Went on a Tuesday mid July. Park was fairly busy but literally everything was shut down. It rained for a bit but other than that it was just cloudy but they kept the rides and games closed anyways. I was there for 4 hours and got to ride 1 ride and play 1 game, the rest of the time was us walking around the park trying to find something to do. The animal exhibits were cool though, animals were very active. Don’t get the all day dining. It only works for certain restaurants and their food is sub par at best since it seems it’s not very organized in terms of making it and getting it out. I got chicken tenders and fries and it made me almost puke (I hate saying this because I know it’s an amusement park, but this was just bad). The one ride I rode was fun though, it was the new iron coaster and was a lot of fun. Line went by at a decent pace and the ride itself was fun. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed it. Honestly, just save your money and go to universal or somewhere else. $300 to waste that I can’t get a refund on!

We really enjoyed the park, there was so much to do we were a group with kids between 3 and 12 years old and at any time it was a problem since they have such a great variety of interests. From Elmo to Sheikra there was something for everyone to enjoy, make sure to get the popcorn and the refillable soda it would make your day go smoothly. Beside all the rides you can also enjoy a beautiful ride on the train around the park and see all the animals.

This is my first time at this location. I was very surprised to find that not only does the park have rides and attractions but it also has a grief focus on wild animals. There is an Animal Care Center that you can enter and at times there will be a veterinarian taking care of an animal. There are exam rooms that have clear glass in front of them so that you can observe what the doctor does with the animals. The park seems to be well-designed for families. I would recommend this place if you want thrill rides animals and family fun!

Our visit was on Groundhog Day, lucky us, six more weeks of cooler weather. Great day to stroll this amazing theme park. Animals appeared to be more active today than in the heat of summer.
Wonderful wildlife (caged or fenced in) viewing areas throughout the park. Many thrill rides and children areas. A very nice train ride where you can see many different animals. Train has wheelchair access on board. A variety of dining options; somewhat pricey. Lunch for two, Chicken Tenders / Fries / two drinks can set you back over $30. There is 10% off food, 20% off merchandise with annual pass. Check web site as prices and offers may change.
Many of the attraction and shows were closed due to maintenance or health concerns. Just the same, a very enjoyable day out with family.
Park is clean and staff are polite and pleasant.
Recommended checking website for prices, events, and times before showing up in the parking lot.
You can't bring in food. But we bring a cooler with us and pack sandwiches and snacks and leave it in the car, then get an armband to leave the park, go to your car and eat then go back in.
Some rides will let you hold your stuff, some won't let you bring anything. Personally,, there are lockers by every major ride. Buy the one that you can move around the park for the day. 6 bucks I think. The screen will say 30$, but continue on and the price changes.
They will have some special event in the farewell of the year 2017
Cheryl Rios | Aug 27, 2018
Alejandro Rojas | Aug 27, 2018
Currently in the park there is a Christmas event called Christmas Town. It will be until December 31st. There is live music, show lights, food, drinks, among other things.
As an employee, I saw many people wearing go Pros with a chest mounted harness. I am pretty sure that's the only way you would be allowed. No loose cameras.
Just gotta wear a mask all over not just in buildings but other then that it was full capacity full swing a few rides are closed due to covid but 95% are open afternoon gets crowded and lines are long
the sky ride, several restaurants and snack areas, and several other rides are either down for maintenance or covid. I believe their website states which rides are down
They offer Electric Convenience Vehicles and Standard Wheelchairs. You can reserve a wheelchair online $20 and ECV $50. You may be rented at Stroller Rental near the from hate at the park in Morocco. They are available for a nominal fee on a first-come, first-served basis to guests with disabilities.
Yes Get unlimited admission during the initial 12 month commitment and any renewal period, with no blockout dates and more benefits.
$18.33 /mo. for 12 mos.($18.33 due today)
EZpay ?
What is EZpay?
EZpay is an interest-free monthly payment program designed to make it easy for anyone to become a Pass Member at our parks. It is available for Florida residents only (proof of residence required, no PO boxes). EZpay Terms and Conditions
--OR--
$220.00 per pass
They have closed off the cubbies and are asking folks to use lockers. Best thing is to buy the all day locker for $10 and you can transfer your locker throughout the park
There is a guest drop off at the main entrance into the park! You pull in where you see all the charter buses going and there is a specific area to drop people off at!!
