TAMPA, Fla. and WILLIAMSBURG, Va., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- It's back! Free beer returns to Busch Gardens to celebrate summer and help guests cool down and refresh from the exhilarating new thrills, hot new shows and fan-favorite animal experiences happening in the parks this summer.
Guests looking to enjoy a cold one this summer can find it here:
- Busch Gardens Tampa: Located near Congo River Rapids, all guests can receive one free beer* per visit, and pass holders can receive two free beers per visit from 11:00 a.m. to park close, local time.
- Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Willkommenhaus will offer one free beer** per visit for members and annual pass holders and a $0.50 beer for all guests. Offer begins June 23.
"From an immersive new realm to a thrilling new ride, summer events packed with exciting entertainment, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg's 50th Anniversary celebrations, our parks are a great place to be this summer, and a free cold one – or two – is the perfect way to take some time to relax and refresh," said Marc Swanson, CEO of United Parks & Resorts.
Both Busch Gardens parks are igniting the spark for summertime family fun, including the return of Summer Nights at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Summer of Wonder at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, there's new summertime family fun to explore across all areas of the park from day to night. Within the all-new Wild Oasis, guests will embark on an incredible adventure. From encountering fascinating new animals to soaring down the all-new Tree Top Drop, families can explore interactive climbing structures, cool off at an immersive splash pad, and take on a thrilling self-guided scavenger hunt. Plus, guests can beat the heat while enjoying the all-new Moto-Motion indoor stunt show in the Stanleyville Theater that fuses high-flying BMX and motocross tricks with dynamic choreography. As night falls, the park's skyline transforms with the debut of Wild Skies, an awe-inspiring drone show that paints the night with vibrant lights, synchronized aerial movement and an immersive soundtrack culminating in a spectacular firework finale.
At Busch Gardens Williamsburg, the park has just unleashed its newest and most immersive family attraction – The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf's Revenge, North America's longest family inverted coaster. This is a highly immersive and thematic experience, where families are swept into a world of unparalleled excitement. Set in a bustling Bavarian village, the celebration quickly turns into chaos as glowing red eyes and bone-chilling howls signal the return of a terrifying creature. Riders dash through more than 2,500 feet of track at speeds up to 40 miles per hour. With its thrilling yet accessible design, this ride is perfect for kids, with a minimum height of 42 inches tall when accompanied by a supervising companion and 48 inches without, ensuring everyone can enjoy this coaster together.
