Then, come face-to-face with orangutans and test your strength in a tug of war with a Bengal tiger, all in Jungala - the only jungle in the world that plays with you.

We have 4 boys (13/11/8/5) Best parts - animals - Sesame play area for the 5 year old 50%+ rides not working: - 1/4 of the major rides are out of service - 1/4 went out of service while waiting or after arriving at the park. Wait Times Really long. Food $$: Bought the All Day Dining. Prices for a pizza are $15 and burger $16-18. So financially worth it. Had to eat every 2 hours to really make it worth it. Quality: like a school kitchen Christmas Town and Lights Kind of a joke and after thought. The Christmas Sampler was $40 and a waste of money: 1 adult beverage equivalent to a shot glass sized drink. Overall: would not recommend Busch Gardens given it’s literally only 30-40PPX less than Disney.

I live in Maryland, close to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. I would describe that one, as excellent. We visit often. As much as we love BG Williamsburg, we were excited to visit the Tampa location. We were severely disappointed. Many many rides and experiences were closed, others had 1-2 cars/ carts operating!?... Because of this, lines to do even mediocre things, were crazy. It’s also weird how the location has mostly coasters, as opposed to the variety in Williamsburg. It was very disappointing for my family and I, who had grown to love the brand. We purchased the fun pass and still don’t know if we would come back. We won’t be playing to visit any other Busch Garden/ Seaworld, affiliated parks in FL. I plan to post of my displeasure on my YouTube channel, which is marketed to families with young kids.

We flew down here for a quick 4 day trip from VA. We dedicated one entire day for BG. What a disappointment. Wish we had done something else. Half the rollercoasters were shut down and the monorail too. There were a few positives….we waited 1.5 hours to ride the cheetah at the end of the night. We got in-line at 6:30. It took forever. The quick queue even had a long line. GREAT ROLLERCOASTER! The wait was long but it was totally worth it. The other positive was the customer service worker at the funnel cake place. She was great! A guy checking harnesses on the Cheetah was very professional and helped my husband lock in his harness strap. BG Tampa sucks compared to BG Williamsburg. That is our favorite park. In years past we’ve had annual passes and fun cards other years. We love BG Williamsburg. Everything about it is better! Our family does NOT recommend BG Tampa.
