There are plenty of rides and attractions for little kids at this park. My kids were 3 and 5 when we went and they had a blast! Sesame Street Forest of Fun (especially Grover's Alpine Express which I loved as well) and Dragon Land were the biggest hits. Very clean and absolutely beautiful grounds impressed the adults in our party. more

Love the park, but had a bad time with renting a motorized cart. It broke down 30 minutes into our day, notified someone right away. We waited close tp 2 hours for a new one. It was a friday in Oct, cold and rainy and not busy, I have no idea why it took so long and no one else... more

The new sesame place characters and rides were such a big hit with the kids. Everything was accessible and kid friendly. more

An amazing and beautiful park (winner of the most beautiful amusement park in America award for years now). Great rides and only minutes away from tons of other attractions, like Water Country USA. Friendly and helpful staff from around the world. The only down side is that they've become much busier with the creation of the Fun Pass, which lets... more

We purchased 7 day passes on the internet that were good for Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg and Water Country USA. What a great deal! We were in Williamsburg for a week and went back to Busch Gardens three times. My three year old son loved it! There were so many rides for little kids! And the Sesame Street area is... more

We visited October 2009. Temps were in the 50's with a steady, drizzly rain all day. My daughters, ages 18, 16, and 12, all found the park to be just perfect. The lines were next to nothing on our Friday visit. They walked on, off, and back on rides quickly and rode each as often as they wanted. Water rides,... more

Going for Howl-O-Scream is not to be missed! October is certainly the best time of year to go: not too hot or crowded. During the day, for seniors like me, there are benches by the beautiful wooded areas with flowers, streams and waterfalls to relax while your big and little kids are enjoying the rides geared just for them and... more

We really enjoy Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA. The rides are fun, the shows are great and the landscaping is beautiful. There is definitely something for everyone. I have not been yet this year, but I hear the new Sesame Street attraction for the kids is wonderful. We went to Howl-O-Scream last year and it was great fun! I am... more

Our family has been visiting Busch Gardens Williamsburg since 1982; we love it. Our most recent visit was Sept. 26-27, 2009 for one of their Howl-o-Scream weekends. Previously, we had always visited in the summer and this park does a lot to keep you cool even in the heat of a southern summer. But sunny fall weather with clear, crisp... more
