Hello, I just wanted to share some feedback on my most recent experience at Busch Gardens Christmas Celebration. I am very disappointed in the entire experience. I attended the Halloween Harvest last month, and had a great experience while able to social distance. For Christmas Celebration, I was not. The entire park was packed full of people. These people were not enforced to keep their masks on or social distance. Restaurants and shops were jam packed full of people not wearing masks correctly or social distancing. Ride lines were packed full of people not 6 feet apart, and nothing was seen being sanitized.. I was not able to walk and maintain 6 feet from anyone due to crowded areas. I was there with my family and spent nearly $200 dollars on tickets for only being able to be there for a maximum of 45 minutes due to feeling very uncomfortable. I spoke very highly of the Harvest Festival, but I am not able to say the same about Christmas. It was one of the worst experiences I have had. Now Im feeling as if I should quarantine for 14 days after trying to do something fun with my family. Very upsetting and money and time wasted.

Great, clean park. We came for the Christmas lights and special park show. Great singers and great decor. Only portions of the park were open and only about half of the rides were open. The price for admission is slightly reduced however -should be reduced a bit more than it was so make up for only a fraction of the amenities being open. They had a great beer selection and prices of drafts were reasonable. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food offered. Turkey dinner in the Oktoberfest building was disappointing. The cookie and hot chocolate building was neat and seemed to be great for kids. Meeting santa was a cool touch inside the old dark castle. Overall it was nice experience with the wife and the lights were romantic. We will likely return during the day /on season but the Christmas lights is something that is seen once and done.

We love Busch Gardens and have the family passes. And Christmas town is always our favorite. Was sad that Italy was closed this year, but after the 2020 weve all had it was just great to have some normalcy to our family traditions!

Beautiful theme park. There is so much to d and ride. The were a lot of cute stores to go in. Loved the pottery store. Cant wait to visit again.

I think 30% games have closed, but there are some games open still. I did have fun today. I just feel the park little too small

COVID 19 has greatly reduced the quality of the overall experience. We wont return until pandemic is over with.

Its a nice park Ive been there a couple of times and its usually always fun, the only advice I will give everybody is try to avoid going on halloween. The haunted houses are very very very very very disappointing and you will have to stand in long lines forever like 2+hour lines unless you wanna pay extra and take my word on this it is not worth it at all. Go any other time of the year.

Beautiful trip. Interesting way to spend a day. You can walk around the shopping district and eat at restaurants without a bus ticket. Great tip - get after 3:00 PM which is the next afternoon. October October November October

I know these are unusual times but honestly we expected a bit more. There were almost no rides open and even the festive food options advertised we did not see. The only coaster open closed about halfway through the time. I do not feel we got a good value experience for the cost.

I love Busch Gardens. We have had season passes for 20 plus years. This Christmas Celebration 2020 year is very disappointing. We do have a pandemic, but only half of the park is open. Thats not so much the concern as it is that the ticket price is $65. No discounts were being accepted. Only Festhaus is open for meals, and they are very small. They no longer serve cranberry sauce and a roll with the Christmas platter just turkey, beans, and potatoes. Yet its price is $14. We are very disappointed overall. Its not worth the cost.

Very family fun amusant Park with different parts of park sectioned off as different countries in the world. There are many fun rides and foods to eat, along with gift shops in different “countries” that represent them, such as Irish souvenirs.

First time visiting this park, although I knew that my ticket time were from 11am to 3pm. Only 30% of the park is open, the food is horrible, shops and rides were closing at 2pm. Dont get me wrong I understand that do to COVID alot has change but at lost give me my 4hrs completely. Our plan was to enjoy the park for 3 hrs and then shop at the end...well we couldnt.To you reading this comment, your $ and drive isnt worth to visit this park.Hope this helps.

I did the day time slot (10-3pm) of Christmas Town 2020. I wasnt expecting much but overall it was not too bad. I have season tickets so having a decent portion of the park closed was not a huge deal but I would never pay full price single day tickets for what you get. 3 roller coasters were open and a few other small rides. Absolutely NO shows! Many older people come here for the shows...well there are none. A large part of the park was closed...no Pompeii lights!!! No sky lifts!! Santa is available but placed behind a huge piece of plexiglass. The kids stand there and yell to him. Its sad and a bit comical at the same time. The biggest plus for me is that the place seemed pretty empty. I really liked that part! I think they are doing the best they can given the current situation but dont expect a lot for your $60 Christmas town ticket and $25 parking.

Coming from out of state and our first time at Busch Gardens so we were pretty excited. Only to get there and find out 4 coasters were open and more then half the park was closed! On their October Fest page on their website it literally says “ 15 ROLLER COASTERS AND RIDES“ so I assumed that’s what we would be getting. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the same page it lists the NINE rides in the entire park that are open, 4 of which were coasters. Paid $50/PP plus parking for 9 open rides. If you’re already a season pass holder I guess coming here during this time would make sense, otherwise, save your money.

Amazing theme park around the holidays. This was our second time coming for the Christmas lights and we will be back again. Most attractions are open during the day but the excitement gets kicked up when the sun goes down! The amount of lights is mind boggling. The train ride is a must for everyone. It takes you on a one-way tour of the entire park showing you places you can’t see without being in the ride.

I have been trying to get a refund since May, and I have gotten nothing but a run around. There is no live person to help to resolve this, everything done through email. If you get a live person, they will not help you, they direct you to send an email. Its terrible that a business this large and well known, havent put a better system in place. Very disappointed. I know Im not the only one trying to get a refund, I hope this post makes others reach out who are in the same situation as myself.

It was a lot of fun for the whole family. A bit too crowded, I think it would be better if they limit the number of tickets/people per day. It would be nice to have healthier & organic options in the restaurants. Accessible. Can rent a motorised scooter for $50. The park is beautiful to roam around. Lights at night make it more magical. Neat & clean.(visited in 2018)

Was absolutely beautiful for Christmas. We were visiting from North Carolina and would love to come back and visit when everything is open...

Ive been a platinum pass holder going on ten years, my wife has been a platinum pass holder for over 20 years. This park is beautiful, yet it suffers from its status as a second line park that is only open seasonally. Every year that I come to this park the customer service gets worse, culminating in a dreadful encounter at the guest services window, where a confrontational, customer service person, lorded her sole possession of the knowledge of being THE authority in platinum passes, while dispensing condescension, ridicule and scorn. Fortunately for me auto correct will finish my words on this review as someone reminds me to breath.Come to this park only towards the end of summer during its peak operating time when the seasonal crews have started to gel and customer service is at its least offensive.

I hate to give it three stars, but I was very disappointed in Busch Gardens. True, I am thankful that they are open during COVID-19, but I feel like they should adjust their prices for what they have open. All of Italy was closed along with Apollo’s Chariot, Tempesto, Mach Tower, Verboten, Loch Ness Monster, 75% of carnival games, and more. I enjoyed it there, but would like to see 65$/person go down, as a lot of stuff was closed.

The decorations were beautiful, however, we paid $75 per person and many parts of the park and most restaurants/rides were closed. For a 5 hour Christmas adventure, it was really lacking. Sad. Wouldnt do again.

Went during COVID with reservations required. Quite limited: only 2,000 at time in park, max 4 hours each time, with just half of park accessible. Still it was great; family friendly areas, most key attractions open, plenty of food, short lines, extremely thoughtful touches around park (sorry, no spoilers) by courteous staff. Only parking open already close to entry gates so no need to pay for VIP! Worth trip in 2020 or whenever you can break loose. Good day cation from madness of 2020.

Not worth it right now. Half the park is open for full ticket price.... plus extra for some Christmas lights and a meet Santa place. No shows either. Wait until covid is over to go.

Very disappointed in my visit last weekend. Less than 1/2 the park had Christmas lights and decorations. Not much spirit in the park. Park employees were talking to each and not really engaged with guest. Was told there’s more things open during the day. The grinch stole Christmas from Busch Gardens.

Requested a refund initially in April when the park closed. Then again in May. The refund was approved on Sept 6 but still has not been processed.Ive spoken to 6 different people who can not help. Weve been pass holders since 2006. Great way to treat loyal customers.

Great job on following Covid precautions including mandatory masks and temperature checks. Friendly staff, and we had a wonderful time on the Clydes and collies tour.

