Busch Gardens® Williamsburg Opens for the 2016 Season March 20

Thrill-seekers and vacation-needers: rejoice! Busch Gardens® Williamsburg opens for another season of fun and adventure on March 20.

For those looking for a spring getaway, Busch Gardens has it covered. From March 20 through April 10, the Virginia theme park is open every day for spring break. That’s three weeks of rides, shows, animal encounters, games, food and memories for the making.

The adventure doesn’t end after spring break. A year packed full of exciting events and thrilling attractions awaits visitors of all ages.

Busch Gardens invites guests to Spring Into Fun with special entertainment and activities for children and families.  Elmo Rocks!, a live stage show featuring everyone’s favorite furry friends, kicks off the season with a special engagement at The Globe Theatre through May 1.  Throughout April and May, the park comes alive with special performances by popular children’s acts in the KIDsiderate® Concert Series, top contemporary Christian artists at Glory at the Gardens and world-renown animal expert Jack Hanna with amazing creatures.

Spring is also a great time to discover your inner foodie at Busch Gardens.  The new Marco Polo’s Marketplace joins the park’s famous line-up of dining options with an eclectic menu inspired with the lands explored by Marco Polo.  Then, discover even more culinary treasures as the Busch Gardens® Food and Wine Festival returns May 27-June 26, featuring new food and drink offerings in a lively festival atmosphere.

Celebrate a Summer of Thrills with even more heart-pounding excitement, including the debut of the new action show All For One™.  This nighttime spectacular brings the three Musketeers to life like never before, in a show unlike any other at Busch Gardens.

As summer winds down, Busch Gardens rolls out three signature events that transform the park from fun to frightening to festive:  Busch Gardens Bier Fest, Howl-O-Scream® and Christmas Town®.
