Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA is a great theme park to take the whole family to. There are a variety of rides including the mighty Griffon, which carries its riders 205 feet into the air before it throws them 90 degrees straight down at 70 mph. And then there is the battering ram, which is for the younger kids as well as the older ones. On the battering ram you are thrown back and forth going higher and higher into the air.
While you are there make sure you see some of the greatest shows. “Emerald Beat,” a powerful production from Dublin-based O’Shea’s School of Irish Dance, celebrates Irish heritage through uniquely choreographed dance and an original music score. Emerald Beat is sure to keep guests entertained with the contemporary fusion of traditional Irish dance with breathtaking scenic special effects and exquisitely-designed lighting enhancements. Emerald Beat is presented in the park’s Abbey Stone Theatre numerous times daily.
Families seeking a vacation filled with diverse entertainment will find Busch Gardens and the surrounding historic area of Williamsburg just the ticket. No where else can families experience a record-breaking roller coaster, visit an Irish village, catch a cool wave, chat with Thomas Jefferson and explore a Powhatan Indian Village all in the same day. It’s a vacation where families can experience American history and tour Europe without jet lag.
