Day 1 -
Busch Gardens Williamsburg
If you are only planning to spend three days in Williamsburg, set one full day aside for Busch Gardens Williamsburg. If you are only spending a day here decide ahead of time which attractions and shows are most important to you. You can see a lot in a day, but it is doubtful that you will get to explore all of the park’s rides, shows and shops in just one day. At least an hour in Sesame Place is a must if you have little ones as well as an hour in the Land of the Dragons (bathing suites recommended but not required for both). For bigger kids there are four major roller coasters in addition to the parks other rides. It is a good idea to plan at least a half hour per coaster in case there is a line.
Depending on your energy level and budget you can enjoy both lunch at dinner at the park with foods in each of Busch Gardens’ countries reminiscent of traditional fare. Fast food options are also readily available throughout the park. If you are on a smaller budget plan to leave the park for meals. There are a number of restaurants just outside of the park but be sure to get your hand stamped and save your parking pass for easy same day reentry.
If traveling from June 26 through Mid-August there will be a nightly fireworks display at the park each night.
Day 2 -
Water Country USA & Ripley’s Believe it or Not
• Spend the day exploring the wild water rides of Water Country USA. As with Busch Gardens you probably want to arrive between 10am – 11am, however your day will end earlier, probably around 4pm and you will have been able to fully explore the park. With adult water slides, kiddie pools and everything in between, there is something here for everyone.
Eat at the park or bring a picnic. If you leave for lunch you will have to drive about five minutes before reaching local restaurants.
• When you arrive back at the hotel plan for a few minutes of relaxation before heading out for the evening.
• Head for Richmond Road for dinner where you will find a wide variety of both chain restaurants and local favorites. Also on Richmond Road you will find Ripley’s Believe It or Not, perfect for evening entertainment. Enjoy their 4-D Movie Experience and try your skills at their impossible Laser Maze (think the movie Entrapment)
Day 3 -
Colonial Williamsburg & Spooks and Legends
• Colonial Williamsburg offers another full day of fun for the entire family. Start at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center for a list of that days special programs and events. Spend the morning exploring Colonial Buildings including the wigmaker and blacksmith shops with special emphasis on the Capitol Building and Governor’s Palace.
For lunch head to Merchant’s Square for some of Virginia’s best local dining and specialty shopping. A visit to the Cheese Shop for one of their signature sandwiches is always a treat! After lunch spend a little time in the shops and galleries in Merchant’s Square.
The Revolutionary City is where you will want to spend most of the afternoon. This captivating reenactment takes place near the Capitol building and makes history fun and entertaining as it draws you into the story.
The historic area buildings close at 5pm, but shops and dining remain open in Merchant’s Square. Dinner in a Colonial Tavern will be an experience you are sure not to forget.
• Depending on your dates of travel Spooks and Legends Ghost Tours meet near the Trellis Restaurant in Merchant’s Square for an entertaining evening authentic ghost stories about people and buildings in the historic area. At only $11 per ticket this might just be the best value of your entire trip!
