I've been going to Busch Gardens for 30+ years & every year it gets better. My husband never rides roller coasters & last year, for the first time since he was a teenager, he rode all of your roller coasters. We had so much fun! We rode them over & over until it was dark, we had a great time! This is a great park for kids, teens & adults. It's always clean & has free beer!

I'm sure everyone will admit that Busch Gardens is more for older kids than Disney, but did you know it's for real old kids (aka adults) too? The last time we went to Busch Gardens my fiance and I graduated the Budweiser Beer School -- we're "Master Brewers." It's official. I have a certificate. LOL Seriously though, it's a cool program. You learn about what goes into the beer, what gives it its aroma, colour, etc. and even have some tastes along the way so you can taste the difference the guide is describing. Obviously you have to be at least 21 and they limit the class size, so make reservations. If you really like beer, you can sample some beers on tap -- I don't know what the limit is on how many sample you can get, but they're decent sized samples. Outside the classroom and sampling building you can see a couple of the Bud horses (I know they're not called horses, but it's late and I can't think of the right word) -- it's not a petting zoo; you're not supposed to pet them, but they're nice to look at.

This place has the best one of a kind rollar coasters. Plus some of the best African animals. I love this place, the only downside is there's not much shade and it's a little hard to find food, at least what I eat. But other than that you'll have a blast with those rollar coasters and watching the animals that you won't want to leave.

Since I was little Busch Gardens has always been one of my favorite places. The nice thing is that they have a variety of attractions for basically every age. I know the adults never have a hard time finding sometimg to do even if they dont like rides. Even though the price is kinda steep the good news is that they typically offer some kinda pass for Florida residents which ends up being a steal. All in all I think Busch Gardens is a nice asset to the Tampa Bay Area.

I love to take the kids here to hang out. My kids favorite area is in the back of the park it is called " Splash Attack". I usually get some lounge chairs here to put my stuff and go play with the kids. They have 4 kid friendly slides in this area. And a huge bucket that dumps gallons of water down about every 7 minutes. we love to hit the rambling river, wave pool and head over to the water flumes. They have a bunch of stuff to do here for kids of all ages, even us big kids.

There is so much to see and do here. I recommend that you purchase season passes to include seaworld and adventure island. with the "passport" passes the parking is included and you get a discount at all the resturants and shops. I like to visit the park and start off with viewing some of the feedings that they do. They have many animals from gorillas, alligators, flamingos, bird shows, and many more shows that are really great. For the little ones they have land of the dragons where they have rides for smaller children. they have a huge tree house and a splash area where the kids can play in the water. It is a lot to take in all in 1 day. You can ride all the rides in 1 day, but if the park is busy you will not get to see all the shows.

This is a must for Florida residents. Buy a 1 or 2 year pass and have fun all year round. Once you have paid, it is free parking, free to get in, and discounts on food and purchases. The shows are amazing, and I just love all the animals. I even go on a couple of the smaller rides. The trees, shrubs, and flowers are just beautiful, and I can walk for hours. In the springtime there are big name bands and shows, all included in the price. What a bargain.

I love this amusement park. It has an african theme and there is so much to do! My kids love going to dragon land-the water park. My husband loves the free beer they give out. The rollercoaster are amazing! There are so many animals there and the place is always so clean. Staff is very friendly as well. There are some really great restaurants which are fairly inexpensive. We bought year passes which were less than 100 dollars and go at least once a week. Definitely a great value for the money

Great amusement park for adults and kids! The park is in the north side of Tampa. The prices are average for theme parks, but you can get discount coupons from many different fast-food chains and grocery stores. The lines for rides are not too bad as long as go on a weekday. There is a new roller coaster, Sheikra, that has a vertical drop you have to see to believe.
