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.

My family and I recently visited the IRB and Tampa area. While the girls took a day to shop and shell hunt on the beach my son, who is nine, and I went to Busch Gardens. We had a blast! My son and I both were super excited about the roller coasters and our expectations were exceeded! Great line up and variety of coasters but the king was Iron Gwazi! A true crowning achievement it’s with smoothness, pacing, and thrills! Aside from the outstanding line up of rides the theming and landscaping of the park is beautiful. Busch Gardens is truly set apart as a beautiful park to just walk around and take in. The animal exhibits were great and plentiful throughout the park. What stood out for me above all else was the customer service and friendliness of the staff. While other central Florida themes parks continue to have a decline in customer service and overall kindness of the staff Busch Garden’s staff put it over the top! The entire staff from the ride operators, animal keepers, shop attendants, and custodial staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. This put our experience over the top!

The place needs attention obviously nobody’s put any money into it because everything is overgrown all the signs are so bleached by the sun you can’t read them so many of the kiosks were not open they were just boarded up are you still love seeing all the horticulture that is gone the animals are very few and farBetween. Whatever you do don’t get on the train that used to be so much fun well you have to listen to a 20 minute dissertation advertisement about upcoming dates and attractions in the future I’m a patient person but at every stop we were held hostage and had to listen to this lecture for at least 20 minutes I could not wait to get off of the train

We certainly regret to read you did find value in this visit and the contents of our train ride. Our park beautification is one of our number one priorities and we regret to read this standard was not met on the day of your visit. We have forwarded your comments on to our leadership teams for their further internal review and improvement. Thank you for taking the time to reach out with this feedback. -CL
