Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

A really nice park to visit for a day. Some of the rides are a little rough, but all in all a lot of fun. The Sesame Street kids area was wonderfully themed and had some great things for my son to do. Security took a little while to get through but I think that is my biggest complaint. The food and beverages around the park were delicious.

I recently visited Busch Gardens in Tampa, and it was an incredible experience! The park is a perfect blend of thrilling rides and amazing animal encounters. The roller coasters like SheiKra and Cheetah Hunt were a blast, and the animal exhibits were both educational and entertaining. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well-maintained. The food options were diverse, and I particularly enjoyed the dining experience at Serengeti Overlook Restaurant. The landscaping and scenery throughout the park are stunning, making it a great place to enjoy a day outdoors. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or looking for a fun family day out, Busch Gardens has something for everyone. I can't wait to return for more adventures and excitement. Highly recommended!

Went in mid-December. Perfect time to go. It was slow enough that we only waited 40 minutes for 2 rides. Best roller coasters!!!! Most refreshment stands were closed, exhibits were closed, and it just seemed dated. This is the reason for the 4-star. Worth the price for a black Friday deal.

It's fun for the whole family and you can and should spend the whole day there to also the night lights. We were able to catch 2 shows: the ice skating and the magic one. There are several showtimes, but you should still check the schedules and arrive a little early to make sure you get places. We enjoyed seeing the animals. It's best to come early to be able to see them all during the daytime. I recommend bringing an empty water bottle so that you can fill it in the few available water fountains. They are now going cashless. Parking isn't free, unfortunately (about 35$). Some might find the whole experience expensive for what it is, so best to get tickets when they have discounts.

We had a lot of fun here. I grew up going to Six Flags in Georgia and the rides and everything here were so much better. My favorite was the cheetah coaster. I love how everything in the park is themed and decorated and all the foliage everywhere helped keep it cooler along with all the fans. They had some Halloween decorations up as well, that was cool to see. We already want to come back again.
