Growing up one of my favorite parts about Christmas was actually the day after.

Every year my cousin Katie and I would go to Busch Gardens as our Christmas present. It was one of my favorite traditions because we got to spend all day jus the two of us roaming around the park until it closed.

We rode every ride, multiple times, and even stayed out late for when nightfall came, and the Christmas lights were on. Riding the rollercoasters at night is by far the best. It’s a whole new experience.  

If you are looking for a fun day trip or day activity during the holidays I can’t recommend Busch Garden’s enough. They are currently running a Holiday sale through 12/26 where you can save up to 40% of tickets.

Busch Garden’s Christmas Town also runs through January 2nd. With Christmas Town you can enjoy millions of holiday lights and décor, holiday shows, visits with Santa and Rudolph and much much more. There is something there for the whole family. The park is also open late, 10:00pm most nights so you get plenty of time to ride nighttime rollercoasters and see lights from the ground and from the sky.

I can’t recommend Busch Gardens enough during the holiday season!
