We were so excited when we received an invite to head over to Busch Gardens. Some of our best family memories from when the kids were small were made at Busch Gardens. We were so ready to head to the park to see some amazing animals, ride our favorite rides, and get into the holiday spirit. Here are some of the things you can expect from Busch Gardens Christmas Town.
