, made clothes, and more.

I can't think of a better springtime activity to enjoy with the family than the Colonial Escape Room in Williamsburg, VA. Not only is there a wealth of historical knowledge to gain from each room, but there is also a ton of fun challenges and puzzles throughout the experience. I believe May is a great time to take the family to the Colonial Escape Room because it is when the weather in Williamsburg is perfect. There are three escape rooms that are each unique in their own cool, historical way. They also each have a different level of difficulty and require you to think in different ways to solve. Each piece of decor, furniture, and costuming is made to reflect the colonial era with a precise, historical, accuracy. I will definitely be bringing my family back to this Colonial Escape Room next May. Don't forget to take a lot of pictures in front of the decor found in this escape room.