You will receive your Parking Pass at the parking booth when you show your Annual Pass. The booth attendant will place the Parking Pass on your windshield and other attendants will direct you to the Preferred Parking area. Once you park, place your Parking Pass inside the car where it is visible. You will then go through a temperature screening area. Be sure to arrive early and have your reservation ticket ready to enter. Have fun!
Busch Gardens is just one park but you can buy tickets for all of the parks associated with them and save money. They are, SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island.
Supposed to be open 10am to 5pm on Thanksgiving day
I have 2 turtles they are about 10 yrs old. They are to big for what I have. The owner left 3 yrs ago and don't want them. Do you have any suggestions on what I can give them to. Would you take them
Martha Howell | Aug 26, 2021
Rusko Coltrane | Aug 26, 2021
Ill take them, sure. What kinda of turtles, and how big are they?
Viviendo el Sueño Americano con Erika Mireles | Aug 26, 2020
Try to open several websites, in some you will find the tickets at $ 99 for 2 days and in others at $ 105 the same for 2 days (Bush gardens and Adventure Island)
Crystal :) I used their website knows very helpful when I ordered all my tickets as well as my fun passes and my elderly electric cart so that's my suggestion don't go to hold or customer service as I like to call it just go on their website and should be able handle everything thanks Hope I was helpful
Yes raining in this area through Saturday morning. Slightly chilly Saturday. Bring your walking shoes. We walked 4 miles and still didn't see the whole park.
Yes, they open basically 365 days a year. But the hours may vary depending on the season and day. You can double check in the Busch Gardens APP or Website.
They have rides for all sizes😊 even for the smallest. The height restriction on falcons fury is 54–77 in (137–196 cm). That's about the same on the other rides.
Yes ,they will always allow water ,and give you refills ,I always bring their refillable container that I've had for 15 years and they still fill it for the discount price ,and my wife fills hers with ice water for free
Is there a first responder, Police discount fir park tickets
Scott arrowood | Aug 27, 2019
Terrill Stanley | Aug 27, 2019
Great question! It looks like the offer for First Responders has expired. Kind of weird but here the link: https://buschgardens.com/tampa/tickets/first-responders/
Unfortunately, it said the same the Williamsburg park as well.
Hello, how much does the entrance cost three minors and two adults?
Maximo Cano | Aug 27, 2019
Jon Reidinger | Aug 27, 2019
Fifty and sixty doleres for two adults and for minors I am not three to five the same. But minors three to five free. The tickets for the year are cheaper.
Minores three to five free. Three years need not ticket. All other people only more or less eighty pains. The calculator (website) has instructions in Spanish. Look at the background. Goodbye friend! You need to pay the "parking".
The park stays open throughout a storm. Some rides may close for safety reasons. Lightning and rollercoaster don't mix very well. Safety is number one throughout all Sea World parks. You can still enjoy shows, great food and the amazing shopping.
I wouldn't know how busy it would be on those dates since I have never been on those particular days but my best guess would be that it should be pretty busy. The nice thing on those days would be the nice cool weather contrary to the weather in the summer, which is very unpredictable and sometimes very rainy.
The parking is $18 per day and I recommend you buying it online or having exact change when you arrive.
Hope I could be of help and have fun.
As long as she can handle the waiting in line then she should be ok. My advice is when you arrive to the park go with her to guest services so the can give you a paper for the return times. What you do is go to each ride and they'll give you a return time to come back and ride that roller coaster
Yes, they have a whole section for families with strollers, in the preferred parking. General parking is $22; preferred parking is $28. We were glad we parked in the preferred parking, it started raining and they suspended shuttle service so either you wait it out or start walking to the car. All of A is handicap and family with strollers, we ended up in B, which was a lot closer than the general parking.
Yes. There is kids park in the park as well. Sesame Street. Rides good for all ages. Safari all around the park. Train ride through the safari is good too. Takes about 40 minutes to do ths train ride.
If you know your card is still valid go to customer service or the front desk and ask for replacement. Don't forget your ID they are pretty good about that. There will be a replacement fee for the card but I can't remember how much it is. Best of luck
Yes you can go for just the animals, however the price of admission is still the same. The animals are throughout the amusement park. They sort of build the rides around the animals. I would suggest two rides to check out if you are interested in just seeing the animals. The skyride like someone else suggested, and the train. On the train you get to see many animals.
