Dress warmly and have good walking shoes. We had absolutely no issues with parking. We went on a Tuesday and arrived around 4. We were able to park very close to the entrance and we didn’t wait long in line to enter. The lights are beautiful. We rode the train with a 10 minute wait. We were extremely pleased with the experience. We stayed at the Williamsburg property the Woodlands and the package included a three day bounce pass which is a great deal. It includes entrance and free parking to Busch Gardens. We highly recommend Busch Garden Christmas Town.

First time coming and we really enjoyed the decorations for the holiday. Walking through the park up and down the mountain was pretty cool with the lights. Only thing we didn’t realize that of it gets to cold they shut the rides down. I feel like if you’re waiting in line in your necks, they should give you some kind of past to return. Since you wait that long then they are like sorry it’s not working. We did eat dinner there pretty good not bad. We thought it was pretty cool too that they had the fire pits that you can walk around if you’re too cold.

My wife and I visited Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the 1st time in almost 20 years. We had a 2 day pass. We boarded our dog at their kennel , which was convenient. The rides were really good, including some of the older ones we really loved. However, Customer Service is awful. It was 100 degrees on our visit , and they charged us $5 to fill our water bottle at the kiosk. They have very few water fountains, and those they have are warm and brackish tasting. They also do not allow you to leave the park and retain your daily parking permit , even though we updated to preferred parking. We recently visited parks in Branson and Pigeon Forge, and these were not issues. In fact, Pigeon Forge gives away free water when it gets that hot.

Prices are High!!! If you are not a size 10 good luck riding any roller coasters. Trams are even hard to get on and off as each row is narrow. They do have smoking section thru out park which are nice but didn't look to be cleaned at all. All smokers out posts were full!!! Lots of roller coasters and grand daughter enjoyed.

It has been a few years since I was last here at Busch Gardens, so a friend and I included it on our coaster trip this summer. The park is one of the most beautifully landscaped parks in the world. The employees were very nice; the food was mediocre. They have a nice selection of rides, but their coasters kept breaking down the day we were there, the WHOLE day. All the coasters had maintenance issues on our visit, some with several closures. I understand that safety is the number on priority for management. But having all these mechanical issues on the same day put a slight damper on our overall visit. Hopefully, these issues will be fixed for future patrons.

I can’t count the number of times we’ve been to BG.over the years. Our kids ( now almost 40) practically grew up in the park. One thing that always impressed me beyond the rides, shows and beauty of the park was the quality and variety of the food offerings. You expect to pay a little more in a theme park but I never felt we were being gouged before. Yesterday I paid $8.15 for a 12 oz Coke. A PICKLE in Germany was $6.49. What’s worse was the quality of the food. Very disappointing . It feels like a money grab everywhere you go now with a 5 % “surcharge “on everything on top of outrageous prices. Upselling offers abound. Never before have I seen alcohol being sold (13.99) everywhere you turn. The new management clearly is prioritizing profit over customer experience. Not sure we’ll be back😞 Tip: pack a picnic and go back to your car for meals and drinks or take out a loan before you come 😕

We arrived the day before Virginia kids went back to school in August and could not have picked a better time to visit. We had two day tickets. The first day was a little crowded and but the lines were not terrible. The 2nd day we never waited in line. It was wonderful. The kids loved all the rides. The park was clean, tidy, shaded and provided places to sit while you waited for others on rides. The food was delicious and the bathrooms very clean. We love that the park had restrictions on size and shape. This shows that they care about the attendants and they are giving you advance notice if you are a large person or if you are too tiny, You can still ride, you just need to be sure you fit in the seat. This protects everyone, including small children. The water rides will get you wet, wear shoes you don't mind getting soaked. Busch Gardens is a huge place, I recommend you get the two day pass as it is worth it to re-ride your favorites.
