[quote=Anonymous]Palace tour is okay, but not that great.  It's sort of long and  I think my kids were a little bored -- I think I had to take one of them out through a side door in the middle of it.

For kids that age, the best things are (probably in this order):
1.  Training as a continentla soldier at the encampment
2.  Going to the house (powell house?) which is interactive -- kids clean like they did in the 18th century, play 18th century games, etc.
3. horse carriage ride
4. tie between the jail tour and the thing on the main lawn where the enactors pretend to be having a debate -- it sort of springs up around you so it seems like you're in the middle of it, which is fun

Consider renting costumes, which is expensive but puts you in the spirit (and makes for cute picture).  Also consider downloading the American Girl movie Felicity, or checking out one of the Felicity girl books before going, as it helps give the child some background knowledge and makes it seem more real.  The historical eating places are also kind of fun.[/quote]