Yes, you go to one of the ticket windows up front on the day you want to bring the guest and they give you a one day ticket good for that day. One day admission, not applicable towards fun cards or annual passes.
Generally you can do everything on the busch gardens app but if you have questions that can't be handle there best thing is to call customer service might have to sit on hold for a little bit
I believe under five is free or if you are a Florida resident you can look up the I think it's a VPK or kindergarten pass and they can use it I know until they're at least five
They do have it open now, my family was there yesterday! A few rides look as though they were not operating but majority were and the tree house was fully accessible!
Seein the animals yes is included
The serengeti express train is also included as is one of the park "ride/attraction "
however serengeti safari tour in a open vehicle (up close animal encounter) is not included this must be reserved in advance and pay for it
Rentals start at $85 per their website details from Busch Gardens "Must be at least 16 years of age to rent and operate ECV’s. Recommended weight limit is 500 lbs or more.

No they make it there but you can bring stuff from the store like water and something to eat like chips or something or cookies but as far as the big picnic basket absolutely notno
You can eat all over the park there's areas every where you go. If you like paying 3× the price for food ex. Drink 15 but refills free. Beer 10. All u if you want to spend it
Due to the closing for covid 19 was told season, passes would be extended for the time of closure. My tickets were due to expire on Jan 28, 2021. How much extra time do we have??
Linda Oaks | Aug 26, 2021
Tetiana Sachek | Aug 26, 2021
My friend said that her yearly pass 2020 was extended till March 2021
Why are we smelling pollution/smoke and hearing fire works every night at 9:00pm. We have nursing homes and alot of people with p. T. S. D. And this noise every single night has become to much. Getting a petition.
Tina tankersley / robinson (Tankersley) | Aug 26, 2021
Keri Stanton | Aug 26, 2021
It will be over soon... Busch Gardens does fireworks every night during the holidays.
my family bought 4 fun cards and with each fun pass we bought, we received 1 free guest pass, meaning we have 4 free guest passes,if i wanted to take all 4 of my guest to the park with me would all 4 fun pass members have to attend?
stacyb.123 | Aug 26, 2021
Tony Meudt | Aug 26, 2021
Members have to be with and its from January to March 31st 2021 with black out dates.
How do you get customer service to help you. They make you reserve in advance but we have an illness and need to cancel. Can't get any help online or by phone. Terrible customer service or no customer service.
Donna Plaster | Aug 26, 2021
Lisa | Aug 26, 2021
Maybe you can try asking for help on their website under "contact us".
We are coming Monday Nov 9, 2020 to spend the day in the park. If Hurricane Eta is a problem that day can we echange our tickets for another day? We are from the New Orleans area.
Sandra Kearns | Aug 26, 2021
Nestor Rodriguez | Aug 26, 2021
Sadly due to covid. Their phone lines are limited to answer. Only service desk at the park will be able to answer that.
Are you having an trick or treating thru your park today. 10/30 Would love to bring the kids. And can they were there costume?
Deborah Larry | Aug 26, 2021
sherry Summers | Aug 26, 2021
I would call customer service if I were you to be sure on any questions you have
how much are the tikes of the day
Juan Jose Villamizar | Aug 26, 2021
Glicet Diaz | Aug 26, 2021
It depends on the offer you choose on the Univesal page, it gives you to choose if it is a day or two or three and if you join Universal and Island of Adventures the price changes
Yes the employees tell you to keep it on during the ride. If you pull it down during the ride the employees do not say anything. Just put it up at the end.
I have been trying to cancel my reservation for my tickets plus a scooter rental for 2 days. Signed up for a call back and they never returned my call. I am about to loose $85 for my scooter rental. Won't be going here again.
Well it was a horrible experience I don't advise you to waste your time since they were not ready for opening!!! They were unorganized & understaffed!!! Only two rides were working & no one had a clue as to when the rides were running or how long the wait. After waiting for over an hour & reaching the top, they closed the ride on multiple occasions!!! When we complained to customer service they only offered us a day pass to compensate us for the rain!!!
Can I use my fun card to get into adventure island
nelda oswald | Aug 26, 2020
Kiki FL | Aug 26, 2020
It should say on the card. Some fun cards only include BG, others are for both. It partly depends when you got it. Pre-new year, AI isn't included (its like a 20-30$ upgrade). If issued after Jan 1st, I believe they include both parks.
