Great place to go for year round fun and education.
Carol TominagaApril 29, 2016
The rides are great, the price of food isn't bad, had a great time!
James DesjardinsJanuary 19, 2012
Amid all the glitz and glamour of the larger coasters sits Scorpion, a Schwarzkopf designed classic looper opened in 1980, also get your picture taken in front of(and soaked by) SheiKra's water spray

Yesterday I went to Busch gardens with some good friends and we both was so excited to see Madagascar live because I seem it all the commercials and it wasn't good as we thought. It was very short.

Best park ever!!! You need to go to cheetah and sheikra! Best roller coasters in the park! Love it!!!
Catrina Van LengenAugust 5, 2010
Ride Sheikra in the front, no matter how long the line is. Ride Kumba in the very last row. Ride everything at least once, except Scorpion (unless you like whiplash...). If possible, ride Sheikra at n Read more

Nice place to take the family or s/o. Beautiful gardens, nice attractions, cool animals.
Yarayahu JonesDecember 1, 2021
Really fun rides. I just feel sorry for the animals though. They seem depressed.🥺
Sarah DunnMarch 27, 2016
So fun! Do the valet parking - only $15 more and so worth it. Also do the quick queue to skip lines!
TruthorDare.usMay 14, 2011
We dare you to take the Express Railway around the Serengeti Path and see all the animals, follow that up with riding the Congo River Rapids and the Tanganyika Tidal wave and get totally soaked.
Jonmichael ButlerNovember 23, 2018
All of the roller coasters, especially Cheetah and Sheikra

Make sure you visit the kangaroos! They're friendly and lazy enough to get a good photo with.

If you love roller coasters do these three Cheetah Hunt, Sheikra, and Montu. If you do Kumba hands up the whole time.
Stephanie HawleySeptember 2, 2012
If you visit Universal first, be prepared to be disappointed here! Very outdated and the animals look miserable in their very confined spaces. Also, you have to pay extra for the safari ride!
Dan De MarcoMay 14, 2017
What isn't good here great park .. feel the sting...(buzz, buzz) of the scorpion

When riding Sheila, when you come to the first drop; don't look down. You want to look out to see the whole park and Downtown Tampa
Lester DominguezMay 27, 2012
Get the food & park pass best combo I've ever seen in a theme park. You'll def get your moneys worth
J RodriguezDecember 24, 2015
Zoo meets a theme park at Busch Gardens Tampa! Less crowded than universal parks and lines seem to move faster.
Busch GardensOctober 21, 2010
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is the ultimate family adventure park, featuring an unparalleled combination of exotic animal encounters, world-class thrill rides and live entertainment.

Great park, lots to see & do even if you don’t like coasters!
Melay MSeptember 16, 2016
Love shikra, cheetah and falcons fury are the highlight in rides for me
Ms HeleneMarch 11, 2018
Gardens, rides and animals.
Josh WhiteJune 21, 2013
Very cool park. Although there aren't many coasters, the ones they have are outstanding!
Lakia DykesJune 5, 2015
The shows are really good here! I loved the wildlife as well.
Carrie TrieglaffOctober 22, 2010
Our 1 year old loved it - from the animals to the Elmo water park. We all had a great time. Just wish the 'safari' and 'walkabout way' allowed little ones.
Jeanine McAuliffeNovember 8, 2014
UuUmm...what's better than free beer, beer school, and rollercoasters?? Move over Disneyworld..this is the BEST PLACE ON EARTH!!!
Maria LaneNovember 12, 2015
So many amazing rollercoasters. Cheetah Hunt is a must! And try Sheikra in the front row!
Keith ReevesMarch 23, 2012
Cheetah Hunt is awesome. Fast, launch start, sprawling course, nice wait facilities... Great coaster.
Caitlin LawlerFebruary 20, 2015
The Cheetah Hunt is a must ride! A long coaster that makes any wait worth it
Glenda WalterAugust 12, 2012
Bring dollars or quarters unless you aren't carrying anything in your hand. If you are this park requires you to put stuff in 50 cent lockers at each ride.
RakanJune 5, 2017
Loved this place so much, rides, animals, everything was perfect

The collectible cup for soda is a very good deal during hot summer
Shawna JarmolychJune 19, 2013
Best park in Florida. Disney is great for babies, but if you want rides, head to BG!
Paula MadeiraOctober 25, 2017
It is one of the best parks in Orlando for sure!
Ben A.December 27, 2012
Love the staff! Super helpful and way better than any of the Disney Parks.

Great coasters, great shows. Try the red velvet cheesecake at Sultan's Sweets. And they serve Starbucks coffee!
Wolfie.February 27, 2013
Love it here! So much fun! Take 2 days so you can really enjoy it. 9/10
Kate HallDecember 28, 2014
So much fun to visit and very different from VA's where we usually play-but beware on 12.28.14--it's packed!
Brendan ParadisOctober 1, 2010
Try the Montu later in the day. Its lines tend to be the shortest! Also, if your going to the park stop at one of the usf dining halls beforehand for all you can eat to fill up
Lori K.January 31, 2016

Montu, cheetah chase, elephants,tigers craft beer and the hot pretzels .
