Busch Gardens Europe is the new name for Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. The park was originally known as “The Old Country”. Attractions at this park include “Curse of DarKastle”, “Alpengeist”, “Escape from Pompeii”, “Apollo’s Chariot”, “Loch Ness Monster” and “Big Bad Wolf”. A new roller coaster, “Griffon”, is the tallest dive coaster in the world and the only floorless dive coaster.

Voted one of the most beautiful theme parks in America, Busch Gardens Europe is divided into sections, each themed to a different European country… England, Scotland, Italy, Germany, France and Ireland. With dozens of thrilling rides and attractions, ten main stage shows, a wide variety of authentic foods and shops, and a magical children’s area, Busch Gardens Williamsburg is the ticket to a world-class adventure.

Shows and entertainment abound throughout the park from 4-D comedy adventures for the entire family at the Globe Theatre, to high-energy oompah song and dance that will have you dancing up a German storm at “Oktoberfest”.
