Overall 2 days is not enough for those 3. I’d suggest 3 days minimum. But if you like to fly through exhibits, take a shallow dip in and then move on, maybe? If you only have 2 days I’d stick to CW and Jamestown only

Asking the admission price is a tough one as there are all sorts of ticket combinations. The Historic Triangle Pass for $91 might be best for many, but we didn't go that route as we, as seniors and retired military, with a National Parks pass, did a different combo and came out a few bucks cheaper by actually buying the annual Colonial Williamsburg pass and a combo pass for just Jamestown Settlement and this American Revolution Museum. IIRC, because of our National Parks pass, we got in free to Historic Jamestown and to the Yorktown Battlefield Museum and battlefield, although I would strongly recommend buying the CD for use in touring the battlefield. It was the very knowledgeable cashier at Colonial Williamsburg visitors center that steered me towards this combination, and later at the hotel was amazed that she actually knew just how to save us "lunch money" given my National Parks pass, and senior and retired military status.

The Jamestown Settlement and the Museum at Yorktown are operated by the same non profit and they do an outstanding job at both. The American Revolution Museum is my first choice for both indoor and outdoor activities. If the children have not had an American History class in school, do prep them for the best experience. You can break up the indoor and outdoor time to create variety

There all good. But the Yorktown Revolutionary Museum just reopened this spring with a new building and it's much larger than the old building. It has a cafe inside, and your only a mile away from the Yorktown beach. There are several restaurants at the beach also. To much to do in one day in this area. Try to sneak in an extra day if you can. You won't be disappointed.... enjoy!

Jamestown Settlement is the history of the early settlers and what it took to survive (half did not) those first few years. Williamsburg is a total recreation of Colonial life leading up to the Revolutionary War. Williamsburg was the Capitol of Virginia so it has the history of the founding Fathers and their role before the Declaration of Independence. It is also a good example of life under British rule with the Governor and the House of Burgess. The American Revolution Museum is an amazing place to learn about the Revolutionary War. Issues, battles, people, cultures and debates that led up to and included the Revolutionary War are included. This presentation leads up to the Battle of Yorktown which led to the end of the War. There is a little overlap in these three sites but not a lot and each provides background to the others. All of them have interactive exhibits as well as films and excellent displays of history and the events. There is something for everyone and each place is different.

Without a doubt! The indoor museum is state of the art and packed with so much to explore and experience. In fact I would plan for it to be a rainy day option just in case of inclement weather.

We attended a weekend seminar and had private tour of the museum prior to it's official opening. It is not real big inside and the outside was not finished yet. The inside only took about an hour. Not sure how long the outside would take

Probably some difficulty in the encampment area as the terrain is rocky and Sandy in some area.

About 2-4 hours if you really want to learn about the history watch the movies and do the outside display and presentations. Call ahead and find out the times for the outside demonstrations like firing of the cannons and musket shootings etc.
