What To Expect

Busch Gardens

One of the top zoos in North America, Busch Gardens brings you face-to-face with more exotic and endangered animals than any destination outside of Africa. Prepare yourself for heart-pounding excitement with SheiKra - America's first dive coaster. Discover a colorful village nestled among towering trees, explore a 3-story play land of climbing nets and exploration tunnels, soar above the treetops on a zip line adventure or launch into the sky from inside a 35-foot (10 meter) waterfall. 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. For additional fun, choose from combo ticket options with SeaWorld Orlando, Adventure island Tampa and Aquatica Orlando! All-day parking and unlimited parking packages are also available.

We all agree that Bush Gardens is overpriced. Too make things even worse, the discount programs have all small letterings and are not always honored. One example: when you buy an annual GOLD pass it clearly stipulates that you get 30% discount on the quick-queue addition. Well, that is only valid on the DAILY quick-queue pass and not on the very expensive UNLIMITED one. Nowhere is that mentioned. Misleading advertising as with many other items. Buyer be aware,

Thank you for reaching out about your disappointment with our Annual Pass discounts. Feedback from our Pass Members are essential for us to create an enjoyable experience that entertains and enriches all our guests. At this time- we do not offer Annual Pass discounts for our annual Quick Queue. We apologize for any frustration this may have caused. We have forwarded your feedback to the appropriate leadership team for further review.-MK

What a massive disappointment. Travelled from Orlando to get here to find the following rides either down or closed. Cheetah hunt, sky ride, cobras curse, Sheikra, falcons fury and the biggest disappointment Iron Gwazi. The one coaster we was so looking forward to ride! We are from the UK so it’s not like we can just ‘pop’ back anytime. The park was quiet but as so many rides were down the ones that were open had very long waits. The park looks tired. Hardly and food or drink kiosks open either. All in all unless this park is improved we won’t be returning. It’s an absolute shambles! No updates on their website to say these rides were closed. Busch Gardens sort it out!!!

We certainly regret to read about your most recent visit to our park. We have forwarded your comments to our park leadership for their further review and improvement. Please be advised, we do post on our website when our major attractions will be down for annual maintenance or extended closures as well as outside our turnstiles, ticket windows, and guest relations. We regret to see that you were unable to view these attraction closures before your visit. Thank you for providing this feedback. - MM

We were very disappointed that many rides (3 roller coasters) & food service places being closed on our trip Monday, Halloween day. 🎃 We traveled from Northern Georgia & were so excited to finally come here...Unfortunately we bought the CityPass specifically for this attraction. The only cool thing was the all the animal sections, but we had just visited the Tampa Zoo the day before and were Really looking forward to Rides here! 🎢 We're just glad the other things we got through CityPass made it up. I doubt we'll ever return here again.

Thank you for reaching out about your recent expiernece to Busch Gardens Tampa. We regret to read about your recent trip to Busch Gardens. Unfortunately, despite annual maintenance and daily operating inspections, our rides can experience technical difficulties, just as any other mechanical device. We employ our own onsite maintenance team, and in most cases are able to open the attraction again quickly. We recommend reaching out to our Guest Correspondence team for further assistance at [email protected]. -MK
