My teens loved it. There are plenty of rollercoasters for those who love them.
We live in Florida, so we go to theme parks usually once a year. It’s July & school is out so expect crowds. Main complaint we had was the food. We expect high prices, but fries should be fresh and not stale for $15 for achicken tender platter. $5 for a small container of Pringles? That profit margin is ridiculous. It also was hard to find a place to sit after you it food. Staff is young ( seems mostly college age students) but helpful. We did not get quick queue passes and I’m glad because we didn’t need them . Iron Gwazi was only ride where wait was long (1 hour) , but that’s because it’s new and close to entrance. We got there at 12:30 pm and left at 7 pm, and we got to do most rides and see 2 shows.
After 5 pm, the park is noticeably less crowded as parents with toddlers leave. During the summer, park closes at 9 pm so coming late if you can means less time waiting for rides. Before 5pm was a 70 minute wait for Congo Rapids, but after 5 pm, it was 20 minutes. Also, the ice skating show and electric circus were about 30 minutes each and fantastic. Don’t miss them. There aren’t too many animals here which is different from years past. One gorilla, one tiger & 2 cheetahs - only multiples were alligators, birds , fish and flamingoes. It’s not a big thing unless a big part of your visit is seeing animals. Overall, this a great park which you can do in one day. Great value for the money.

We are thrilled to read you had a positive experience throughout your visit to Busch Gardens. We are pleased to see your family enjoyed our Turn It Up and Cirque Electric shows. Additionally, we regret to read that you weren’t able to view as many of our animals as you had hoped. Our animals are able to leave and re-enter their habitats freely to eat, drink, and sleep. We understand the love our guests have for our animals and appreciate the continued understanding that this type of freedom within their enclosures may lead to less time in view but greater comfort for our animals. Our guest's feedback is an incredibly valuable tool we do not take for granted and appreciate you taking your time to share your time at our park. -HA
