You can eat vegan at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, but it takes planning. Most menus are not labeled for vegan food. Busch Gardens itself says Marco Polo's Marketplace in Italy has the best vegetarian and vegan selection, so build your day around it.

For anything else, ask a supervisor what can be made vegan that day.
Menus change. Everything here was checked in November 2026. Confirm in the Busch Gardens app and with the supervisor in front of you.
Start at Marco Polo's Marketplace. The park names it as its best spot for vegetarian and vegan food.
Ask for a supervisor. At other counters, go straight to the cashier and ask for a supervisor. Tell them you are vegan and choose a meal together.
Ask what can be adapted. Pasta, salads and sides can often be made without cheese, butter or meat.
Vegan for an allergy? Treat it as an allergy. Explain how severe it is and ask about cross-contact. Busch Gardens says not all kitchens are free of cross-contact.
Get approval to bring your own food. Small single-serve snacks are allowed. For more, request approval by email before your trip or ask a team member on arrival. Coolers are not allowed.
Words that trip people up
- "Vegetarian" is not vegan. It can include cheese, butter, eggs or honey.
- Plant-based burgers often come with regular cheese and mayo. Ask for no cheese and no mayo, and ask about the bun.
- Pasta and vegetables can be finished with butter. Ask.