Great time, the Christmas lights were great, really enjoyed our time

I was VERY generous scoring a 1. I would have given a ZERO if I thought a zero would have been accepted. I had to pay $25.00 to park so I could pay $45.00 to get in so I could pay $31.00 (for 5 tickets) so I could pay $6.20 for 4 or 5 ounces of wine. Our reservation was from 5 to 9 and the places to use the tickets were basically closed at 8. I didnt use 2 of the tickets because there wasnt anything to spend them on. Other than 5 o6 6 rides everything else was closed.GREAT DEAL-for Bush Gardens!

Very disappointed at the lights and the fact that there was NO entertainment??? I realize we have to social distance and follow protocol, however it was a bit boring

BG is doing the best they can during covid but we left feeling like we were part of the minimum number of guests needed to keep the park up and running. I was thankful there were 3 coasters running but once you ride all 3 a couple times the walking gets old. Usually BG would get 5 stars. For now they get 4.

Such a little slice of heaven! The fam and I were looking at a safe from COVID place to unwind and we definitely got that and so much more. Since we arrived late and didnt want to setup our tent in the dark we stayed one night in a cabin, then another 3 nights in a tent campsite. The staff was so accommodating and I was so thrilled they could put us in a cabin with no notice. Saved my day for sure:) Our campsite was very large, clean, had tree cover almost completely above us and around us which made the one night it did rain a lot, seem really minimal. We packed nearly everything in the house certain we had everything we needed.... we were wrong lol. We were SO thankful for the large selection of camping, convenience and treats in the campground store. Oh, and dont even get me started on the awesome pool! Was soooo refreshing to take a relaxing swim! Just left 2 days ago and already planning our next trip back soon!

I wouldn’t waste your money on the Christmas event. It costs $40 a person to get in$25 to park your car and there is maybe 10 rides running most of those are roller coasters. The light display was mediocre at best. The train ride was mostly dark with very few light displays for you to go by. Most of the lights were on small trees on the path. The singers were nothing special and only two shows. The only thing that was fully open was places for you to spend more money like gift shops and food places. Kings dominions light display last year was way better and they had more rides for the elementary school age kids.

While I dont agree with them being open during a world-wide pandemic, theyve done remarkably well in attempting to maintain distancing. Ive reduced a star due to high-priced food. One shouldnt have to pay $7 for a single scoop of risotto, no matter the quality. Risotto, much like friends, is to be desired in a plentiful amount, but not so much that it becomes suffocating. A hearty band of three is more than enough to warm the soul, likewise three scoops should prove bountiful enough to warrant the risottos price. But what do I know?

The website booked the wrong park. I asked for a refund, they refused. They are not accommodating at all. Terrible customer service. I asked for a refund weeks in advanced but they would rather keep your money, than accommodate you.

I had fun, but dont bother with the train. No lights. There is Christmas music, but not like normal. Maybe they are working on it, right now its sad though.

I am very disappointed with my visit! Drove across the country for Christmas Town and they closed all the rides because it was cool! Its been almost a decade since visiting and in years past that never happened! Sad memories for my kids.

It is a blessing to live so close to The Worlds Most Beautiful Theme Park. Whether visiting in spring, summer, fall, or winter, there is something for everyone at this magnificent place. As with many other things these days, its not quite as good as before covid, but theyre doing their absolute best given the restrictions. If youve never come before, Id recommend waiting to visit until the entire park is open with all the rides, shows, and other attractions. It can certainly get really crowded, but theres enough to do that except during Halloween, the lines usually arent too bad.

Operations, food, and entertainment were great, employees werent enforcing social distancing at a time were cases are going up other than that it would be 5 stars, Right now its a hazard to have so many people grouped up closely without many restrictions.

What an amazing experience and awesome park. Great family experience that will be cherished.

Great Park and I cant think of a better home park to call then Busch gardensI away get pass and they dont have the most coaster but, at least they are all quality rides unlike six flags or kings dimoin. And all the staff all aways helpfull. The food is great and is as well themed as Disney, Keep it up bgw

Beautiful and wonderful experience. I came with my significant other on 10/15/2020 my birthday. Ambiance was and is very nice. Itll take you into another world. The attraction builds and set ups were very appealing and authentic to theme. They have quarters that resemble medieval England, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland with replica castles and other cultural architecture of that time. In the Irish quarter, theres a restaurant called Grogans Grill which provides excellent guest service and really good food. I was happily to be served by April and Lawrence whom went above and beyond their required duties. April and Lawrence would be the soul reason Id visit again. I had ordered the shrimp poboy and my significant other ordered the fish and chips. Id highly recommend trying both. Waffle fries were a great addition. Both Besides the great service and food, they also have wonderful rides, scenic areas, and live animals which would entertain every member of the family. Top rollercoaster hands down is the Lochness Monster coaster. Overall, it was a wonderful, memorable, nostalgic and blissful day full of excitement, joy, wonder, and great laughs. Highly Recommended!!!!

