Christmas Town at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

Christmas Town transforms Busch Gardens Tampa Bay for the holidays on select dates, with lights across the whole park, festive entertainment, holiday shopping, seasonal flavors and Christmas traditions. It runs during regular park hours as part of a normal day, so the rides, animal habitats and the new Lion & Hyena Ridge are all open alongside it.

Our take: Arrive in the afternoon so you can ride by daylight and still catch the lights after dark before the park closes.
