TAMPA, Fla. and WILLIAMSBURG, Va., June 5, 2025 — Busch Gardens is bringing back a fan-favorite summer tradition with the return of complimentary beer offerings, coinciding with a slate of new attractions and seasonal events designed to enhance the guest experience.
Guests aged 21 and over can enjoy a free 7 oz. cold brew during their visit as part of the park’s summer promotions. At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, located near the Congo River Rapids attraction, all adult visitors are eligible for one complimentary beer per day, while pass holders may claim two beers daily, available from 11:00 a.m. until park closing.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg will launch its own version of the offer starting June 23. Annual Pass Members and Members aged 21 and up will receive one free 7 oz. beer per visit, while all other adult guests may purchase up to two beers at just 50 cents each.
The initiative coincides with a range of summer-themed experiences rolling out at both locations.

A self-guided scavenger hunt adds an adventurous element for younger visitors. Indoors, the Moto-Motion stunt show at the Stanleyville Theater debuts with high-energy BMX and motocross performances choreographed to music.
