Sitting on a 25-acre island that can be accessed by bridge from downtown Manteo, Roanoke Island Festival Park is a fun way to celebrate and learn about the first English settlement in the United States. The park is divided into several distinct sections; highlights include a replica of a 16th century sailing ship, a Native American Town, and a settlement site with blacksmiths and woodworkers. Visitors will also be entertained by plenty of living history performers that can be found wandering throughout the park. Admission tickets are valid for two days, and it typically takes visitors around 3 hours to explore the park.
