[quote=Anonymous]I posted at 12:13, and can't believe I forgot the period re-enactors like the blacksmith -- those are a lot of fun.  The smith is the most exciting, with the molten metal, and you can stay as long as you want, or move on if the kids are bored.  Some let you help, if that's safe.  Also, I'm not sure if it's seasonal, but the thing where the light the lights at the big house (sorry, forgetting the name) is awesome -- they have the drum and fife parade as part of that, and of course the "lights" are fire, so it's all pretty cool.

There are lots of animals around, so the kids usually like that as well.

The spy game is cool, but is pretty complicated and takes a long time, so not good for a kid that doesn't have a long attention span.  When we went, my 10 year old liked it, but the younger kids did not care about it after the first or second clue.  I think it's perfect for tweens, but beware that it keeps you running around the whole site.

I think the key is to focus on the interactive stuff, and not get too caught up in the tours of old furniture stuff.  And it really helps if they have basic knowledge about the Coloniral era and the revolution.[/quote]
