Things to Do in Williamsburg Beyond the Theme Parks

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is often called one of the most beautiful theme parks in the country, and it sits next to some of America’s oldest history. Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown make up the Historic Triangle, and the area is famous for its ghost tours.

Here’s what to do around Williamsburg between days at Busch Gardens and Water Country USA.
