We were suppose to go to Bush garden last year but it got cancelled because of the kennel's cancellation that was suppose to board our dogs at the last minute. So this year, it was one of our main destinations during our road trip and mini vacation in Williamsburg Virginia. We went there on July 8, the day after our daughter's birthday. The place does not open until 9 but we went there very early after we ate breakfast at Denny's.
Busch Gardens offers fun for the whole family, from world-class roller coasters, rides, and slides to character appearances, shows, and animal interactions, you name it. You can take the summer of thrills quiz to find out whether you are a Scream Seeker or more of a Junior Looper. My daughter definitely belong to a scream seeker while I am on the other option lol. I love that that they have kid-friendly online tips on things to do in the parks and ride suggestions. They are planning to have the InvadR™, their very first wooden roller coaster that will come in in 2017.
Busch Gardens offers hidden adventure from every angle.
I love the entrance, it's very colorful and filled with plants and flowers.
I have no idea what this cute building is for but we didn't tried to look around there. We just went directly to the park as the kids were excited to see what's there to ride and see.
I am always behond them as I try to capture different things.
I love how they incorporated France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, England, and Italy into the parks theme.
I am not sure if I want to go back there again though. As beautiful as it is, amusement park is not really for me. It's fun for the kids that's why we go but for me, I would rather go to a place wqhere it's not crowded like the Jamestown Beach or the quite and beautiful Waller Mills Park that we visited. But while the kids are into amusement park, we can still go. Maybe when they are a little older we can just visit a relaxing place and chill.
When we went to the Waterworld USA the day before, we were told by the admission agent that military can avail discount when going to Busch Gardens so we were like "cool!" So when we asked for a discount in BG, the lady told us that you have to buy the tickets online to avail the discount. Hmmmn, it doesn't make sense to me because anyone can say they are military member online and they have to way of checking it. Military discount should be given at the admission booth so they can ask for military ID as proof. But we didn't argue since that was their rules. I just find it odd that they do it that way.
Anyway, it was a great decision to go there early because the line was just starting when we came. I love the entrance, it's very colorful and filled with plants and flowers.

We get to feel like we were in a different country as we explored the park.

The gardens look beautiful but the rest of it would not interest me. I am sure though that the kids would have lots of fun. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go to Busch Gardens, but I have not got there yet. I'm glad that you guys were able to go and that you shared it with me. I cannot wait to go.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Busch Gardens before and loved it. It is such a cool park for the whole family to visit!

ReplyDeleteBusch Gardens looks like such a great place to visit with family. I know my kiddos would love it there.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty strange that you have to go online for the military discount. I do like visiting Busch Gardens though. They have some pretty cool rides.
ReplyDeleteWow this place looks so magical - the entrance really reminds me of Animal Kingdom in Disney World!
ReplyDeleteBusch Gardens we have never went to but would love to go some day. It is awesome that they have online suggestions and information that you can check before going to the park. This would be so much fun for the whole family. Thanks for sharing your experience.
ReplyDeleteAlways a fun place to go to - the kids definitely love and enjoyed it but I do understand where you are coming from - it can be overwhelming and tiring too haha!
ReplyDeleteIt has been years since my last visit to Busch Gardens. It seems like there is a lot of new things to enjoy there
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are very vibrant!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your family had a great time.
I like the country themes in the park.
I have not been to Busch Gardens in years, but really enjoyed my time there. I think the best time to go to any amusement park is during the off season. Then you won't have long lines and the weather is cooler.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a ton of fun! We are wanting to take our kids to Busch Gardens soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful garden. Looks like you had a wonderful time with your family! I can't wait to visit this place
ReplyDeleteI have been to Busch Gardens in Tampa many times, but never in Virginia. Looks like a fun time. I would love to take my family.
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks beautiful. I want to visit this place. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteNow this looks like a fun time. I've never been to Busch Gardens, but I have seen it advertised many times. I need to head to Florida to check it out!
