I love BG in Williamsburg. I have only been to the Tampa location once. I wish the VA location would do a F & W festival.

I think Williamsburg is doing one in May & June. It seems that they are experimenting with more special events than in the past and the prices seem to be quite reasonable when compared to events at other parks.