Are you closed for carona?
Russell Thompson | Aug 26, 2020
Scott Willing | Aug 26, 2020
Yes, starting Monday March 16th
Are we able to use our Sea World festival 2020 food tickets at Busch Gardens due to the closure of Sea World?
I payed $100.00 that was my ticket to get in eats you can eat every hour it was a good deal I did not have a child with me so not sure go to there page it should tell you I love it there
they have a rain guarantee policy found on their FAQ page. it basically says that if rain ruins your day, Busch Gardens will give you a complimentary ticket for one day, available to use within one year.
Pay, I think 39 for the day and you can get a meal which is an entree side, desert and drink every hour....plus you get deals like 2 for 1 on beers....or you can buy the package with alcohol....I don't drink that much so now worth it for me
Can you use wagons for todkkers instead of strollers
Penni Dawson | Aug 26, 2020
Samantha Young | Aug 26, 2020
I was just there yesterday and I saw a family with one of those little red Ryder wagons so I assume it's okay. Ik they have stroller rentals and those are pretty big. Don't remember if they have double strollers, that might just be SeaWorld a long time ago
It would only be a guess, but most bikes tend to be free to park but it would be at your own risk. You will find most people who visit either take the bus or a rental car (hence the lack of bikes) I couldn't see it being an issue but I would call customer services prior. They may have a bike store somewhere.
What's the difference between a Annual pass & a Fun Card?
Roseina Matheson (Rose) | Aug 26, 2020
David | Aug 26, 2020
Fun Card does not include benefits or discounts. An Annual Pass has discounts and benefits. over a year ago. Fun card does not include parking and expire on December 31(regardless on what date you buy it January to November
What time do the food stations close?
Mike White | Aug 26, 2020
Chrissy Butler | Aug 26, 2020
About an hour before the park closes. Some places closes at different times. When you go into the park pick up a park map. That should help. Enjoy!!
Someone know if the policy for 1 free guest on the silver plan its just one ticket or each visit?
Maria Lorena Moreno Marquez | Aug 26, 2020
Margaret Shiver | Aug 26, 2020
Just on ticket I'm afraid. But they offer monthly specials that has included an extra ticket before. Check the website each month and check out what they offer. I Kno in December they are giving pass members a free tiger Christmas ornament so check it out! 😊
Yes you can , anyway you can alwsys doble check block out dates depending on what class of membership you have. Looks like today there is not restrictions
The entrance includes all the shows, attractions and the trian that takes you to see the animals but does not include the private safaei where you feed the animals. If you see them when you walk oh at the attraction.
The entrance of small dogs to the park is allowed.
Elianny Gutiérrez | Aug 27, 2019
Talal Jahlan | Aug 27, 2019
In the website if you searched you will find
With the exception of service animals, pets are not allowed in our theme park or water park.
You may board your pet for the day in our climate controlled kennel located in Busch Gardens' England Parking Lot. Owners are responsible for feeding and walking their pet; our Pet Care Team Members will only provide water throughout the day.
It all depends on what pass you get for the day. It could be from $89 and up. More with the quick que pass which allows you to get on the rides faster instead of waiting for whatever time is posted for the wait time to ride whatever ride you are wanting to get on. Hope this is helpful information that helps you with your question you have
I believe you can possibly switch to the other park but you may have to pay any price difference. Call up the number for guest services and they will direct you better. Good luck. Enjoy the parks!
They have motorized wheel chair. They run about 50 buck a/day and have to call or website to reserve to get 1. We used it for new year eve, have to get it in 2 week or more in advance for holiday season.
Pass Members will receive 1 free guest ticket per 12-month period to your choice of 1 park of membership excluding Discovery Cove. Parking not included on the guest ticket. The Pass Member must be with the guestfor entry to the park.
It depends what days you want to go. Usually on weekends there are more people and the wait is longer or if you just want to visit the park for a certain time then the express pass is recommended. But personally I do not recommend it. Perhaps the most you can expect is an hour.
If you get hotel package can you upgrade passes to annual passes
Patty Cress | Aug 27, 2019
David Escosa | Aug 27, 2019
I'm not sure but they have an immense amount of bundling packages. I would call they are very helpful and I definitely recommend the multi use speed pass. It was worth every penny.
