Busch Gardens Williamsburg to open for 2009 Christmas Season

 

busch gardens williamsburg va Santa Claus and his elf entourage toured the European-themed park Monday morning, gathering ideas and finalizing plans for Christmas Town: A Busch Gardens Celebration debuting November 2009. Santa and his elves concluded their tour by highlighting details of the holiday event for hundreds of park guests at a special presentation in the theme park’s German village.
For the first time in the park’s 34-year history, visitors will experience all-new attractions, shows and shopping that will fill them with the holiday spirit. From more than a million twinkling lights, the smell of fresh baked Christmas cookies and one-of-a-kind gift ideas to a spectacular 45-foot, light-animated Christmas tree.
“The ‘World’s Most Beautiful Theme Park’ will transform into a Christmas wonderland this November,” said John Reilly, executive vice president and general manager for Busch Gardens. “We’re hoping to create a holiday tradition for families to enjoy in a spectacular setting.”
Event details are available on the new Christmas Town Web site at www.christmastown.com .
A limited number of $5 tickets are available only online for active pass members valid for opening day, Nov. 27. This special ticket price is available on a first come, first served basis. Visit www.bgwpass.com  for complete details on this special offer.

Christmas Town opens at Busch Gardens on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 3 – 10 p.m. beginning Nov. 27. The park will open each evening Dec. 18 – 27, excluding Christmas Day. Some sections of the park will remain closed for the season, and some rides and attractions are weather dependent.
