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.

Went to Bush gardens with friends while in tampa on vacation. We had a great time. It's very large park so be ready to walk a lot. Admission was not too bad, a lot less than some other theme type parks.

Disappointing, many attractions closed such as Congo River rapids, log flume, sky ride, and all but one train station. I understand need for maintenance, but to have this many attractions closed was not acceptable.

Went on a Thursday - First time attending and I wasn't impressed. The park seemed understaffed and many rides were offline. The rollercoasters are very fun, but the wait times are long and they're really the only rides there. If you're looking for a park with rides and rollercoasters aren't your cup of tea, I would skip this park. The other half of the park is a functioning zoo - which - was fine? Food was expensive and not great. The pizza was "school quality" (according to my kids). Very long lines for food as well. I'm not sure if the food pass would be worth it. The Sesame Street area looked like it might be fun for little kids, but I'm not sure it's $100+ "fun". Key takeaways: - Long lines (30 minutes) on a Thursday (wait times aren't accurate) - At least 3 / 10 rollercoasters weren't running - Food isn't great - Only attend this park if you're into rollercoasters or really need to go to a zoo without going to a zoo.
