Visit Busch Gardens in December

Located just minutes from historic Williamsburg and across the street from Busch Gardens® Williamsburg, Parkside Williamsburg Resort is the perfect place to enjoy a memorable family-fun getaway. This two-bedroom deluxe unit features a full kitchen and two baths, a balcony/porch, a washer/dryer, and a fireplace.

Head out for an exploration of America’s colonial past at historic Williamsburg–America's largest outdoor living museum–where actors in period costume re-enact life as it was in 18th century America, and centuries-old architecture has been lovingly restored. Witness exciting historic reenactments, enjoy world-class museums, take a carriage ride along cobblestone streets, and shop for one-of-a-kind souvenirs. Complete your tour with a visit to nearby Yorktown and Jamestown, which form part of the area's historic triangle. Enjoy the thrill of world-class gravity-defying roller coasters or take a relaxing Rhine River cruise through beautiful gardens at Busch Gardens® Williamsburg, plus sample international cuisines, live entertainment and much more for kids of all ages! At night, your front door at the resort is the perfect place to watch the fireworks display from the park.

What better place to be transported to the warmth of Christmas than Williamsburg, where smoke billows from chimneys, flickering flames light cobblestone streets and the scent of cider and the sounds of carols waft into the winter night. Plus, the season is packed with special holiday festivities and events unmatched anywhere else.

Thrill to the largest Christmas light display in North America at Busch Gardens Christmas Town, aglow with more than 10 million bulbs. Nowhere else can you travel the globe in just one place in the world’s most beautiful theme park. Explore traditions near and far — from Ireland and France to Germany and Italy. In "Gloria," one of the holiday shows, Ireland's Abbey Stone Theater comes alive with the story of the first Christmas. In "Deck the Halls," warm up inside Das Festhaus with a live musical tribute to Christmas traditions.
