It’s hard to find a better one-two punch of family-friendly fun than Busch Gardens Europe and Water Country USA. These two tempting theme parks provide a wide range of activities for all age ranges. What’s more, they’re both conveniently close to each other in Williamsburg, Virginia-and less than ten minutes from SpringHill Suites Williamsburg.

Busch Gardens Europe. This eclectic theme park has just about everything-and then some. Griffon, a wild ride set in a French village, takes you up 205 feet, then hurtles you straight down at 70 mph. Escape From Pompeii starts out as a quiet boat ride through the ancient ruins of Pompeii but ends up being something entirely different-and a tad explosive. For those seeking less adventurous activities, you can always take a leisurely stroll through medieval Europe or spend some quality time visiting the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales.