We paid $110 for two tickets for our son and our friend from out of state and only a quarter of the park was open.. minimal shops and rides were open and there was nothing for Halloween besides lighting. Most disappointing trip to an amusement park weve ever made. I understand covid made things a little harder, but to charge $50/ ticket + $10 in processing fees to walk around and have 3/4 of the park unavailable makes me wonder if buying season passes or fighting to get reservations was worth it. They didnt even have an outdoor corn maze or their usual characters dressed up in costume.

First off, only a 1/4 of the park is open and you wont be able to even walk around the entire park as the roads are blocked. We enjoy walking the whole park and Im sure others do as well. Besides that, it was fun for the kids to get out and they did have the log ride running:)

Had a great time got to take pictures with jack and they even had a bald eagle out

Due to COVID (although online they said due to Christmas Celebration), over half of the park was closed. No shows, limited rides, and, overall, not worth the money. They didn’t miss an opportunity to make money though; every gift shop, food stand, picture booth and arcade game was up and going.

We went for the Food and Wine limited capacity event (Due to COVID-19 restrictions). We were nervous about going, but were very happy to see that all of the employees were following proper COVID guidelines, and only a small number of patrons were not wearing masks when and how they should be. We saw park staff regularly cleaning high traffic areas. There were very few people as compared to a normal day at BG. It was wonderful, I kinda wish the capacity was always that low! There were no lines we waited in more than a few minutes if at all. The food and drink sampler was worth every penny and all of the food/drink options were very tasty.

Fun for the family. No foul language to be heard. Plenty for the small children to do and a very nice job by the landscape crew to keep the park beautiful. I must say though I am from Yorktown so I am a little bias but is deff approve this for good clean family fun.

Great safety practices! PLEASE find a way to keep the reservations for members or at least include quick que with passes if some sort of reservation system can be maintained. This was the BEST trip my children and I have had to BG in years! Began questioning if the memberships were worth it due to the business and long waits unless I pay Even MORE for quick que. My son has ADHD so the lines are at times very unbearable. Job well done through Covid-19!

Ive been a long time pass holder. Ive been waiting on a refund for months now. Ive spoken to numerous people telling me that my refund should be in my account within a few weeks. That was over a month ago. The process of the refunds are very much understood. But when a representative tells me I should have had my refund in a few weeks as a long time patron thats what I expect!! The refund needs to be honored like it was promised by an employee.

We visited today and had a positive first impression. We were glad to see they were allowing a limited number of people enter and you had to have reservations in advance. Masks were required, hand sanitizer is everywhere, and there are 6ft space reminders. They were advertising a food and wine event where you could buy 5 tickets for $30 to use throughout the park. This is where things went south. It may have been the rain, but we couldnt find 5 places to use our tickets that were open. We tried to get our money back but they refused. Additionally there were only 2 or 3 rides open. I would recommend coming back when its safe for them to open the entire park, you definitely do not get your moneys worth in the current state.

Paid $90 for two tickets and half of the Park was closed! Only the smokehouse was opened and paid $40 for 2 pieces of unseasoned chicken and Mac and Cheese. Everyone has to wear mask of course but the vibe overall was just depressing. No one looked happy to be there. Busch Gardens is an EXPERIENCE. When it was completely open and thriving it’s a magical place to be, with the live shows, vendors, kids running around happy and everyone smiling and having a good time..now it’s just depressing and disappointing. No one looked happy to be there. My son and I got on two rides and then left. They should have just kept the park closed until the state decides to reopen. It really was a rip off! My son and I was so upset I nearly cried. I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased my ticket. If you are reading this, please do not waste your time or money! Trust me, it was not worth it.

Happy I went. Good walk around the park.

