Although famous throughout the world, Williamsburg is still a `small town'. However... every year more than 4,000,000 people come to visit. Due to its varied, year-round attractions, Williamsburg is one of the most popular Visit Destinations in the United States. Perhaps nowhere else does the exciting story of America's past come to life more vividly than in Virginia's Historic Triangle.
Jamestown is where America began when in 1607 a few hardy souls carved out of the wilderness the first permanent English settlement in the New World. Colonial Williamsburg is the world's premier living history site, an entire town that has been restored to the days when Williamsburg was the political and economic center of the Virginia colony. But Colonial Williamsburg isn't just a museum of restored buildings and artifacts. It's a living community where merchants sell their wares,
craftspeople ply their trades and brave patriots whisper plans for revolution. Our nation's freedom was won in nearby Yorktown, where General George Washington defeated England's General
Cornwallis in 1781 in the decisive battle of the American Revolution.
Our modern-day attractions make the Historic Triangle a timeless destination. Adventure awaits at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, where you'll find 360 beautifully wooded acres filled with over 35 thrilling rides including Alpengeist, the world's tallest and fastest inverted roller coaster and Loch Ness Monster, a double-looping thrill ride. Live shows and the exciting new 4-D high-tech adventure "Pirates" make Busch Gardens Williamsburg a day-long adventure. If you like your fun wet and exciting, you'll love Water Country USA, the Mid-Atlantic's largest water play park. The park features more than 30 water rides and attractions, live entertainment, shopping and restaurants all set to a colorful 1950s and '60s surf theme. It's worth the trip to the Historic Triangle for the shopping alone. With over 150 factory outlet stores, the famous Williamsburg Pottery Factory, and the one-of-a-kind specialty stores at Colonial Williamsburg's Merchants Square, even the most ardent shopper will find it difficult to do it all in one visit.
The Historic Triangle has long been renowned for its top quality golf courses at Colonial Williamsburg, Kingsmill Resort, and Ford's Colony. The recent addition of outstanding new daily fee courses and new golf vacation packages makes this the best family golf destination in the eastern United States. With over 10,000 rooms in area resorts, hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, guest homes, and four area campgrounds, the Historic Triangle has accommodations to suit every taste and budget. Outstanding shopping, dining, golf, and entertainment will make your visit to the Historic Triangle a memorable experience for the entire family.