Block out dates do mean that the tickets ARE good except between June 1 and 15th. Read them very close and make sure it is not starting June 1st.through the 15th
Hope this helps
They have an all day dining pass for like 30$ and that will give you a full meal every hour if you'd like so I would think between 50 and $100 would be plenty
Hi Gregg Stafford last year I'd had bought a annual pass and I'd would like to know if I'd get annual pass next month when I'd go to Busch Gardens in Tampa Florida and I am a Florida resident do I'd have to pay down payment again?Do I'd have to pay a down payment?
I think so. Each tic purchased will have a separate barcode. When we went this last time I had all 3 tics on my phone and they just scanned them all as we entered, no name or ID check.
This is not good for your company, there is a white supervisor in your smoke house restaurant that is firing all the black employees, I felt as if you are sick and brought in a doctor note there is no reason to be let go,
The call center isn't always accurate and if you're buying tickets online they might be for adults, like the am day dinning and children under two do not eat free.
Its way better then Disney. But you will still have to pay admission for the park as the tickets dont work for the same park. Seprate places. That should answer your question
Which hotels are partner for Busch Gardens. How far is Busch Gardens from the Norman parathyroid center
Cecila Franklin | Aug 27, 2019
Carla Ann Catallo | Aug 27, 2019
Tampa Inn is across the street from Busch Gdns. Although not affiliated with Busch, it is within walking distance, but you'll want to drive as the park is far inside the entrance. Fairly clean and very cost affordable.
How are your two ambassadors, Cheetah "Kasi" and dog "Matani" doing whose friendship and training began in 2011-2, and is the program still working? Are they available for viewing and ambassador duties?
James H. Mundy IV | Aug 27, 2019
Dalene Klein | Aug 27, 2019
I do not have the knowledge to answer this question.
Phia Holt answered is right but if purchased with a credit card you can make monthly payments. I paid for four ticket 2 adults and 2 for kids 12 and up only 65. 00 dollars printed the tickets and went the same day. Every month my credit card gets charge until it is paid in full Mean while I can enter the theme park.tou can call 1 404 545 5550 the Silver pass does not have any black out date.
Have a silver plan membership and is there black-out on Easter?
Melanie Emala | Aug 27, 2019
Jeff Lohmeier | Aug 27, 2019
When I purchased my silver membership it said no blackout dates for this membership level. I believe you can confirm this on the website or the Busch Gardens app.
Wrong theme park. Busch Gardens has nothing involving Harry Potter. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and other related Harry Potter rides/items can be found at Universal Studios Orlando.
The website has all the information. Due to Florida residency discounts, event prices or if they have a fun pass(pay for the day come back all year long). They do have child discount prices.
https://buschgardens.com/tampa/
The free tickets are blocked out until May. Silver pass gets one free ticket per year but can not use them on block out days. They also get some 50% off tickets which do not have black out days. If she hasn't used her 50% off tickets she can get you in for $56.95 today.
Also, Outside of the roller coasters they have seats to try out before you stand in line to make sure you are comfortable getting into the seat. In the children section there are restrictions on how tall you can be to go into a play area or ride but you will be able to watch your children while they ride or play. There is plenty of things to enjoy for all ages. When you first go into the park make sure you pick up a map and schedule times for the shows. I'm sure they tell you the hight restrictions for the rides. There is a great ice skating show that cools you off on a hot day. They have a comical animal show and have a few singing and dancing shows too.
Just verifying on your website. I am an Honorably Discharged Army Veteran. I took advantage of last year's offer for myself and three family members.
QUESTION: For 2019, are military retirees ineligible to receive up to four free tickets?
Harold Hall | Aug 27, 2019
Jeremy IsMyName | Aug 27, 2019
I would call them. They dont tend to reply here, but maybe someone else can answer here.
Single day tickets are $79 if you purchase online. That is for a full day. The website has no mention of discounted tickets after 4pm. You may want to call the park to inquire about that.
No they are seperate passes. There is a deal going on right now where if you buy a fun pass for 1 than you Also get a fun pass for the other. As for the Annual pass there is a 3$ extra per month fee if you want to include another park to the pass.
