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.

Long lines. Been at the park from 10 to 6 and have been on 4 rides, plus one food line. The line for Chick-fil-A took 90 minutes! Not happy spending $500 for a family of 3 to go on 4 rides and a lunch. So disappointed and we won't be back. There's better ways to spend that much money.

Busch Gardens is great……. If you know when to go. If you’re a local and can go in the fall and winter when kids aren’t on vacation, it’s a great deal. Buy one Bronze Pass for $153 for one adult. This will save you the $30 parking fee. Buy Fun Passes for everyone else as you only need one person with the Bronze Pass for free parking. And you can go every day of the year if you want to. Avoid holidays and summers! The place is packed and you may spend all day dying in the heat and not riding due to crowds and lightning delays. We are here today 12/27 and the place is a madhouse. 2 hour waits for all rides, hour long waits for food. Annoying people everywhere. But since we live 45 mins away, it’s not a big deal. Plenty of animals and what not. I need the exercise anyway. Always advise buying the refillable soda as refills are free day of purchase and 99cents for future refills when you come back. This can save you a lot of money. The coasters are truly top notch. Can’t complain there. Just be careful as they do close them repairs and maintenance and until recently, much has been a shut down. The food, well, it’s overpriced garbage, but that’s normal for theme parks. We usually eat breakfast before we go and then go out for dinner after. I’m reading a lot of negative reviews here lately. Bottom line. If you’re a local and know the in’s and out’s, you’ll love it here. If you’re a tourist and you come during holidays or the summer, you’re prob going to be super pissed off with what you get vs what you pay for.

Absolutely duped and robbed by these scammers!!! Bought tickets online to save time and money. Was offered the quick que for a little extra money. Decided to splurge a little for Christmas. $129.00 a ticket for a total of $728.70. When we got to the gate we were told it did not include admission fee!!! Wanted to charge us $600.00 more !!! I was furious! Went back to the ticket counter and was full of expletives. The attendant agreed the website was deceptive. Offered to take 50% off but it leads me to believe they know it’s deceptive and proceed with this practice anyway. Also if a ticket attendant can offer 50% off this must be a frequent occurrence. On another note..food options are few and long lines for food. Fifteen dollars for a dry piece of cardboard hamburger. Waited an hour in line for food. The whole day cost over $1000.00 for 4 adults and a 6 year old. Also half of the quick que rides were not open and had 2 hour waits for quick que!,,
