Not sure if it’s due to the pandemic but this place was a joke in April 2021. There are hardly any food establishments open so definitely don’t buy the food package because you will be waiting in line for a min of 60-70 minutes just for food. I would eat before you go. The staff if you can find any are unhelpful and rude, like they don’t want to do their jobs. We saw sugar ray in the vip area and did the food festival. Sugar ray was fine but the food festival ran out of most food by 6:30-another 40$ wasted. The rides had over 2.5 hour waits. Just to enter the park even prepaid tickets took over an hour. Please don’t waste your time/money here with kids! They will not enjoy it, for a family of 6 it’s almost 1k to get in w a good package. It’s like this place is the dump version of Disney.

For as much money as BG Tampa brings in, I have to say my family was very disappointed. Many attractions and food snack kiosks were closed. No personnel to man them. My teens were able to ride 4 rides ALL DAY. Yep, you read that right. FOUR. We ate at the Pizza Oasis and stood in line over 1.5 hours. Then another 10 minutes once we had our food to get to the slow cashier. We complained to a manager who said they are understaffed. Ya don't say! $110 later for our family, we sat down to cold food. One other very disappointing event was trying to get on the train at Nairobi. We waited almost 2 hours before the announcer said the next train would not be running. When we inquired, a staff member said the park isn't busy and the staff members that "conduct" the train have to take a course that is 140 hours long and not just anyone can do that job. Well, if we ran our company like that, we would be out of business. Needless to say, the people behind us who would have to wait another 2 hours never knew the reason for the long wait. Mismanaged? Yes. Understaffed? Yes. Did the staff care? No. They were flippant and didn't give a rip. Too bad people do not pay 60% of the cost of the ticket since that is about what was open and available for families, if that. BG is known for great shows. Oh, they, too, are closed. I do not think we will be back anytime soon. A major disappointment! Be sure you wear a mask! Social distancing isn't enough. And be sure you don't pull it down beneath your nose to breathe for a few minutes, you might be asked to leave. Disappointing once again.

Half the restaurants are closed making for ridiculous lines. Employees are rude to you. Park is very old and run down. Animals look underfed and have small spaces to live in. The tiger was the saddest of all very little space, very under weight looking, and just pacing in a small area. Place needs to be shut down.
