I parked there on the day of a festival, and truly got lucky with finding a spot mostly because I followed a family to their car and waited while they loaded up. Parking is priced reasonably too, and it's easy to access when coming from the highway.

It is in the perfect location as well to the stores I frequent. I also utilize this garage when I am eating at Amber Ox. To pay I personally use the app. But, there is a machine or two Recently there was only machine operating. So be prepared to use the app. I paid maybe $3 for 2-3 hours of parking. This parking garage is well maintained. There is walking paths around and sidewalks to help cut though to other businesses.

Merchants Square has been a favorite place of mine to shop, dine and recreate for decades. It has…read moreover 40 stores. Recently I had the opportunity to visit the square that's nestled between The College of William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg. During Christmas is one of my favorite times to visit this area. It was hoping too! Crowds were beginning to arrive in Williamsburg for The Grand Illumination the next day. There was music, and a Christmas spirit in the cool crisp air. I visited a few shops that I had time for that were both favorites and new to me. The Cheese Shop for a snack. This shop has been a place I have frequented for decades, it's awesome and an independent run store like most others. I went to R. Bryant, a men's store. Lulu lemon, Danforth Pewter and a new shop Walkabout Outfitters which is a small chain. It replaced a very well known and established independent store I shopped since early 2000. If you're looking for a unique place to shop, eat and also take in a show at the Kimball Theater then Merchants is the place.

In addition to an outstanding collection of books, the library has a theater that shows both new and old movies for free! The seating is comfortable and the screen is large. I saw Oscar-nominated Past Lives, which attracted a good size audience. It was part of their art house cafe series. There is plenty of two-hour parking onsite as well as across the street in the garage. I'll definitely go back to see more movies.

We got to see a barrel being made, a cannon being fired (dry fired), a court session, and lots of buildings and other historical items. The person I was with has been here a few times and said they have options to stay on site and also there are several very good places to eat. Would be a great place for the family or yourself if you want a piece of Americas history.

This review is a bit through my sons eyes. However I did pick him up and dropped him off from the…read moreTransportation Station in Williamsburg. The station is located just blocks from the campus of William & Mary. Ample parking is provided and the lot was clean. The building is fitting for the area but seemed nondescript with small signage on the building. Mask are required inside regardless of vaccination status. Tickets can be purchased inside. The Men's restroom was functional and clean. I purchased my sons tickets online which was an easy to use system. Major credit cards are accepted. An email confirmation was generated immediately. The train arrived around 5 minutes late, not bad. My son rode coach for $27 from DC. Quite the bargain. He described the trip as comfortable and similar to a bus or plane with more leg room and better seating. The timing was approximately 3.5 which is slower than driving in perfect conditions which never occurs in NOVA. The return was less than 10 minutes late and quite crowded with some passengers traveling as far as Philly. My son will schedule to use them again some time in 2022. By the way, if your wondering if the conductor yells ALL ABOARD when arriving they do. Just like the movies.

When we arrived they were so nice even though it was freezing. They loaded up all our luggage for us and the van driver was really nice and got us where we needed to be safely. Then our cruise got extended due to the port closing. Asphalt lots posted on Facebook within 10 minutes of us on the boat receiving the news of the port closing stating they was no need to worry they would hold our vehicles the extra day for no extra cost and would be there to pick us up when we port. We finally got off the boat and I was concerned it was going to be awhile before they picked us up due to the amount of people and the freezing temperatures but they were there waiting with three vehicles ready to get us. I can't recommend this place enough and I will use them every time I cruise out of Norfolk.

The ferry crosses the James River from either Jamestown or Scotland/Surry. The pleasant (about) 15-minute ride allows you to park your car on the ship and walk the decks to see seagulls or osprey flying by, water lapping the sides, and the oh so gorgeous view. The ferry has an upper viewing deck too, as well as restrooms. The ride is free and runs often at least twice an hour. Check their website for the schedule. Occasionally you may be randomly selected for a car check by security before boarding. This is done on the car with mirrors, but they check your trunk. It's pretty quick. Enjoy!

I do notice they try to keep up with cleaning and suppling the essentials. But, it can be a hit of miss especially when it is super busy. They do offer discounts for military in certain stores, sometimes teacher discounts, and also discounts for emergency service employees. You just have to ask honestly sometimes there is a sticker on the window. You can definitely find some deals especially around holidays and prime shopping times like back to school or tax free shopping days.
