Growing up in Williamsburg you get spoiled by basically great weather. There are usually one or two super cold weeks in winter (super cold = highs in the 30's) and one or two super hot weeks in the summer with temperatures around 100. This week happens to be one of those weeks so I thought it might be time to make some suggestions.
Here we go...Top 5 ways to beat the heat if it happens to be extra warm during your visit:
5. Spend the afternoon/evening at Colonial Down's racetrack. Most people don't know that a short 20 minute drive from Williamsburg will take you to one of the nicest racing facilities in the state. Best of all there is a great view from inside where there is plenty of cool air. Kids will get a kick out of watching the races.
4. Ripley's Believe it or Not. While admittedly not an all day attraction, this museum and 4-D theatre is fun for all ages with more than 300 exhibits.
3. Lunch at a Colonial Tavern. One of the most unique parts of the Colonial Williamsburg experience is the dining. With period characters, entertainment, and 17th Century fare, this should be part of every visit to the historic area.
2. Take in a show at Busch Gardens. Busch Gardens auditions performers from all over the country when casting its Broadway style shows. The entertainment is world class and the air conditioning is plentiful.
1. The number one way to beat the heat while on vacation in Williamsburg? Spend the day at Water Country USA. With pools, slides, kiddie areas and lounge chairs galore Water Country USA keeps you cool while enjoying the thrills and spills of the Mid-Atlantic's largest water park.
