Well my family and I went to Busch Gardens Europe last year and I could not wait to go back. I just loved this park. The park is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the shows are excellent. This year we saw Pet Shenanigans (again!), Secrets of Castle O’Sullivan, and the String Quartet in Italy. This park really must hire some talented people to do these shows. The String Quartet were professional violinists. They were excellent. Pet Shenanigans is always a great show for the kids. This is almost the exact same show that they have at SeaWorld. The tricks that these animals do is amazing. I am not usually a fan of amusement park food, but you have to eat at this park. There is the most delicious BBQ I have ever tasted throughout the park, They have chicken, brisket, ribs, biscuits, corn on the cob and even delicious desserts. Yum!!! There’s a small zoo within the park. There are white wolves on display and they have a show starring the wolves as well. It was pretty cool. There is an enclosed area that you can walk through that contains beautiful birds. These birds were so friendly. Several of them were landing on my husband left and right. He looked like the Pet Detective. One bird pooped on his backpack. You can buy a small cup of juice for the birds and they will fly to your hand and drink from the cup. It’s a very cool experience and of course the kids will love it. Check out the pics of my husband with a bird on his back! There not many water rides at this park so if you’re going on a very hot day then bring one of those water bottles with a fan on it to keep you cool. There is a log flume ride and you can get soaked on that, but that’s about it. Busch gardens is only 1 hour from the beach so you can get a really nice vacation if you stay at the beach and travel to Williamsburg for a day or two. The theme of this park is Europe – they have Ireland, England, Germany, and Italy. There are really nice shops in every country along with ethnic foods to choose from. There are ride throughout Busch Garden for every single person in your family. This park is very expensive, but if you save up and take the kids when they’re a little older, then everyone will enjoy an awesome day (or two) at busch gardens!!
