Hello, We are planning driving tour to Virginia (2 couples) and debating where we should book hotel: in Williamsburg or Richmond. Since they are really close to each other we definitely want to visit both towns. We are talking about 2 nights. I see there are a lot of interesting things to do in the evening in Williamsburg, from the other hand - there are tons of nice restaurants in Richmond. Please help!:-) Thanks in advance!

My family will be visiting Colonial Williamsburg this weekend. I was just wondering if there is anything they do special for birthdays? We will be celebrating a birthday on Saturday and I wanted what we could do. Also, any suggestions on a tavern we should visit on Saturday night? We have 3 young children with us so anything we do needs to be somewhat kid friendly. Any help and tips would be really appreciated! Thanks so much!

I'm going Camping this year in Williamsburg in August, It's down to 2 Resorts. KOA Williamsburg or chickahominy riverfront park, I think KOA is closer to everything like Busch Gardens, etc Koa is Expensive, chickahominy riverfront park Is cheaper but is it clean? Im not to concerned about activities, I am concerned about clean restrooms, etc. Also Does KOA have security? chickahominy riverfront park probably dont so thats a concern I guess.

Group of us late twentysomething/early thirty's are heading down to Williamsburg the weekend of the 24th of October. We're going to hit Howl o Scream Fri and Sat night but will leave the park Saturday night around 10pm to check out some of the nightlife in Williamsburg. We are staying at a hotel on Richmond Rd and would be awesome if i can get any advice on a 'pub crawl' for that area. Also if there are any clubs for dancing in the area, i could sure use the info thanks!

I would like all the advice I can get on what to do in Williamsburg, VA. My fiance and I are going there on our honeymoon that last week in October. I have looked at all there is to do there and I have no idea where to start. Should I buy a travel package deal or should I wait till we get there to buy tickets? Also advice on where to stay would be nice. We are wanting a nice hotel, but not too pricey. We aren't going to be in it that much so we would rather use our money on other things. But we don't want to stay in a run down place either. We thought about driving out to VA Beach one of our days and viewing all the lighthouses and attractions out there. But we are more interested in the colonial part so that's where we want to spend the majority of our trip. So any suggestions would be great. Thanks Heather Crane/Hendrix (to be)

I'm coming to Williamsburg with a car club and we would like to get out early in the morning, drive for a while, then stop for breakfast, then drive back. Perhaps 30 miles out for the drive. Is there a great place to stop for breakfast along a route 30 miles out in either direction. Preferably a pretty ride. Maybe on the way to Yorktown, Norfolk, etc. We could have as many as 20 or 30 descend on the resturant at one time so we need either a couple of ideas or a large place. Thank you,

My wife and I are coming to Williamsburg next May (2007) for a week and someone told me next year was a special year for Williamsburg. Like 400th anniversary or something. If this is true do you know of any special activities going on that we might want to plan our trip around or is there a good web site to check on local activities. Thanks a lot. Mike S.

Would someone know about the King William Inn (or is it the Travelodge King William?) We have reservations for next May there. We have previosly stayed at the Country Hearth Inn and Suites and have no complaints about that, the location was perfect. I would like to know about the Capital Landing Road area, is it safe? It seemed so last year. What can you tell me about the area around the King William? Any reviews would be appreciated.

We are going in the weekend of Oct 20 and since its Halloween time thought we would get into the spirit and go on a ghost tour. I know their a tourist trap but, it is something for the kids to do in the evening. I found two on the Internet. 1. Run by the Williamsburg organization called: "Legends,Mysteries,Myths,and Ghosts" tour 2. Run by a Private operator called: "Ghosts of Williamsburg" Tour I also saw one in Yorktown. Has anyone been on any of these? Or has an opinion if one is better than the other?

My husband, toddler and I are going to Williamsburg for the first time next week. I would appreciate any suggestions of places to go with my 14 month old. I would also appreciate any suggestions as to dinner resturants. We would very much like to go to one of the colonial resturants. I can not recall the name, but I remember reading that one had a tavern show that was family friendly until 8pm. How about Kimg's Arms or Christina's? Any other suggestions? My son is generally very good at resturants, especially if there is a lot of action. Thanks in advance.

I have been searching for the best flex ticket prices for my stay July 8-July 15. I found the 7-4-1 Flex Ticket: 7 Attractions for 1 Price! Unlimited admission during your stay to Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, Water Country, Jamestown Settlement, Historic Jamestown, Yorktown Victory Center and Yorktown Battlefields for162.20 at a website. Does anyone one know of this combination being offered cheaper or a variation. I have 4 and 5 year old boys and they wouldn't pay a thing. Thanks for any information.

I've not traveled to Williamsburg before, but I will be going there with my wife and son this August 20-26. After a little research, I booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn. It seems nice, and the price was OK - 134 a night. Has anyone had any experience with this hotel before? Or do you like somewhere else better? I'm looking for something at a decent price, but with a good AAA rating. Thanks!

i am going to stay at the govenors inn, but read 2 reviews about the noise level of the trains in the night...is this a big concern or were those people the exception?
