Celebrate Christmas Town at Busch Gardens!


Christmas Town opens the day after Thanksgiving! Look below for discount ticket info!

Snow, Santa, shows...and roller coasters? Sounds like just what the holidays ordered, and that's what you get at Busch Gardens Williamsburg's Christmas Town, a winter wonderland of excitement for the whole family.

The snow may be fake (or not), but the fun is real at this holiday attraction.

Starting the day after Thanksgiving, the park is open Fridays through Sundays (Nov 25-27, Dec 2-4 & 9-11), and then daily, December 16-31 (with the exception of Christmas Day). Park hours are 3 pm-10 pm.

Look below for ticket prices, places to get discount tickets, how to dine with Santa, and how to hop to the front of the line!




Admission & Discounts


Here's what Christmas Town will cost you...

Single Day Admission Ticket (ages 3 & up) - $24.99

Want to stay longer? You have two options:

Discovery Ticket (ages 3 & up) - $32.99
This ticket provides admission for three consecutive days, but does NOT include parking.

Williamsburg Christmas Bounce Ticket - Adults - $48; Kids ages 6-17 - $36; Kids under 3 are free!
This ticket provides admission for three consecutive days to Christmas Town, as well as to Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area. It also includes parking each day.

Christmas Town discount ticket info!

Here are three places so far for Christmas Town discount tickets:

  • Chick-fil-A - Last year participating locations offered coupons good for $5 off a single day ticket - I haven't seen them yet this year, but I expect they'll have them again.

  • Prince George Parks and Recreation - They have tickets that save you $3 per ticket. For more information, call Prince George Parks and Recreation at 733-2646...or, try your local parks & rec center.

  • The NMCP office at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth - It's only for military members and their families, and I don't know how much the discount is for, but it may be worth checking out!

I'm scouring the net daily, so keep checking back for updates!

As for military discounts, here's the bummer: the "Here's to the Heroes" program which provides free admission to active military and their families during the regular season is not valid during Christmas Town. (Although you can still benefit from Best Western Government & Military Discounts nearby.)

What about parking?

Note that neither the Single Day Admission Ticket nor the Discovery Ticket include parking-- that's extra, and it'll cost you $12 per car per day.




Quick Queue & How to Dine with Santa...

Quick Queue Passes

Busch Gardens Williamsburg also offers a Christmas Town Quick Queue Pass (or actually, three different passes-- more on that later) which gives you priority seating shows and lets you hop to the front of the line on select rides.

A Quick Queue Pass is certainly not for everybody since it costs $19.95-$21.95 per person in addition to the regular admission fee. (Ouch!) so it's really best for hard-core amusement park afficionados, or those who've really want to maximize their time.

All three passes provide the following: selected seating for the "Deck the Halls," "Italy Christmas," and "Rejoice" shows; front of the line access to Santa; and and unlimited priority boarding to Curse of DarKastle, Europe in the Air, the sky ride, and Griffin.

So what's the difference? The only difference is in the hours the passes are good for:

Quick Queue Pass #1- Good for shows 4 pm to 8 pm
Quick Queue Pass #2- Good for shows 5 pm to 9 pm
Quick Queue Pass #1- Good for shows 5 pm to 10 pm

Like the concept but wrong season? For details on Quick Queue Passes during Howl-O-Scream, click here.

Want to dine with Santa?

For an extra fee of $25 for adults, and $17 for kids ages 3-9, you can sign up to have dinner with Santa at Castle O’Sullivan in the Ireland section of the park. Reservations are required. To make dine with Santa reservations, click here.
