Top 5 Reasons to Spend Spring Break at Busch Gardens Williamsburg

Spring has sprung at the World’s Most Beautiful Theme Park, and there’s no better place to spend your much-deserved time off. Whether you are looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy the sun, or a thrill-filled adventure, Busch Gardens Williamsburg offers an experience for all. Just in case you aren’t already cruising down I-64 on the way to Exit 243A, here are five reasons why you won’t want to miss out on a Spring Break trip:

1) 9 AWARD-WINNING COASTERS

Let’s dive right in and say it…you aren’t living your best Spring Break life until you plunge straight down 205 feet on Griffon, or plummet over each air-time hill on Apollo’s Chariot. And have you checked the box for riding Pantheon, the world’s fastest multi-launch coaster?

2) WORLD-CLASS ENTERTAINMENT

Now let’s sit back and relax with a cool beverage, a warm Italian meal and the sweet serenade of the ALL-NEW Sounds of San Marco, featuring feel-good ballads and lively medleys. Then, connect with the heart and soul of Irish tradition during a classic with Celtic Fyre, voted the #1 theme park entertainment by USA Today.

3) SESAME STREET® KIDS’ WEEKENDS

Busch Gardens promises family-friendly fun for all with an event tailored for our youngest guests, on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays through April 23. Join Elmo, Cookie Monster, and all of your Sesame Street® friends for a festive springtime celebration with NEW themes every week, a Sesame Street® live show in the Globe Theatre, a flower maze, crafts and more.

4) UP-CLOSE ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

Just because you’ve closed the textbooks for the week doesn’t mean you can’t learn something new. Head over to Eagle Ridge or Wolf Haven for some fun facts to take back to the classroom. Say hello to Poppy and Thistle, the iconic Scottish Highland Cattle, grazing in the green pastures. Then, snap a family photo with a smiling Clydesdale to remember your day.

5) ALL-NEW INDULGENCES

Stop by two of our latest creations, the NEW England Sweet Shoppe and Bürgermeister's Hideaway, for a culinary experience like no other. Having recently opened, the England Sweet Shoppe boasts a new look while offering your favorite homemade treats like fudge, specialty donuts and artisan coffee. For those looking for a more discreet beverage experience, Bürgermeister's Hideaway is a one-of-a-kind speakeasy offering seasonally inspired beverage flights with an entertaining flair. Make your reservation now!

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is open daily now through April 23. We hope to see you soon!
