One of the weekend’s highlights is a Member-exclusive town hall at Abbey Stone Theatre on November 7 at 2 p.m. Park President Kevin Lembke is scheduled to share a preview of what’s ahead in 2027. The presentation is open to guests with a valid Membership, with seating available on a first-come basis.

Earlier that day, Members can attend a Breakfast with an Animal Specialist at Das Festhaus beginning at 10:30 a.m. The $22.99-per-person breakfast includes an opportunity to see visiting animals from SeaWorld Orlando and Busch Gardens Williamsburg animal ambassadors while learning about animal care, rescue and conservation. Reservations are available through the Member portal.

The weekend also includes complimentary beer for eligible adult Members, a dessert offer, early access to Santa’s Workshop and a giveaway featuring remaining 50th anniversary merchandise.

Check Reward Details Before Visiting

Both Busch Gardens parks have rewards with limited redemption periods, and several offers require Members to obtain vouchers from self-service kiosks or make reservations in advance.

Tampa Bay Pass Members should pay particular attention to the November 6–8 Busch Bucks offer and the Christmas Town benefits beginning November 13. Williamsburg Members planning to attend Appreciation Weekend should review the event schedule and reserve the animal specialist breakfast if interested.
