he Roanoke Island Festival Park is a recreation of life on Roanoke Island in the late 1500's, and while the material in the park is pretty standard, the kind of sites you see in most places like this, the museum is one of the best I've been to.

Beautiful Stage and Scenery

Very nice outdoor venue, to see a concert or performance. Nice to walk the grounds. We could not see the concert that night because we had other reservations, but based on what we saw before the show and heard, if you like the group that is preforming, it is a worthwhile experience!

This was a great place to spend the day with our younger kids teaching them some early American/English history. So much to see and do within a short drive.

History comes alive with a replica of Elizabeth II's era and costumed-sixteenth-century characters.
