I was looking to buy 2 day tickets for busch gardens williamsburg and the waterpark, planning to do one on each day. In another post someone said something about doing half a day at the one then switching to the other, but never replied back when I asked where they saw that was an option, because I didn't see any mention of being able to 'park swap' in one day on the website. Is this a thing, or was that person just talking nonsense?

Here's the ticket page - https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/tickets/theme-park-tickets/

I'm planning a trip to williamsburg for early June, but having a hard time finding info on what crowds are like and how much pre-planning I need to put into a trip to busch gardens. Hoping for some real people insight, or where to find that info (was looking on youtube before coming here.)

My last big trip was Disney world 2019, which you legit need to plan 6+ months in advance from where to eat, which rides to hit first in each park, which park to go to each day based on the crowds, etc. etc. (I poured over youtube videos for months to be able to get the most out of our trip) I went to Hershey park after Disney and found it unfortunately was similar in that if you didn't pre-plan your day, you couldn't get on any rides, and we ended up leaving about two hours after arriving, finding even the toddler rides had nearly an hour wait. We went last minute thinking it would be like amusement parks when we were kids where you just show up and get on rides as you feel like it, but amusement parks nowadays seem to require planning if you want to actually have a good time, I just don't know how much is involved for BG as I haven't been there since I was a kid.

idk maybe somebody else has had to deal with this.

I am thinking about getting me and my girlfriend an annual pass to Busch Gardens in Virginia and I was wondering, if I got one Premier Package and one Ultimate, could we both get the premier discounts on food and all, off of the premier package? I heard that the basic package has restrictions on what days to go which is why I'd get the second package as the ultimate. Is that true or could my second pass just be Basic?

I received a gift voucher for a silver pass from Busch gardens that was purchased through Sam’s club. I have a printout that says “this is your ticket” and includes a note that I must scan the voucher at self-service ticketing to redeem the silver pass. I would like to use the free parking and the free guest ticket benefit the day I redeem the voucher. Has anybody had experience with this and know how to do that? Will they accept the voucher at the parking booth prior to redeeming the pass? And once I get the silver pass at self service ticketing, how do I get the guest pass?

I purchased discount tickets through my employer, so they’re printed out and not available to view online. I used a couple of them on a recent trip but don’t know which ones were scanned and which ones weren’t. Is there somewhere online I can check them or do I need to call?

I got a platinum membership for williamsburg while i was there because i knew i was going to go to tampa and sea world this weekend but it's not giving any discount options... is the quick queue discount ONLY for the park i bought the platinum pass for?

Update: It's the people that bought VIP parking that get to use the employee entrance. https://buschgardens.com/williamsburg/upgrades/more-addons/

I can't get through to any of their customer support lines to fix the name, do I need to be worried?

I'm visiting BGW from out of town and there's a sign in the park indicating that Fiesta Italia is closed this weekend. Is this something normal that the park does? Closing Pantheon for a whole weekend is 😐

I was wondering how BG Tampa was with lose articles, and specifically if they have any zipper pouches on any of the coasters like some RMC and Premier Rides coasters do.

Do you need to put things in lockers on any of the rides? Like X2 might say you need to, but you absolutely don't and everyone just leaves things by the lockers. Can you walk across the platform to put things in cubbies or on the ground? Are things in cargo zipper pockets fine? Any ride metal detectors like on Steel Vengeance? Do they allow glasses with retainer bands on all the rides?

And for the pouches, I've 3D printed some brackets to hold my phone at the correct angle inside the pouch so I can record myself on rides, but if there's no pouches I won't bring them along.

Thanks for any insights!

Does anyone know how much a reusable cup and refills are in Virginia? Also the average priced meals would be. I'm going on a trip with a group and I'm trying to plan out prices and I'm struggling to find accurate pricing for Virginia 😭.

Asking for next year. Is there trick or treating on Halloween at Busch Gardens for kids?

I have the basic membership. When I want to go to BGW on a non-blockout day, do I just walk up to the front of the park and scan the bar code that's in the app? Do I need to "reserve" a spot for the day or anything?

We’re traveling to Williamsburg next summer with my daughter and her friend. The girls will be 15 and 16. In order to give them more freedom, we were thinking of buying them passes to Busch Gardens (and Water Country) and dropping them off so they can have a bit more independence. I’ve been looking all over and am finding conflicting information about whether teenagers are allowed to enter the park without an adult? And after that, would they be safe? We haven’t been there since my daughter was a toddler, it was safe then but I know things change. Thanks!

Hello, the website says we're allowed to bring 1 reusable water bottle per person. It doesn't say what size or type. I have a 40 oz reusable water bottle and a 20 oz. Both have fully sealed lids (not like a Stanley). Can I bring my 40 oz.? I'd hate to get there and not be able to use my water bottle. I drink a lot of water so it's important for me to have one! Thanks!

So I’m planning on going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg this weekend for the Halloween event and we might go when they open. Do I have to purchase a single or all day ticket? Will they kick us out when the event starts or not. All day tickets are cheaper right now too, but don’t give you an option to pick a day. So I’m not sure which to pick.
