Busch Gardens Europe - A Taste of the Old Country in Williamsburg, Virginia

Busch Gardens Europe is located off of interstate 64 right between Richmond and the Hampton Roads area. Nestled in a wooded area right off of route 60 in Williamsburg, Virginia, you will find a true theme park where the experiences of Old World Europe come to you. Busch Gardens Europe is a great addition to a family vacation to Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown and shouldn't be missed.

As you exit 64, you are dropped conveniently right into the Busch Gardens parking lot. It is evident immediately that your surroundings are slowly transforming as you park among the flags of Germany, Ireland, England, France, and Italy in parking lots named for those nations. You will pay $10.00 to park your car for the day and ride a tram to the front gate (you can leave and come back, but don't lose your receipt or you will pay again.) For a little more, you can park within walking distance to the front gate. Once you reach the front gate, you pay admission, which is to be expected. Busch Gardens is a bit highly priced compared to its competitors considering that there is no water park included in admission. There are several admission prices, but $54.95 is the one day, adult admission price. They also offer a "pay once, visit all summer" ticket that is $59.95 - obviously the better deal if you are a resident who lives close enough to go more than once in a season. Busch Gardens also offers a variety of park-hopper passes and multi-day tickets online, as well as season passes. Children and seniors get various discounted tickets as well.