I highly recommend the smoke ribs. The free admission for military and their families is a nice touch which is greatly appreciated by all. We really enjoyed the all the shows. Especially Gloria. It was about the birth of our savior, the true reason we celebrate Christmas. Even though the Christmas train ride line was long at the end of the night, it moved quickly. Christmas Town with its millions of lights, festive shows and rides, although limited, include a 20 minute round trip train ride starting from France. There are great member perks - free guest tickets, $10 to spend, free quick queue passes, free ornaments, and free appetizers during the Food & Wine Festival. Kept my interest was so happy then I went in to see them. Be prepared to walk lots (i.e. wear good shoes!) and bring sunscreen and a hat. Busch Gardens has fun for the very young and old.

Just came here today, and I felt like it’s not worth it to visit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Only a few of the rides are open. You have to do reservations and buy ticket online previously and have a limited time. Parking is $25.

My home park and what a park she is! A great collection of roller coasters, several other thrill rides and flats, and plenty of fun for the little ones. Absolutely beautiful scenery and several animal encounters. Make a trip out when you can, its a great time!

What a wonderful family location. We had a spectacular time. I truly love that they said Merry Christmas and not Happy Holidays. We really enjoyed the all the shows. Especially Gloria. It was about the birth of our savior, the true reason we celebrate Christmas. They truly did a spectacular job on the light displays. If you have the opportunity, take your family. They will love it.

We had an annual pass last year that expired in December. In March, we noticed that they did not stop charging our credit card. My wife called and they said that we will be refunded. In May, I called since we never received the refund and they told me that because of Coronavirus and offices being closed, it was delayed. In July I called again and it was the same excuse, but they said that we were still in the que to be refunded. Now its September 1st and still no sign of the refund. I called and it was the same story. No time frame as to how long..... 6 more months? 6 years? 60 years? They didnt know. Its funny how quickly they can take your money, but it takes over 6 months to return it.

This is a huge amusement park were at any age you can be a kid. There really is something for everyone here; food, rides, shows, games, and attractions. The park can accommodate couples to large groups, very family friendly. The park is celebrating 44 years and has a large tree canopy over much of the park that provides shade. The park is well maintained in a beautiful natural setting. If you visit on a busy weekend, you may want to consider a multiple day pass so you can experience everything. Ride or attraction lines tend to get long. Also get there earlier than opening time, the ticket both lanes jam up pretty quickly and you could be sitting in your car for an hour just to get a parking space. Also you will have to pay a separate parking fee of at least $20 not included in the admission price. Not a lot of shade in the parking lot. There are at least 3 water rides for the hottest of days and a childrens park with water activities too. The park is limited to coke products and there are plenty of food options, but food and drinks are highly marked up. You can always pack a cooler and eat in the parking lot.

We attended the Christmas festival, it was very nice. There werent a lot of rides open.

I love this place and always have a wonderful time. The food is good and the rides are great. It is so nice to have some place to go that is outside and has a good bit to do. The shops are a lot of fun as well!

One of my favorite amusement parks! Beautiful landscaping and a clean park. The roller coasters are awesome! Cant wait to try the new one.

Been going here since I was but a wee fetus. The place is perfect in every way that a theme park could be. Fun is everywhere, and the memories are memorable. Ive never had a bad time here, through the good 50 or so times Ive been there. I recommend it, to anyone.

Nothing for us folks over 60 to do. We no longer do roller coasters. Spent 2.5 hours exploring, saw nothing I havent see before. So much of it is closed. The train ride, the boat ride and the tram are all closed. Visiting from Wisconsin. Feel like I wasted my time and my money.

Visited Busch Gardens this morning. Very disappointed...entrance was beautifully decorated. But from there on, it went downhill. Going through the gate attendant told I had to go back up the hill to get dinner reservation confirmation. Discovered it was on the ticket I had given him, The only country that had a lot of decorations was France with the 12 Days of Christmas. Meal was a processed cheeseburger with fries, a drink and grapes. Definitely not worth the money.

Normally I would give Busch Gardens a five star review. However we went last week during the coronavirus and it was terribly disappointing. Unfortunately its not cuz the park wasnt beautiful. Its not because the staff wasnt pleasant. It was because they opened it back up during this crazy coronavirus mess but only opened a very small portion of the park. We traveled 60 miles to get there and rode everything available and visited what few shops were open and we were done in less than 2 hours. Only The Smokehouse was open at this time. It was hot so we decided to leave at 1. We got there when they opened at 11. I know these are trying times but coming that far for that little is really not worth it. Busch Gardens will get their five star review Once the world opens back up like it should. And we will return. Weve been season pass holders for over 30 years. Our last visit was disappointing but we know it will get better. Its time for the state to open stuff back up like normal.

