Once again in honor of Veterans Day 2009, Colonial Williamsburg is offering free admission to veteran’s and their families. Active duty military, guard and reservists, retirees, veterans and their dependents enjoy free admission passes Friday through Wednesday, Nov. 6-11, 2009.
If you live anywhere near Colonial Williamsburg and can take advantage of this offer, do it! We have been able to attend for the past few years and it is always a wonderful adventure. Many of the local hotels also offer discounts to veterans during this celebration.
Colonial Williamsburg ticket prices range from $18 to $36 dollars, so this is an incredible deal for military families!
Here is an excerpt from the Colonial Williamsburg website:
The service member need not be present and free passes will be provided to immediate family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate identification. Military veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, DD Form 214, as identification of service. These tickets are available only at Colonial Williamsburg on-site ticket sales windows.
There is also no limit on free tickets for family members as long as they are direct dependents. A big family bonus!

How fun! The kids look like they’re having a ball. I don’t live in the area, and we’re not a military family, but someday I want to go check it out.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for posting this! We moved down to Virginia Beach in June and haven’t been to Colonial Williamsburg yet. We missed out on Homeschool Days, but this is an even better deal.

I love Williamsburg! My daughter and I just finished reading through the American Girl Felicity books set in Williamsburg, so I think it’s time for a visit. We’re not military so we’ll probably wait for a less crowded day to go. But for those who are, what a great deal! There is so much to see, learn, and experience there!