How many people can go? How much will it cost four people
Addie A | Aug 27, 2019
APRIL D | Aug 27, 2019
As many people in your group that wants to go can go. It averages about $100 for a single day admission. It was suggested AND advised to me to go online to order the tickets because you can get extras for free and lots of discounts!! My party of 4 went for 1 day with all day eating discounts and only played $222 so look up buschgardenstampa.com for the Tampa busch gardens and you will find the deals
No, because it has a lot of roller coasters but it has a lot of animals. So it is good if you go there with a child but don't go on the roller coaster rides
Do they have a kennel for dogs while you are in the park
Cinderella Sanders | Aug 27, 2019
Derek Anderson | Aug 27, 2019
Yes they do. I must say that I haven't boarded my dog there, but I am sure Fido would be well taken care of. I have never had a problem with a single person on Busch Gardens staff member anywhere in the facilities.
Can a 2 year old go on the train ride? I know you have to be 5 for the safari.
Allison Woodland | Aug 27, 2019
Edwin Vega | Aug 27, 2019
Yes, can ride in the train. In the lap or in the middle not in the corners.
Yes, but to make sure they have one when you go, you can go online and reserve one for the day you need it at least 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, it's first come, first serve and you could get there and not get one.
I purchased ticket online and it the entrance they only scanned the ticket and did not ask for any ID. We still carried our IDs with us but did not had to use anywhere. We got a great deal online, all day dining was great option and was very cheap when purchased online.
You goto guest services or the ticket booth and they can help. Just be sure to have photo ID. and $5.00 replacement fee. They will make another for you.
Sure you should be able to bring in your vaper pens even if it have marijuana in it they will not know they don't have security like walking around the part they only have their people that work there other than that you should be able to bring it
I think there is a section for campers tours buses no. I live within walking distance of Busch Gardens. I think, might be separate section for your buses.
Get on the busch garden page and look for park hours and it will appear. It is possible to change according to the dates, for example on holidays it closes one hour later. December 31 at 1 am.
Last year over the summer they did up to 4 free tickets for veterans. I think they do it once a year over the summer. You have to verify your veteran status online and then you get redirected to print your tickets. It was super simple to do thru their website.
79.99. If you go after the 1st of January. You can get a fun pass it is pay fir a day come back anydays till 2019 of December . I think it my cost 10 or 20 more dollars.
There are designated smoking areas with signs and colored benches for you however the few times I have been there I have seen some people vaping so I'm not sure if that would be against the rules however throughout the whole park you constantly hear them stating that there is designated smoking areas
zagora cafe, Bengal bistro, Zambia smokehouse, Patagonia grill, crown colony cafe, the Zambia smokehouse has 4 different restaurants inside you can choose from
What night's is the Christmas Village open. On Christmas week?
Marian Ritchie | Aug 27, 2019

Are there places in the park to charge my scooter battery if it gets low?
Roberta Kirby | Aug 27, 2019
Rob Parr | Aug 27, 2019
Not sure but they seem to accommodate most every need. Sorry not much help.
Blackout dates for Dec with annual pass?
Kristin Carrick | Aug 27, 2019
Bryn Rose | Aug 27, 2019
Every night starting Nov. 17 through Jan 6, celebrate the holidays with Santa, Rudolph & more. Included with park admission.
It depends on the type of membership you want to cancel. If it is a membership that you pay in installments, you must pay the balance before you can cancel. If you are not a term membership, you can contact the customer service number or at the park entrance.
So guys what’s the way to Landon’s Garden?
AidanRLOW | Aug 27, 2019
Elena Marrero | Aug 27, 2019
I know something about Busch Gardens no Landons Tarden. SORRY
I beleieve they have a rain policy.. side note.. i emailed sea world customer service last week about my ticket prices that I paid.. they were helpful and refunded... they have good customer realtions
Unless you have someone holding it for you, you can't do it. If you get caught skipping or get accused of skipping, you automatically get dismissed from the park and there will be no refunds. My best advice is to use the restroom before getting in line
YES, you may! Baby food is the exception to the NO OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED. You may absolutely take a diaper bag with anything your baby may need. Water, for babies or adults (in a non-disposable water bottle) , is the only beverage allowed in the park. Have fun! (Don't forget your baby's stroller. If you do, you can rent one there. They have single and side-by-side double strollers. )
Yeah Generally there isnt a reason to reserve one unless you are going on a holiday weekend or some type of major event. Otherwise guest services is around the right side after you enter the park and the door is on the right. I think they are like 50$ the last I checked.
