Williamsburg, Virgina. This is where it all began…the birthplace of the American dream.

The thriving 18^th century town of Williamsburg was the largest and most populated of Britain’s original 13 colonies. Yet it was also a place where colonial unrest for equality, freedom and independence eventually grew into a revolution that changed the face of the world.

Today Williamsburg looks much as it did during those early colonial times. And you can experience those early days by visiting what has become America’s largest living history museum. 

Williamsburg is a place where you will be enveloped by the sights, sounds and stories of Colonial times. The old Historic area offers more than 500 original and reconstructed public buildings, 40 exhibit buildings, plus myriad private homes, quaint inns and taverns, shops and 90 acres of beautiful public parks and gardens. 

History aside, Williamsburg is also home to modern day wonders, including Busch Gardens, regularly voted the world’s “most beautiful theme park.”  You’ll also find a fun-filled water park, amazing shopping, dining for all tastes and budgets, championship golf and plenty of other attractions and entertainment spots.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is ready to officially open for the 2010 season on March 26. Visitors will be greeted with not one but two all new original attractions with a definitive European flair.

Now you can fly away with Europe in the Air, an innovative high-tech simulator ride that rockets you past the continent’s most famous sights-from Stonehenge to the Eiffel Tower, over the Alps and on to the Roman Coliseum. After that adventure, you can dive into a brand new live show set  in Ireland where you can join in a fun-filled celebration of Irish dance, music, songs and storytelling.

The two new attractions provide a special glimpse of Europe and the ancient culture of Ireland. Of course, you’ll also continue to enjoy the many other thrill rides, attractions, shows and special events at Busch Gardens theme park.
