Are there any discount places or websites for tickets?Comment

Are you seeking discounts for CW? As a charitable non/not-for-profit organization, you will rarely find discounts other than those that may be available to local residents.
p.s. The best way to locate discounts would be on the individual websites for each venue, attraction and/or restaurant.Comment

Riverdees05:
Some of the sites posted are museums that have affiliations with the "Association of Science and TEchnology Centers" (ASTC) allowing for reciprocal admission. If there is a local science center/museum where you live that is affiliated with the ASTC check for a family membership package and join. That will get you admission into your local place plus into any of about 250 ASTC locations nationwide. For example we live in Brevard County, FL and our local museum has ASTC membership. Last July we bought a family year membership for $50 and we were able to go to the Children's Museum of Science in Toledo, OH and the Inventor's Hall of Fame Museum in Akron, OH, at no additional cost. We are planning on going to the Virginia Living Museum and the Virginia Air and Space Museum in May, both are ASTC affiliated! Now THAT's a real deal for $50!!

One more -- Fort Monroe
Look at these.
Fort Monroe historical website
Photo Gallery - page 1 of 4
Fort Monroe is much overlooked.
Fort Monroe - Last fully moat enclosed military fort in the US Army. It still functions today as Hq for the US Army Training and Doctrine Command. It is located at the mouth of Hampton Roads. It was constructed during the period of 1819 thru 1834.RobertComment

Williamsburg offers a lot to see. I have never been there. I thought it was a colonial town like Sturbridge Village in MA..
Is Willamsburg something I should plan to see one day?

Much of what was originally listed in post#2 was a cut/paste from the email that I send out to inquiries on my Williamsburg rentals. Williamsburg is a family destination within a day's drive for more than half of the population of the U.S. and not much more for half the Canadian population. As you can see from the listings in post#2 there is plenty two fill one, two, or even three weeks; I've had many guests from the UK stay two weeks or more!Originally posted by pkyorkbeach... not enough time for all the timeshares ®Comment

There are MANY things to do in the Williamsburg area, though most people stick with the Colonial Area, Jamestown, Yorktown, Busch Gardens and Water Country. VA Beach is about an hour away. There is plenty of shopping (including upscale outlets malls - though not truly bargain prices) and lots of restaurants. You could easily stay there for two weeks and not see everything.Comment

Have been to VA BEach many time but never took a ride to Williamsburg. I think we thought it was a lot farther away..
Good info. Perhaps we will visit soon..
