Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Busch Gardens is a wildly popular Tampa theme park that features 10 African zones, each with its own animal encounters, rides and roller coasters, and shows and entertainment. The best approach to the park is to plan ahead choosing must-see shows and favorite animals and rides before arriving at the park. For example, Egypt zone has an 80-foot snake animal encounter and Montu roller coaster – the world’s longest and tallest inverted coaster. Serengeti Plain has hundreds of animals, a train, a gondola, and an up-close animal experience from a safari truck. Vacationers will want to check the website for upcoming events as well. Children under three are free.
