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.

Been several times over the years. Today I’m lost for words. It’s tired and 30-40% is closed - the animal enclosures are run down and in need of a cash injection. Be prepared to wait 30-40 min to get lunch as there is very little open. I can see it closing… 30 dollars to park at a park that’s failing to uphold its bargain to entertain. I wouldn’t ride the coasters as they look so tired and poorly maintained. As for the skyline - wow good luck on that one. Busch need to decide what it want to be as it has no real identity. Got here at 11am - now leaving at 1.30pm what a waste of money and a day

visited on weekday (tuesday). such disappointment. 1/2 the coasters out of service. more than 1/2 food and beverage venues closed. slim crowd. scarcity of employees. no entertainment other than animal interactions. signage and directions are terrible. wait time to get thru ticketing (for platinum member) is no benefit at all. beer is $12+ when you can find it. best experience was ride wait times - 10-30 minutes. think sea world is better for platinum guest.

Visited here after many years. We got a ride access pass and one of our party is a wheelchair user. We got a return for the iron wooden coaster. And set off around the park. We did most of the attractions and came back to the iron coaster it did not disappoint we enjoyed it. The park was reasonably easy to navigate and the rides were long which is good after a que. One thing that let it down was the food service. One party member went to the zangora cafe and market near the start which serves 5/6 options (burger, chicken tenders, salad with chicken tenders and kids food). The order took well over 40 mins to get from ordering. We also had someone go in search of ice cream for dessert. Went to the store named sultan sweets which advertise ice cream. The ice cream counter was shut. When asked other staff at the coffee counter they didn't know where to find any other ice cream. The day was good overall all and I would recommend anyone to go try it out. But just be prepared for long waits at feeding time.
