Water Country USA is scheduled to reopen to the public May 22 with limited capacity and COVID-19 safety protocols, after the water park had closed last year due to the pandemic.
There will be increased cleaning, sanitation and temperature checks at the park, “in addition to the park’s already strict health and safety measures,” according to a Wednesday news release. Capacity will be “significantly limited” to allow physical distancing, the news release states.
Face coverings will be required for guests ages 2 and older in certain areas, including the park’s entrance and exit, the retail, food and beverage areas. Face coverings will not be required in the park’s water attractions.
“We’re so excited to be reopening Water Country USA this May,” Kevin Lembke, president of Busch Gardens and Water Country USA, stated in the news release. “We know our fans missed coming to the park last year. We can’t wait to welcome guests back for summertime fun.”
Water Country USA is located at 176 Water Country Parkway, and tickets start at $46.99. Visit buschgardens.com/williamsburg/water-country-usa/ for more information.
