Stopped in to get our lifetime park pass. Stayed around for the history, nature paths, nice sized gift shop, and the glass - nothing like Jamestown Glass!

A good introduction to America’s first permanent English settlement.
There is clear signage along the Colonial Parkway and main roads leading to the entrance. The drive itself is scenic.The Jamestowne Visitor’s Center should be your first stop if you are interesting in how our country was founded. This center serves as the gateway to America’s first permanent English settlement. There is plenty of parking conveniently located near the main entrance, making access easy for visitors of all mobility levels. The lot is tree lined with plenty of shady spots. It is a single story building. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to assist with questions, tickets, or recommendations for exploring the area. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a history enthusiast, their enthusiasm for Jamestown’s story enhances the experience. Inside, there is a small round theater that offers a short film explaining the history and the area. There is a series of Exhibits to the right as you enter. The exhibits are thoughtfully arranged, featuring interactive displays, artifacts from archaeological digs, and engaging historical narratives. The museum area covers the struggles and triumphs of early settlers, with artifacts including tools, weapons, and personal items from the 1600s. The center also offers a well-curated gift shop and a theater with an informative introductory film. If you have the time, there is a walkway to the actual settlement. Overall, the Jamestowne Visitor’s Center is a very good way to start exploring America’s original colonial past.

Our least favorite out of all of the attractions. Also, the staff was rude. And when we tried to check in, they saw stickers on our shirt from another site, and quickly told us they weren't valid here. And then I explained we actually had the Four-site ticket.... They still didn't apologize or anything. In addition to the rude staff, the place wasn't very interesting.

Well curated exhibit. Modern and clean facilities. The movie was also pretty informative. Walk down the to River was nice even on a sweltering day.
