We live in NJ , so we decided a car ride won't be bad for a mini-vaction. 1 day we plan on going to Virginia another day we want to go to Busch gardens. [April 9th-April 11th] QUESTION IS :: Should we stay in a hotel near Virginia Beach or Busch Gardens? I heard they are 50 miles apart and we don't know which place to stay at. What would be more logical? Thanks.
I am from williamsburg VA. I love VA Beach but it is so diff from what I remember! The water is dirty and nasty and so is the beach. I would suggest staying near Busch for the simple fact that there is so much more around that area where you can visit. VA Beach is more of a hang out clubby spot. The drive diff b/c Busch and VA Beach is more than 1 hour long and you have to drive through the Hampton Tunnel which is almost always backed up! I would definately stay near Busch Gardens!
I would say stay on the beach! I went to virginia beach this past summer and it is AMAZING! :]
Busch gardens is also really cool and fun.
(p.s wake up at sunrise so you can see the dolphins if you stay in virginia beach. we had a view of the ocean it is reallllly cool.) :]
hope you have a great time! (:
