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.

We had a nice time here the Wednesday of Easter week. This is a big holiday week for the Northeast so I was expecting big crowds (like are in Disney this week). Luckily we didn’t experience that at all. The wait times were minimal - around 20 minutes for each ride. The animal part of the park was wonderful too, we went to the alligator talk and it was fantastic. The animal habitats were pretty nice and I liked how they were spread throughout the park. Broke up the day. The negative is the number of rides and shows that were closed. They were a lot of the ‘midrange’ rides between the coasters and the little kid rides. These included the flume ride, water rapids ride, sky ride, wild surge, pirate ship and treetop playground. The treetop playground being closed is the most annoying thing as this requires very minimal staff to oversee, allows kids of all ages a chance to stretch their legs and provides a place for kids to socially distance while keeping them out of lines where they’re not socially distanced. (I know covid is waning down, especially in Florida but the sign by the treetop playground said it was closed as part of their ‘phased reopening’. There is no reason this shouldn’t have been one of the first things reopened if that is the case). I understand there are staffing issues everywhere and that is probably what Busch gardens will say in response to why some of their rides weren’t open….but they had no problem having the carnival rides open, or the photographers at the front of the park, or every souvenirs stand open….so they’re more concerned with having the things open that make them extra money….not the rides since you already paid the money to get in. Just reduce the admission price by the number of rides and shows (there were no shows when we went) that aren’t open- that would be fair. Also be warned the food prices in the park are the highest I’ve ever seen. I would recommend the food pass or sneaking some snacks in. The park souvenirs were reasonably priced. Overall we had a nice day but the rides closed was a major bummer for our family.

I grew up In Bradenton and we went here numerous times. It was a great time every time! The zoo part, the coasters, all of it. When I go to the Tampa area, I always take my kids here and it's always great! I wish prices were better but the experience is amazing.
