Both Busch Gardens parks are igniting the spark for summertime family fun, including the return of Summer Nights at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and the debut of the all-new Summer of Wonder featuring art, music, culinary delights and world-class fun at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Plus, visitors at the Tampa park can beat the heat with the premier of the park's all-new ice show, Rhythm of Nature, in the Moroccan Palace Theater and celebrate the nostalgia of summer during the all-new Red, White & Brews event.

In addition to new events and entertainment throughout the parks, there are heart pounding new thrills.