I have been a pass member here for over 10 years and I live over 4 hours away. The park is ALWAYS immaculate and we always have the best time. Although its sad to see the majority of the park closed right now because of covid, I also appreciate the parks effort in keeping everyone safe while still being open.

Had a great time using the free military appreciation pass. Bought the 10 sample pass for food and drinks and had a great time sampling while waiting for the rain to let up and the rides to be back up.

Its hit or miss with this place. Ive gone and had a blast. The last time I went & took my 3 yr old son. At the end of the night, when things were closing & we were all the way across the park, we were in line for the sky ride to head out & they told us it was closed. Before closing time making us walk the entire length of the park. Before we got out, all the lights were off and we were walking out with employees. Absolutely counterproductive to shut down a means of transportation to the exit of the park before its closed. I made a reservation for this Friday and brought it up to my now 4 yr old son & he remembers this experience so well that he doesnt even want to go so I called to cancel my reservation. The right thing to do in case my spot can be refilled took me 22 minutes on the phone, 20 of which on hold. Rides are great. Customer service is garbage so - 3 stars.

I was really disappointed with my experience. We went to the night halloween this Saturday. It was extremely boring. There was no one around to scare us. Not a whole lot of rides. We did enjoy the couple we went on. Got a sample card and was able to use 2 of them because there wasnt many choices for kids except for at the front and they were closed by the time we left.

Coaster and Brew event was nice. Needed another coaster open to make it a bit better but overall the atmosphere was laid back and pleasant. Good mix of beers available.

Staff were awesome and everything was cleaned. There is only a portion of the park that was open, so just be aware. Im not sure if the park was at its new capacity, but we were able to ride every ride that was open multiple times.

There are very few people including employees. One shop here or there open around the park.Cool think is the Face covering relaxation zone go sit without your mask on and get a break from. Your mask.The countries open are England, Ireland, France and small part of October fest.Hand sanitizer is all over and employees do correct people not wearing masks or wearing them correctly. Tables are blocked off and so are benches to improve social distancing.They are making an effort.

Ive always loved this park. They were operating at minimal capacity and on event schedule only at the time we went, due to covid-19. This was still a decent experience.Military can get in free using Waves of Honor and ID.me

Busch Gardens are wonderful. We love the beautiful landscaping and the cleanliness of the park. The food and drinks are good, the staff are friendly. The rides are good, and appropriately-graduated based on kids heights. Overall it is a great place to spend time with friends and family and make memories.

Drivers!!! For delivery here, get off on 243A from I64. Take US-60 and turn left. There will be truck signs indicating where to go. You will turn left at first light and continue on that road up to the guard shack. They will come out and tell you where to go. All one way once in the park, so easy to navigate.

The Good:This park is usually worthy of five stars. They have excellent food, rollercoasters and even animal performers! The park sections are themed as European countries. You can take train rides and chairlifts throughout the park. I really enjoyed the autumn/Halloween atmosphere. Overall, this park is usually worth driving out of state.The Bad:I couldn’t help but feel like my family and I got ripped off this year. I realized that due to COVID that some areas of the park would not be available. However, Busch Gardens could have been more clear about the term “open”. You pay 60% of the price for a third of the park and you have a four hour window. A lot of what makes this park great is closed off. It was very disappointing to see so little of it.Also, if you decide to go this year. Make sure you have a reservation! Many families were turned down because of this.Minor request to Busch Gardens: Please add more background music and mix up the sound effects. It’s a bit repetitive.

This is a pretty amazing place yes, but it doesn’t compare to when it’s Christmas town. I will never in my life forget that amazing experience. Not only that but I witnessed my first snow in the very part while it was Christmas town so it was pretty magical.

I hadnt been to Busch Gardens in over 30 years. Spent the day here using the free Veterans tickets. Have to say, it was fun. The boys went off on their own (being teenagers) as soon as we entered the park. So, ended up following the path around the whole place. Enjoyed people watching, taking in each country as it came along. Even had fun at the Sesame Street park for the little kids since Im a big kid myself. Ample sitting benches & shaded areas to get out of the sun. The signs are pretty easy to read so you can get to where you wanna go. Maps are available at each country. Lines werent too bad. Food prices are up there so getting a meal & drink package is worth it if spending the whole day in the park.

