I really enjoy going here. My husband and I are seasons pass holders. We have been here numerous times. My favorite part of this park is the candlemaker shop. It's amazing! I also like how the park is arranged by country and all the decorations in the country match it. Like in Italy they have the ma...

We have been going to Busch Gardens for years. I have 4 kids so the food can get pricey. I buy 2 of the drink cups and 2 of the popcorn buckets at the beginning of the season. Refills are $.99 so we use them all season long. It is a great money saver! If we decide to eat a meal in the park we a...

My family and I love this Busch Gardens in Williamsburg! The rides and the staff are wonderful. The waves of heroes program is also amazing and helps veterans experience this park at a discount. The carnival style games are so much fun an not rigged, like they normally are at a local fair. Thank you...

All water rides were closed. The train around the park was broken. The sky tram got stuck several times. Most of the small shops or games were closed for the season. They were setting up for the opening of the haunted areas and the park was unfortunately very boring. There were two Halloween dancing...

Great place for all ages. I've been a pass member for years, and the park grows and changes to be better each year. Whether you're a thrill junkie, bringing your kids, or just looking for a fun day, this park has everything.

What I like most about it is that its nice just to be there. Its a bea...

Went at a good time. July. Not too busy surprisingly. Parent swap was helpful. As a parent we both could ride rides by swapping out, but only waiting in line once. We couldn't go together, but at least we were not restricted to the kids rides and we were all able to enjoy ourselves.

Try to take advantage of discount offers. Also, make sure to find free parking coupons. Lots to do here but so much walking! Hills and stairs. Very hot in the summer. I looked for air conditioned or water rides in the hottest part of the day. Long lines for some rides. Be prepared to stand and wait....

The luster has really worn off. The shops have really gone downhill. The shows are stale. They are relying on reputation now. They are not maintaining the park anywhere near the old standards. Overall, going down for the last 3 years. I hope they turn it around or I will be cancelling our annu...

I grew up going to Busch Gardens and I have to say I've been enjoying the park less and less over the last few years. It's just gotten too overcrowded. It takes such a long time to get on any ride and especially any roller coaster. The park isn't designed well enough to handle the guests. The walkwa...

Busch is a beautiful park, always well maintained and staffed with a helpful crew of people. Good coasters, lots of areas and rides meant for little ones, good food in the different themed areas, face painting, antique photo, and lots of animal experiences.

My family, boyfriend and I visited Christmastown the weekend after Thanksgiving. This was our first time, despite living near by. IT WAS GORGEOUS. The lights, displays, music, food, etc. was PERFECT to get us all in the Christmas mood. Even the games/prizes were Christmas themed. (Id like to note th...

We love it here! We went for the first time about 3 weeks ago, spent 2 days and decided to get the annual pass. We've been back 4 times since. It's great for both of our kids age 4 &7. There's plenty for them to ride and do. We especially love the splash stations around the park when the weather is ...

Very good theme park. Rides are fun and a good variety of very good coasters. A lot of variety for families with many ages of kids. The show's are well done with excellent singers, dancers and actors. There dining plan is good. All counter service. Marco Polo had the best variety of food choice,

Coming from out of state and our first time at Busch Gardens so we were pretty excited. Only to get there and find out 4 coasters were open and more then half the park was closed! On their October Fest page on their website it literally says 15 ROLLER COASTERS AND RIDES so I assumed that s what w...

My family was very excited to come here but we were quickly disappointed. The rides here are fantastic, however without the line cutting passes you have to wait 45 minutes for everything. Even to get food, the lines were so long... we managed to make the best of it but the straw that broke the ca...

My family and I just returned from a three day trip to Busch Gardens. While we did enjoy the rides (Wednesday was almost empty) and the park was beautifully landscaped, the ALL DAY dining meal plan was a disaster and ruined our food experience. We purchased 15 all day dining passes for five people...

Great price, food, and wait times were excellent. Only draw back was the park opened at 10am but food and some rides didnt open until after 11. Marco Polo opened at 1130. I wish the opening times were posted ahead of time. I planned to eat soon as I got there but got delayed on eating then went to a...

Still the same great park I've been coming to for over twenty years. During our visit a lot of areas were understaffed and the beer prices have gone insane in the last ten years. However, we absolutely had a blast. Apollo's Chariot, the Gryffon, and Alpengeist are awesome coasters.

Absolutely love this place, great mix of rides for adults and children. Variety of entertainment provided for each culture represented at the park. Each country attempts to provide food native to it's culture. Trappers smokehouse by far was the best. If you enjoy eating as much as thrill rides, p...

Was a great time with friends, but the locker system they have is a scam. 6 dollars for all day use lockers, but they dont tell you that you cant just leave stuff in one locker. If you leave it in longer than 2 hours they charge you nearly double the initial cost, but you have to read the fine print...

Not my favorite theme park, but still really good one. The biggest issue here is that a lot of their rides are aging, and that makes them rougher and less fun. On the plus side, there's lots of shade in this Park which is unusual, but on the downside there's also a lot of Hills to climb.

The park is beautiful with lots of things to do for all ages. The food is well priced and plentiful in most cafeterias. I highly recommend the smoke ribs.
The free admission for military and their families is a nice touch which is greatly appreciated by all.

Busch gardens is always awesome but the day I went must have been the same day all of Virginia decided to go as well. Next time and anytime after we will only go either during the week or on sunday. If you want to ride rides avoid Saturday like the plague.

Great promotional price $45 a person thru Groupon. Can return multiple times with same ticket up to Sept 9th. Great shows and lots of fun on rides. Needed more shade when watching the wolf show since it was 91 degrees felt like 106. Poor wolf was dipping in the pool while doing the show.