When you get here. With internet access you can buy individual park tickets. They may even offer group rate for 8 tickets at once. If you know anyone here that have season pass, they can also get cheap tickets for you.
Service animals cannot be the turned away. Its the law. BG Tampa does have kennels. They are located at the front of the main parking lot, across from the first tram stop. You must bring pet food, walk your pet throughout the day, bring shot records and a current rabbies tag. Cost to use the kennel is $10/day.
Most kids are back in school now. Most groups that go to amusement parks have more kids then adults. Why stay open late when kids have homework and the parents usually have to stay home to help than? They will not make money
So far so good. Keep an eye on your radar/forecast at all times. Always have multiple weather apps as well, simply because Florida has what we call, "Bipolar Weather." In an instant, it could storm like crazy, and in the next 30 min to an hour, the suns shining bright and well. Most of the time, one forecast on one app differs from the other. Mainly focus on the chance of rain, and radar.
You don't want to be 400 feet in the air on a steel track when there's lightning within a 6 mile radius. The weather is just a risk. If there are long and numerous technical faukts with rides then ask at guest services for a refund or gift card.
That is the bad thing about tampa weather during this months. However the park open for long hours. So. Eventually they open the rides after the bad weather clears.
Outside food and drinks are not allowed into the park. Food such as sandwiches, meals, etc. and flavored drinks may not be taken into the park. But if you have a special dietary needs, you had to contact to Guest Relations. Good luck.
Some offers are different, I was at that park with the benefit of someone who can bring people with 50% off during the period of that anual pass, is better if ask directly to Busch Gardens, they answer fast.
Can I get a gift certificate for a family of 4? Also the little ones are 6 and 3 years old what is the cost for 2 children and 2 adults?

I'm not sure on cost. I'm sure you can get a gift certificate. Sorry. We got a deal on group on. Try there first. Also if you Google it. You can find some good deals and packages. That's what we did for our vacation. Good luck
First, never steal backpacks. Second yes you cam leave it in the cubbies next to where you get on the coaster. You don't need to use the lockers. Third bring your own water, it is three dollars for a bottle here. Fourth don't buy food here ever! It is a rip off for any kind of food. Just go to a nearby restaurant then come back in.
You also have the option of purchasing the all day dining pass for 34.99 for adults and 19.99 for children. 79.99 for a ticket for entrance to the park if purchased on line. Or you can buy a pass and all day dining combo for 109.98 on line. Last time i went parking was like $20.00.
If you lost your active fun xard, just go ro guest services and geta new one for a $5 cover charge. Dont forget your ID...we do this all the time for my nieces and nephew.
Hard and soft coolers, glass containers, food such as sandwiches, meals, etc., and flavored drinks cannot be brought into the park. Bottles of water can be brought into the park. Outside food and drinks are not allowed at Busch Gardens.
Yes, free for active duty and veterans plus 3 extra tickets but very limited time. It may already be past. Check out their website but you have to look for veterans benefits which they do not make easy! I just went last week but tickets had ti be used by the 15th. Not sure you can still get them. There di have reduced prices for military all the time.
It can depend on the time of year, they appear to be longer during the summer. At that point it's worth getting a Quick Queue pass, especially if you aren't from around there.
What joke i was put in the wrong line then waited 20min then was asked to walk back around and get back inline after i was told it would be taken care of, and wasnt , but yet they make a scene , this was at cobra curse. Fyi im here every week .
Dont forget the skip pass, it ranges from 40$ and up. You can skip any ride line ( once )with the basic skip which is worth it. Lines can get upwards of 70 to 90 minutes wait time without one. Have fun!!
Each coaster has an average seat which should fit for most weather you're a ten year old ninety pounder or a thirty-five year old two-hundred pound man. Each seat fits for all.

It is $22 for General Parking at the park but you also get a ride from the parking lot to the actual park on the train and it is currently $18.69 to rent a stroller
Biggest mistake coming here. Went to the park on 6/23/18 unfortunately was treated like i was stupid by staff at kenya kanteen staff member gave me sprite since whole park was out of coke and staff thought it was ok to treat people like they are dumb
I was there 4 weeks ago. We chose not to get the ride pass, but we did get the dining pass. It is not worth it if you only plan to eat one meal. We had both lunch and dinner. You get free soft drinks as well, but not at every kiosk. Only at the restaurants and the snack shops. However, if you in need of a drink and are not near one of those locations, you can buy one and get one free. For us, it was worth it because we were there for 10 hours and ate two meals. If you are militarily, past or present, with proper documentation you can get 4 free tickets to Busch Gardens before July 4th. Look at their website for more details.
