Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Theme park and animal park in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg spans over 400 acres with European-themed sections representing England, France, Germany, Italy, and Ireland with gardens and attractions.
The park opened its doors in 1975 as part of Anheuser-Busch's expansion into entertainment venues and grew from a hospitality center into a major attraction.
Each themed section presents authentic architecture, traditional foods, and entertainment specific to its European country, from German pretzels to Italian opera performances.
The park provides transportation services from the parking areas, offers rental lockers at major attractions, and maintains first aid stations throughout all sections.
Visitors can watch Scottish blackface sheep grazing freely in the Highland Stables while bagpipers perform traditional music in the Scotland section of the park.
