We visited with our family of 5 over the past weekend on 8/13/2022. It was amazing. We had a fantastic time and a huge shout-out to Jennifer at ticket windows who helped us with all of our difficult comments and concerns. We pre-purchased tickets online and were confused about how to use them. My husband is always on business so we figured we would take this time and visit Busch Gardens since neither one of us had been since we were kids. Jennifer was able to help us get our all-day dining worked out, also our safari wow what an experience yes it was on the pricey side but so worth the extra money. Thank you Busch gardens for giving us the chance to enjoy ourselves on a beautiful day.

The rides are fun but mainly catered to teens and adults. There aren’t many children rides. The restrooms were filthy throughout the park.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback from your visit. We are happy to offer rides for our younger guests in our Sesame Street Safari and Pantopia areas. We sincerely apologize our park cleanliness did not meet the expectations you have come to expect form our park during this visit. Our park beautification is a top priority and we regret to read this standard was not met. -CL

The rollercoasters are brilliant! And it’s nice to see all the animals as we walk around the park. The first time we visited on our holiday at the start of August the park was so busy, assuming this is because the Florida schools hadn’t gone back yet? We got to go on 5 rides in 8 hours!!! They sell so many fast track passes so that the regular line basically gets put on hold. The wait time stated outside the ride ends up being nearly double due to the amount of fast track guests they let through. There were ride closers throughout the day, not necessarily from the weather but from rides breaking. We queued for StanleyFalls Log Flume for just under 2 hours, we got right to the front of the queue for them to close the ride, not telling us what was going on or why? The locker expired after 2 hours, which ultimately made us leave the queue as we were worried about our belongings. However, the second day we returned, reluctantly after our first visit, the park was very quiet and we got on every single ride, much better. Only one lane/cart going on rides at a time, leading to again wait times out-waying the time stated outside the ride. Understaffed still from covid? They could do with some more refill machines around the park. The free coach that dropped off and picked from Icon Park Orlando was great, the driver was very friendly and informative. There was also free wifi throughout the park.

We regret to read about your disappointment about our ride queue lines and the extended wait for our Stanley Falls Flume. Unfortunately, our attractions may experience temporary delays, we certainly apologize for any impact this had on your visit. -MK
