We had a great time at Busch Gardens! The park is big and a lot of walking with hills and steep inclines. Your best friend is the sky ride to get to different parts of the park. We got discounted tickets with AAA. So many fun rides and something for everyone. They have a lot of big coasters but they also have fun smaller rides. Their water rides are a blast! We had beautiful weather but I'm sure in the summer it gets really hot there. You can bring in a bottle of water. Food prices are pricey and so is parking. Overall it is a great amusement park!

Our family loves theme parks, and we’ve never been to Busch Gardens, so we wanted to give it a try while we were visiting Williamsburg. The park opened at 10 and we were there right at that time. The line just to get into the park was ridiculous. There’s only one entrance, so everyone going for the day has to go in through one gate.
We also decided to get the quick que passes, which cost almost triple what the tickets did for each one of us. There was no warning that you wouldn’t be allowed to ride in the front row. At every other theme park we’ve gone to there’s never any issue to let us get into the line to wait for the front. I’m not expecting to be able to cut in front of everyone else that’s already in that for the front row, but to at least be able to get into that line. Every ride we went to said it wasn’t allowed, and even if there were empty seats in the front row they wouldn’t let us take them. The reason it’s such a big issue for us is because my wife was involved in a bad accident years ago with a major head injury, and it’s now more difficult for her to ride anything if she’s not sitting in the front without getting nauseous. Due to this we had to cut our visit short. If we had at least been made aware that the quick que pass doesn’t allow you to ride in the front row before purchasing the tickets we would’ve been able to make a more informed decision, and may not have even visited the park at all.

It was quite expensive for what you get. The lines were long and food prices were high. It’s a fun place, but be prepared to spend a lot and wait in lines.

In December, Busch Gardens is decorated for Christmastown. This was an excellent way to show the lights. Go early and if weather permits, wait for the gates to open at opening town. There's quite a walk from the parking lot to the entrance. Not all rides were operating in Dec. but not a big deal for us. The only complaint I had was the overpriced food and drinks.

We have been going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for several years. We have always been able to get a great deal on either the bounce pass or fun card for the week, which often includes parking. The food is expensive but much better than most theme park food and unique in that you can get foods that are from the different countries represented in the park. There is plenty to do for little kids as well as older kids. There is a great blend of intense rides and calm rides. The theming is immersive and what sets this park apart. There's also animal experiences like a show with the wolves, a meet and greet with the Clydesdales. The park is always clean and well kept.

Very clean and well planned park- really fun theming in wait areas and plenty of shade on sunny days- except for in Italy. Great coasters - Dark Koster and Verbolten were our favorites. Celtic Fyre was a great mid-day break as was a walk through the Lorakeet aviary.

The park is a lot of fun, very clean, and has lots of well maintained, well done roller coasters and a decent selection of carnival style rides for younger kids. Food typical of theme parks. Some nice, brief animal shows. Celtic Fyre Dance show really good.
Gave only 4 stars (would prefer to give 4.5) because of their online ticket buying experience. We thought we’d bought ticket plus Quick Pass for $150 each only to find that this was the fee for just the Quick Pass—the $100 admission price wasn’t included! This was NOT obvious in the online purchase process. Fortunately, the park staff were very polite and helpful in allowing return of the Quick Pass (which we found we wouldn’t have needed on a school day) and getting us the admission passes.

Took my teen granddaughter and her BFF for a spring break visit. It seemed shabby on-site and in need of upgrade, but They loved the roller coaster rides. I on the other hand did not appreciate the money grab At every opportunity. The meal ticket is a scam , buy as you go, because you end up having to buy extra for a real meal and it doesn’t include the things that visitors actually want. Pretzel not included that will be $17; Beer expected to be extra but $15; meal (entree side and dessert) included in meal plan but if you only want a dessert $15! Meal plan varied based on where you go… The price for parking should be illegal and it changes daily. Day 1 $32; day 2&3 $37. Told by hotel staff that in season (late spring through Labor Day) it gets to $200 per day to park!!!! Next time, I’ll pass!!!!

The rides were so much fun! I had a great time on them! Even my boyfriend who hates roller coasters loved Apollo’s Chariot!

Good from afar but far from good. Like others have said, either this place is resting on its laurels or it has terrible management or both. Very understaffed leading to unnecessarily long lines. It took an hour of waiting in line at Festhaus for food as only two lines open. We waited in line at Darkroaster for 45 minutes watching kids who didnt have Fast Queue skip over and jump in that line. Several roller coasters closed. We wont be back.
