Jamestown-Yorktown, Virginia

A fantastic budget-friendly spring break vacation idea is a visit with the whole family to the historic town of Jamestown in Virginia. It offers you the chance to have fun as you learn about our country’s past.

Explore the ruins of the first English settlement in North America, the Powhatan Indian village close by, and you can even go back in time by watching some outstanding re-enactments of the everyday life of the people back then. This all happens in a 17th-century fort!

For enthusiastic history buffs, there are also films and galleries which give a deeper insight into the early settlement, and another is dedicated to the American Revolution.

If you choose to visit during the months of March or April, you can also go on a kayaking tour along the James River.

Be sure to leave us a comment to let us know which of these budget-friendly spring break adventures you decided to take with your family!
