With world class rides, colorful stage shows, live music, educational programs, and one of the best zoo experiences around, Busch Gardens has something for everyone. What else can we say but, "highly recommended!"
Busch Gardens - Tampa Bay bills itself as "the ultimate family adventure park." offering an array of fascinating attractions based on exotic encounters with the African continent.
Like other world-famous adventure parks such as King's Island and Cedar Point, Busch Gardens excels in thrilling rides and roller coasters. Busch Garden's Sheikra climbs to an amazing 200 feet,pauses,and then dives 90 degrees...straight down! That's just the first drop. Sheikra also includes a 138 foot dive, a loop, a tunnel and a big splash water surprise.
Busch Gardens sets itself apart by offering one of the country's premier zoos featuring more than 2,000 animal, a train that takes you alongside the animals, a skycar that takes you over the animals and a guided adventure truck safari that takes you through streams and hills and valleys right beside the animals.
We enjoyed the live musical production of “KaTonga: Musical Tales From the Jungle” which takes you on a journey to the heart of Africa in a 35-minute musical celebration of animal folklore and traditional African stories through puppets,folklore,music and African-inspired dance.
Other rides include Kumba,Montu,Gwazi,Cheetah Chase,Air Grover,Scorpion, The Wild Surge,Jungle Flyers,Rhino Rally,Congo River Rapids,Stanley Falls,and theTanganyika Tidal Wave.
The new Sesame Street Safari of Fun offers "a family-friendly African adventure filled with kid-size rides, cool water fun and plenty of memorable adventures" where kids can dip and dive through the desert on the Air Grover junior coaster,climb and play in Elmo’s Tree House, splash and refresh in Bert and Ernie’s water play area and watch their Sesame Street friends in African-inspired shows.
