Christmas Town at Busch Gardens

The day after Christmas we decided to check out Busch Garden's Christmas Town, something new they did this year for the holiday season. Joylyn brought her best friend, Hazel, along for the fun!

Christmas Town: A Christmas Celebration transformed Busch Gardens into a Christmas wonderland with holiday shopping, dining, all-new holiday shows, and a spectacular light-dancing Christmas tree. Some highlights of Christmas Town at Busch Gardens
were strolling through bustling European town squares (England, France, Ireland, Scotland and Germany) complete with carolers set amid traditional greenery, classic red bows, holiday lights and candles glowing in every shop and restaurant window.
*Smelling the aroma of holiday treats and enjoy hearty soups, smoked meats, freshbaked holiday cookies and peppermint hot chocolate.
*Visiting the Abbey Stone Theatre for an all-new Christmas show with moving imagery, choral harmonies, and a full live orchestra.
*Exploring an ice-themed world with dazzling lights, falling snow and an up-close encounter with live penguins at the Royal Palace Theatre.
*Visiting Santa’s workshop at the North Pole to meet St. Nick himself before heading to Oktoberfest to view Virginia’s tallest lighted Christmas tree. This 45-foot LED tree stands taller than Das Festhaus and features computerized lights that dance and change color during special evening light shows.
