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.

5 stars for the park 2 stars for the food. Presidents’ Day was not crowded at all. Lots of animals to see and the viewing areas were unobstructed. We did not go on any of the rides as most of the rides are roller coasters so not going to do those. Download the Busch Gardens app before you go for wait times and to find out which coasters are closed. The food was the worst part of our experience. Careful here. Descriptions on their website are not accurate. The “Feast like Kings and Queens on classic hearty jambalaya” was not at all hearty. It was a snack if that and gone in 4 bites. We were turned off by the food prices but truth be told you would be better off purchasing the all day dining option ($44.99/adults and $22.99/child) especially if you plan on making a day of it. We would definitely go back again and add on some of the extra cost animal encounters.

We visited on presidents day 2022. It was very busy. As we entered the parking area, there was no staff to direct 5 lanes of entry traffic that bottle necked down to 2 lanes. Cars almost hit us trying to merge. Get to parking spot, 10 staff members hanging out and doing nothing. So, I'm instantly seeing how the rest of the day would go basically. And surprise, surprise, most ride waits were hours long. High prices on food and drink? Yep, 4.50 for a water, 5 bucks for a coke, and meals starting at $12 plus drink. The animal exhibits were ok, and to me the train ride thru the serengheti was the highlight of the whole thing. We came from a long way to vacation. Our time in Florida is limited. I'm sorry we went to this park. A free local park would have been just as satisfying to me. Pros: animals, train ride. Cons: parking ran by clowns, rape you prices on food and drink, long lines, long ways from Orlando , and many rides closed, with too long to wait for others.

Family of 4, spent over $400 on tickets. Busch Gardens has 9 roller coasters (I believe). Three were closed from the get go, two open were too big for my kids (they aren't tall enough) the one they could ride they stood in line for 1 hour and it closed just as they got to the front of the line. Barely any shows going on. Rude staff - except for the tram guys in the morning. The food portions for the ridiculous amount of money you spend wouldn't fill my 6 year old son. Our only saving grace for this disaster of a park was the company we held (my daughter and her family). DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
