This museum is amazing!!!! A must visit for anyone with kids or the history lover💗 it's an amazing experience for the whole family. My kiddos like museum and history so this visit was a one of a kind experience. They loved everything about it. From the staff dressed up in colonial outfits to the stories they had to share. Very educational wish more kids could experience this.

This is the best museum in the Historic Triangle. My husband, four of our grandchildren and I loved it! Don't miss the curved screen theater with smoke effects and the outdoor living history museum. Both are the best in the area!

Tldr: the museum is excellent, but skip the special exhibition gallery (1st gallery on the right when you walk in) to avoid woke nonsense. This museum is great and it's really informative. The people working in the encampment outside were wonderful with our kids and really showed us a lot about what life was like in the army. I recommend skipping the Special Exhibition Gallery. It is full of revisionist history and is written from a bitter and aggrieved perspective. The garbage quote at the end is from a woman who is a known Marxist, which is really out of place in a museum about American History. We wasted an hour of our trip on this woke nonsense because no one told us. This review would've been 5 stars without this exhibit.

Excellent museum with a very well laid out path through history up to just after the declaration of Independence was signed. The guns were the highlight because frankly, who doesn't like them? You really gain an appreciation for what our ancestors went through to gain independence. Highly recommend.

Excellent museum. There are many short videos to see and lovely exhibits. We spent about 2 hours in the museum and learned a lot of new facts. The outside has excellent recreations, too. We enjoyed our day here.

This is a perfect way to end the Williamsburg triangle! I wasn't expecting the Yorktown museum to be so full and interactive! It ended up being our favorite overall! The actors are incredibly informative and super friendly. There are some interactive exhibits for kids, too! We are definitely coming back to do this again!

This is an amazing historical place, well organized, well maintained and well built. I have never seen a museum with so many video presentations throughout the museum. Outside area was so cool with the natural garden, chickens running around and little historical presentations. Plus, they are members of museums4all.

This is a great place to learn about our history and revolutionary war. I haven't read up on it since high school, so it's always good to revisit the past, especially as an adult with a new maturity and different world view. I liked all the artifacts and displays that tries to recreate what life was like.

If you're a history buff or just hava a casual interest, this new facility will capture your attention for hours. Great artifacts, presentations, and live demonstrations of colonial life. I spent 4 spent hours there.

Excellent displays and information. Some interactive elements. Theater-style sessions available. Great stop for our independence weekend trip!

The museum is very well laid out and expertly presented. All of the museums and tours in the area do a very good job at presenting how the countries of Spain and England influenced the early government, cultures, laws, and trades of the early settlers, but could not dictate or control the human will. The story is very well presented of how their early influence affected the course of the development of a new nation, being modified by the commoners in the new land, developing their own culture of human acceptance and endurance and governance. The museum grounds also provide live interactive reenactments of trades, family life, cultures, and military practices. It is well worth the time spent to tour the campus.

The American Revolution Museum was so interesting! All the staff were so knowledgeable and more than willing to interact! The musket demo was so fun! We loved seeing how the soldiers lived and then how civilian life was like during the time! The gardens were flourishing!!

Great museum and though outside reenactment campsite is small it was well done. My only regret was going too late in the day. With kids the outdoor stuff is most interesting and kid friendly. Inside is more adult focused but there was one exhibit where you can type in what liberty means to you and the kids enjoyed that because they show up on electronic lanterns hanging on the tree in the exhibit. If you go with young kids, just set your expectations. Everything is stroller friendly. Would definitely go again without the kids to read more signs.

Overall, it’s really cool to visit and if you don’t know anything about it then I suggest you watch the intro video at the start. We did the combo pass for Jamestown/Yorktown and it comes out to a few dollars cheaper than buying individually, and you can visit for 7 days. Honestly, you won’t need to come back but it’s at least an option. The museum portion has so much information that it’s information overload. They have a few cool displays and there was more interactive stuff for kids than Jamestown. If I were to do it again, I would spend more time outside talking with the people in the settlement and village than in the museum.

We really enjoyed interacting with the reenactors, and seeing the encampment, as well as the farm! The indoor exhibits walk you through the timeline of the various conflicts and skirmishes of the Revolutionary war, including the time leading up to and after effects, as well as biographical highlights of the key players involved.

We had a great time at the museum. It was the perfect end to our trip through history in the area. I would definitely take the time to watch the movies and short films throughout the museum. The amount of reading may be a bit much for younger children but my older kids really enjoyed it. My middle schooler, who is a typical middle schooler and is never up for anything, loved it and thanked me for taking him.