Very cool park, great theming and fun rides. Love the whole park being built into the forest, makes it not nearly as hot when the sun is out.

Very, very expensive....yet an Amazingly beautiful, fun experience. All the colors and trees; you just cant put into words, you have to experience it. Loved the shows Gloria, the Grinch, and ice skating. All so professionally done. Kept my interest was so happy then I went in to see them. The shows are entertainment you just cannot miss.

Weve had season passes for years and loved every second of it. Cobid has ofcourse made it a lot harder to come, and a lot of rides have been shut down, but nonetheless its still a GORGEOUS park and a delightful time. Get the BBQ if youre planning to eat here.

Great family memories.

Great for fun and thrills. Tough for the staff to keep the guidelines adhered to.

Really awesome park!! Some rides were a bit scarier than I expected lol but it was well worth it!! Would definitely come back!

I bought season passes for my Fiancee Birthday before I new that I had to make reservations to get into the park. The day I bought the passes they didnt have any spaces opened. I wanted to take him to Bush Gardens (HALLOWEEN Harvest ) for his birthday 10/29. The morning before his bday they had an open spot on his Bday from 5pm to 9pm. We ended up taking my mom( Ive never been to any amusement park with her so it was so fun to see her have so much fun). We all had fun but they closed off half the park and didnt have Hallowoscream like they normally do so I was a little bit disappointed.

Paid for a membership, then the pandemic struck. Still have to pay for the membership without using the park. While Busch Gardens was fun while its open, to still ask for membership even when the park is closed is outrageous. No respect for costumers, just plain greedy.

Such an amazing place to visit with family.

Had a blast. Wish the whole park was open but otherwise a very pleasant trip.

I have been going to this theme park every year since 2009, & I love it! It has amazing shows, for every season its open. It has amazing food and drinks (especially during Howl Scream), and great rides. My sister and I go up almost every weekend its open, no matter the season, to either see just the shows or just to eat. Its a great place for families, or even to meet up with friends that you havent seen in a while (which my sister & I also do). Im a pass member and dont see that changing anytime soon.

An amazing park. Having grown up in Florida Im use to Disney. I did not think anyone else could pull off a Disney-level experience. Busch Gardens has. Of course, the rides are bigger and badder than a Disney park. But the themes are just as good. Clean park. Wonderful staff.

Joke of a park during the covid-19 experience right now. Half of the park is open to reduce capacity yet by doing that everyone is all in one part of the park together. Makes no sense. The only good ride open is the griffin and again, everyone is all in one spot making the line ridiculously long. Waste of time and might as well stayed closed!

I wish with the reduced hours, they would reduce the price of renting a scooter. I spent 50.00 plus tax for 3 hours to be able to spend the time with family.

Fun park and no lines !!

Love this place. We go every year. Howl o scream is the best time of year to go.

It was a good time for social distancing. Went for Coasters and craft brews. Most places offer at least a sampling of craft with the opportunity to buy. At $9.00 a beer and only three Coasters there should have been something.

Great park, clean and tidy some great rides, well worth the visit form the UK.

Busch gardens did a fantastic job enforcing rules and keeping people safe! We watched an employee nicely ask someone to put their mask up, the person went crazy and spit at the employee, and they called security/police and got her removed from the park. It was awesome.

Very fun . Fun place to go my fav ride is the griffin.and the wait time is not that bad for rides food is yum yum.

Came here for my first time to the Christmas village and it was a blast! So many pretty lights around the park and the atmosphere was just beautiful. It was really like you were walking through a winter wonderland and really puts you in the Christmas spirit. I cant Express enough on how good the shows were! They were so well put together and everyone did an amazing job! And you can still do the rides and get pictures with santa among with so many other fun things! It has something for everyone. If you are looking for something Christmas to do I would highly recommend coming here! Its well worth it.

This park is amazing. they have quality food, the park is always very clean, they are very environmentally aware, and are very safe, the rides are all great, the staff are nice and welcoming, and there are plenty of shows to watch, there are lots of animals that you can see and you can even feed some of them, and the price is worth it, the rides barely ever break down and are kept in good condition, the park has lots of greenery and is overall beautiful. I hope this review convinces you to visit the park. stay safe
