Christmas Town at Busch Gardens is a spectacular holiday extravaganza featuring dazzling shows, delectable food and beautiful sights, sounds and shows that create the perfect holiday atmosphere.

With the purchase of Christmas Town tickets, guests can stroll through festive European town squares that feature carolers, holiday lights, and classic Christmas decorations.  

Christmas Town Shows include O Tannenbaum, Deck The Halls, Gloria, Miracles and A Sesame Street Christmas.  O Tannenbaum is one of the most popular shows as it shines with a spectacular light show featuring a 45-foot, light animated Christmas tree that is set to a holiday music score.

Attractions at Christmas Town are a highlight as well, with exploring the Ice Palace: A Penguin Paradise attraction on the top of many guests lists.  The Ice Palace features dazzling lights, snow and an up-close encounter with live penguins.  Other attractions include the Highland Stables, Mistletoe Marketplace, Santa’s Fireside Feast, Santa’s Workshop and Polar Pathway.    Guests will want to make time to shop for stocking stuffers and one-of-a-kind gifts at Mistletoe Marketplace, reminiscent of a traditional German Christmas Market, as well as Santa’s Workshop, where you can meet St. Nick and have a memorable photo captured of their visit.  The Polar Pathway is a unique experience too, with Italy coming to life in a waterfall of light.
