About this activity

Tampa Busch Gardens is 335 acres of thrilling, fun, educational and entertaining adventure park which makes a great day out for the entire family. Sounds pretty awesome!

What makes Busch Gardens great is the variety of attractions - it's perfect for the WHOLE family!.

It’s a theme park, zoo, safari, and show all rolled into one.

For the not so faint at heart, you could challenge yourself on Falcon’s Fury - the tallest freestanding drop tower in North America, or take on Montu - the inverted roller coaster with a 60 foot vertical loop.  Are you feeling BRAVE!?

For those little tots in the group there is “A Is For Africa” - a colorful and fun musical performance that brings imagination to life, and for the slightly older audience there is “Iceploration - a 30 minute skating show featuring incredible costumes and dazzling puppets that encourages children to put down their smartphones and enjoy life! 

For the whole family there are incredible experiences to be had in the open-air tours across the wild African Plain.  Here you can get up close to stunning creatures such as zebras and giraffes, where you will learn about their nature, habitat, and life in Africa. 

If your family prefer the more majestic yet menacing creatures of Africa you can embark on a (very safe!) walking safari and encounter animals such as hippos, lions and hyenas in naturalistic habitats.  Don’t forget to ask about the lion cubs!

Busch Gardens is a great and fun way for the children to learn about some of the beautiful and endangered animals we are lucky enough to have on this Earth, as well as enjoy the fast paced rides within the park.  If you want a truly unique experience ask about the sleepovers!
