We decided not to take our kids (ages 3 and 5) and for this year it was a wise decision. Even though we have taken them to Busch Gardens over the summer, the boys just can't sit still through shows and wouldn't have enjoyed that part. I think next year we will be able to take them. I wanted to put that disclaimer because even if you have small kids, you might be able to take them.
We got to the park around 3 and first decided to go and watch a show. We watched a show called Gloria and it was spectacular. We felt it was the best of all of the shows we saw. The actors did a fabulous job and the singing was wonderful. They did all of the scenes of The Christmas Story. I would recommend seeing this show if you have a chance to go.
Once it got dark, the park was a magical winter wonderland of twinkling lights. It was amazing how they were able to transform different areas of the park. They drained water from the Pompeii ride and filled the moats with blue lights to look like water. It was gorgeous.
One of our favorite things was to ride the train around the park to see the lights. Even though it was cold, the weather wasn't freezing and we had a great time riding around the park and seeing the lights from different angles.
They have a nice Santa land so if you decide to visit and have kids, you will come away with a beautiful Santa picture.
I'd recommend checking out Busch Gardens Christmas Town. I'd also recommend keeping your eyes out for discount tickets. We are pass holders and got tickets that way. If you don't have passes, Chick Fil A had discount ticket coupons available at their restaurants and Pepsi was running promos where you could get discounts with their cans.
Here are some pictures of our time at Christmas Town so you can get a feel for what you might see if you decide to go. Oh, and one of my favorite things was to go through the section where they had real penguins you could see. Those little guys were so cute diving and posing for pictures.
Hope you enjoy my pictures from our fun outing. And I hope you are having a great day in your neck of the woods!
