History of Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens has a rich history dating back to 1959 when Anheuser-Busch, Inc. opened Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida.
The park was designed to resemble a European village, with a focus on African and European wildlife.
In 1975, Busch Gardens Williamsburg was opened in Williamsburg, Virginia, with a theme based on European culture.
The parks were acquired by Blackstone Group in 2009 and later by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment in 2013.

Expansion and Growth

Over the years, Busch Gardens has expanded to include thrill rides, live performances, and animal exhibits, while maintaining its focus on conservation and education. Today, Busch Gardens is a popular destination for families and thrill-seekers alike, with two locations in Tampa Bay and Williamsburg.

Do they still do beer tastings at Busch Gardens or did Blackstone Group stop that?
