Much as I would have preferred a National Park, Colonial Williamsburg, or the Jamestown settlement, I'm afraid that without a few roller coasters, it was not going to happen. This was my 10 year old Daughters birthday present, and she picked it out.All in all, amongst theme parks, Busch Gardens definitely is the best by my reckoning. I was just a tad disappointed when I heard what they called "Irish Music", but I'll get over it, and will likely be back again next year for the kids birthday again.
