Definitely get the multi-site pass, we spent the morning at Jamestown and the afternoon at Yorktown, but we felt rushed, there’s a TON of stuff at both sites and we almost missed the special exhibit entirely, so big ups to the person who asked if we had seen it! It would have been a shame, it’s really neat how it spanned the two museums, and we’re big Outlander fans, so seeing the connection between the Jacobites and modern America made it a particularly captivating and informative exhibit for us.
The farm at Yorktown was probably my favorite spot - they even have a farm cat - but my boyfriend was most enthusiastic about the ships at Jamestown. The replicas are super good, but the real win is the costumed staff, they were all incredibly engaging and knowledgeable, and I could have easily spent a whole day at each site if we’d had more time.
