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.

At the advice of a previous reviewer, we arrived about 45 minutes before the park opened. We also paid the $15 extra for the preferred parking. This made it pretty easy to go out to our car to eat the lunch we'd packed and cool off in our air conditioned car for a bit. In the morning, the lines were amazingly short! We got on three of the big coasters in just a few minutes each, and so we chose to ride some of them repeatedly back to back. The water raft ride had a really short line too, and cooled us off nicely. After lunch, however, the lines were much longer: 55 minutes or more for some coasters. So, here's what made this a more enjoyable experience than it would have been otherwise: 1. We arrived and entered the park early. 2. We got the preferred parking. This made it easy to eat the lunch we'd packed, and we didn't need to wait around for the shuttle/tram to take us to our car. It also saved us the money and time of waiting in line to buy a lunch inside the park. 3. We came on a noncrowded day, although unknowingly. (At the park, a season pass holder was telling us Thursdays tend to be less crowded.) Bottom line, temper your expectations. This is a bit more like Six Flags than Disney when it comes to cleanliness and employees being super friendly. You can definitely make a fun day out of it for the family. Our kids did really enjoy all of the coasters.

Great coasters, when they work!! We joined the line for Cheetah hunt twice, and it broke down TWICE while we were waiting. The week before they closed Iron Gwazi for a technical fault. Some of the youths manning the food and drink kiosks have no idea about customer service, and on our second visit (in the evening to watch the fireworks) there was no ice for the drinks machines ANYWHERE in the park. So, although the coasters were good, the service aspects were poor.

Thank you for reaching out about this experience! We are happy to read you enjoyed our attractions and thrills! We certainly regret to read about the impact these temporary closures had on your visit; unfortunately, despite annual maintenance and daily operating inspections, our rides can experience technical difficulties, just as any other mechanical device. We would like to assure you, the hospitality that we show our guests has always been the hallmark of our park and we sincerely apologize this standard was not met on the date of your visit. -CL
