10: Travel Through Time in Williamsburg

Your kids can see every key player in Southern society of the 1700s, and they can act the part. History at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, means playing dress up. This is truly interactive entertainment. In the Costume Rental Center, girls get graceful dresses, and boys receive hunting shirts, rucksacks, and imitation rifles ($19.95 a day per outfit). The outfits make history come alive for kids, which means that instead of a groan, you’ll get a smile.
