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.

This is my favourite place i love it there wasn't too crowded recommend the all-day eat and drink wrist band around $35.00 eat and drink food every hour drinks all day well worth the money esp if you're going to be spending the whole day there food was lovely . Bush Gardens is beautiful had an amazing time there my first visit back in 15 years. It totally made my holiday

I loved our visit as the park was not all about the rides like most theme parks, and not all about the animals like zoos. It was a great combination of those. The roller coasters, or thrill rides if you will, were fun. The animals were interesting and varied (note for animal lovers like me... The enclosures are very nice, not too small and plain like you'll see at some zoos). We did visit on a Wednesday, which was nice as lines were relatively short, and there weren't many crowds anywhere. I'm sure weekends, especially closer to summer, are different. Overall Busch Gardens is an excellent alternative to more expensive parks like Universal Studios (we went there last year).

The good: The animal exhibits The bad: Just about everything else. Busch Gardens used to be a place for a great day with family, friendly staff, and beautiful park grounds. Wow has that changed! The Food and Wine festival was awful. Long lines, unfriendly staff, very small portions. Busch Gardens should be embarrassed by their concert venue. I've literally seen better venues at county fairs (Though the band Foreigner was good). Even with the VIP experience I had, it was still bad. Guests are put into the middle of a field with no shade in the hot sun. The food and beverage staff are rude and not staffed to meet the size of the crowds (Busch has been doing these concerts for a few times now you would think they would have figured it out). The VIP seating consists of aluminum cheap stadium benches on a dirt floor. I literally thought I was in a county fair and tractor pulls and best steer competitions were going to be the next event. This is an awful way to treat guests and ensures they will not return. The park is not up to the cleanliness and professional standards it used to be. Decaying sidewalks and buildings along with poorly motivated and often rude staff (e.g.: ride staff using their personal phones, poor customer service). The Trams from to and from the parking lots do not run a frequency to keep up with the crowds so expect to wait in long lines getting into and out of the park. I was really looking forward to this visit. I came back disappointed and will more that likely never return again. Busch Gardens should be embarrassed of how leadership has let the park falter so bad.
