Exciting Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens in Williamsburg is one of the most exciting theme parks in the country. Voted the world's most beautiful theme park for 15 years in a row by the National Amusement Park Historical Association, the park offers a beautiful stroll through grounds reminiscent of old world Europe. There are rides, attractions and shows for the whole family.

There are plenty of roller coasters for the thrill ride fans in your group. You'll find exciting roller coasters including the famous and adventurous Griffon. The Griffon carries riders up more than 200 feet then plunges them straight down at 70 mph while it twists and turns. It is the world's tallest floorless dive coaster. You'll also like the Loc Ness Monster, an interlocking double-looping coaster that lifts you 13 stories in the air and has a 114-foot drop while reaching speeds up to 60 mph. Cool off and get splashed on the Roman Rapids, a water adventure ride.

For the younger crowd, there's a whole area of rides and shows. They'll love spending hours on the many rides including the popular carousel, Little Gliders and Riffle Rapids. You can walk through the various charming old villages of France, Italy, Germany and Ireland. You'll find authentic style food offerings and shows in each of the areas along with rides, food vendors and shops.

Busch Gardens is fun for everyone from toddlers through adults. The park continues to update and add rides. Another popular attraction is called Curse of the DarKastle, a trip through an old castle with some scary results. Or you can take a break from walking and watch one of the many shows in the park. The shows are wonderfully done and enjoyable for all ages. Plan to spend a day or two at this beautiful park.
