At some point you may need a break from early American history, especially if you have kids in tow, so head over to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, a 360-acre family entertainment park. Little mental effort is required to enjoy shows, festivities, and more than 50 rides, including the world-class roller coasters Apollo's Chariot and Alpengeist. Young children will especially enjoy the Sesame Street Forest of Fun, which has rides their own size.
Arrive early -- but try not to come when it's raining, as some rides may not operate. Bring comfortable shoes; and, remember, you will get wet on some of the rides, so wear appropriate clothing. As soon as you're through the turnstiles, pick up a copy of a park map and the day's activity schedule, which tells what's showing and when at the entertainment venues. Then take a few minutes to carefully plan your time -- it's a big park with lots to see and do. Busch Gardens changes every year, so be on the lookout for new attractions.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
