Overall, our trip to Busch Gardens in Virginia was fun and we got to see a lot of neat things. I can see why the park was voted most beautiful amusement park in America. There are 5 roller coasters to ride and they are all extremely fun and different from the other coasters that I have rode in the past.... more

This past June I took my family on a vacation to Williamsburg, Virginia, and part of that vacation included several visits to Busch Gardens Europe (BGE). BGE is an absolutely beautiful theme park with well manicured landscaping, extremely detailed themes in each of the lands, and everything looking like it had just received a fresh coat of paint. I do... more

This place was so good. We all liked it better than the last place we visited at Kings Dominion. This place has an awesome water park too. Good time of year to visit also in Oct. more

After filling my 12 year old's head with enough history to sink a battleship our last day in Williamsburg we went to Busch Gardens. In October it is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We went on a Friday. It was not that busy until about 4:00 when everyone started showing up for Halloscream. The park is very nice. Wear runners... more

Busch Gardens Europe is probably the most well-manicured, aesthetically-pleasing amusement park in the United States. Its location has always been a distinct advantage over many other theme parks, both in terms of scenery and accessibility. Situated just off of I-64 and nestled amidst lush, green foliage, Busch Gardens Europe is just minutes from a litany of hotels, restaurants, and other... more

From a a 1-10 scale I give Busch Gardens 50! My husband and I went to Busch Gardens the third week of September for my 30th Birthday. I can't really describe how satisfied we were where this park. First the park is beautiful and clean (very clean). The park is organized by different countries (Germany, France, England, Italy, Scotland, Ireland)... more

My husband and I went to Busch Gardens during our first anniversary trip to Williamsburg and had the best time!! I can't say enough good things about this park. (but I am going to try). We went at the end of September on a Sunday and never waited in any lines to go on any rides. The first thing I... more

We love visiting Howl-o-Scream during the fall! The park is beautifully decorated--and scary in fun, truly thematic ways after dark! If you go, visit on a Friday or Sunday (on Saturday, the park often reaches capacity), and prepare to stay until near close to take in the scary attractions. For coaster fans, coasters run "no lights" in many instances after... more

We spent a week in Wiliamsburg and went to Busch Gardens almost every afternoon. We were with our two girls ( 2 and 5 ) and we saw and did all we could. The shows: We really liked the Emerald Beat, Pet Shenanigans, The Jukebox and Kinetix. Viva Italia was kind of boring. The 4D movie in England was funny,... more

We went to Busch Gardens over Labor Day weekend and had a great time! Here's my review: Overall - the park is as clean as a Disney Park, and like Disney, you never really see people cleaning, so they must have a great system worked out. The main difference is, at Disney, you NEVER see behind-the-scenes, the rides are complete... more