My job invited a group of teachers, so I dont know how much the entrance to the park, but they do have a GREAT deal, they put on a bracelet that you buy for $ 37.00 and you can eat every one hour and you choose from ALOT of restaurants, 1 Main meal, 2 side dishes, 1 drink and 1 dessert, its amazing, imagine every one hour, it's really really worth buying it for $ 37.00, we eat so much, and had an amazing fun time. For sure Im going back.
Annual pass you pay for every month and allows youbto receive specials on purchases in the park. The fun pass is a one time purchase that only gives you limited access to the park.
Following items are not permitted inside the park:
Weapons, knives, any other type of sharp objects, straws, large hard or coolers and any hazardous items or materials. Any items that a guest presents that security deems unsafe or inappropriate will not be inside the park. There decisions are made on a case by case basis.
Its easy to do it online and then you jist have to go to the self automated stands and pick up the card, and boom, you just skipped that big line of people paying there
There is a 🐕 kennel on site. I noticed it as I got on the tram heading into the park. It was on the right hand side just after the parking lot on the way into the park and before the tram takes you through the tunnel. How to access the kennel area or cost would be more informative to call guest services before you arrive.
$20-General parking for cars, motorcycles, trucks, recreation vehicles and campers. (Free for Annual Pass members)
$26-Preferred parking ($13 for Annual pass members; free for Platinum members). It is subject to availability.
Rock A Doo Wop: 12p; 2p; 4p and 6pm
Opening night critters: 1p; 3p and 5pm.
Turn it up: 3p; 5p; 7p and 9p
Let's play together: 2:30p; 4p; 5:30p
And remember The Summer Nights: May 25 untill August 25.
Yes. They have a limited-time for any U.S. military veterans and retired veterans to receive complimentary admission for themselves and up to three guests to visit any one SeaWorld or Bush Gardens before July 4, 2018. Tickets must be online and redeemed at the park. You must be present with your three guests to be allowed entry. Remember to bring at the park your military ID. Good luck!
You have some options. SeaWorld+Bush Gardens Annual Pass, SeaWorld+Bush Gardens+Aquatica Annual Pass, and
Florida Parks-Two or Three Park Ticket (include 1 day admissions to choice of SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa or Adventure Island Tampa). Good luck!
Till the 3rd of June they are running a special. Currently for starting at 59.00 you can get in for the rest of the year. It is a promotion for their anniversary. So till June 3rd, 59.00 plus taxes per person.
They only close if people are in danger, like hurricanes or tornadoes. Rain or shine the park stays open. Rides close due to high winds and rain but the park remains open because there are many other attractions.
When I went a couple weeks back some of the rides closed whilst the rain was really heavy but as soon as the rain stops they reopens. I guess as they are used to it :)
I don't think so. You can rent the handicap scooter in the same area strollers are rented. I believe the rental area is on your right once you walk into the park. It's in the same area as the gift shop, toward the back of the store.
They determine if they close or not. As for the tickets you go to Guest Relations and they will give you another one for a 2nd visit but you must use it within 30 days. This guarantee is not for Pass Members or Fun Cards. It is only for those with Single or Multi-day tickets.
Park will be open however the rides will be closed in case of lightening. If you day ticket they would give you raincheck, if you purchased quickpass they would refund your money.
This is what it says in the frequently asked questions on the Busch Gardens website: Reprints will be issued at any ticket window or Guest Relations. Adults must present valid government-issued photo identification in order to receive their reprinted Annual Pass or Fun Card. A $5 replacement fee will be assessed for lost or stolen Passes or Fun Cards.
Depending on "rain"... if it is without thunder and lightening.. then your safe. Some rides will stay open like the drop tower, the Cobra course and the Log Flumes. We were there 05-19-18 and it rained from 2pm to close and the rides and some restaurants were still open.
Were you being negligent in where you were walking? Or was another individual (most likely a child) negligent in where they dropped their ice cream? Or is Buach gardens being negligent for not following everyone around with paper towels and brooms to clean up their messes asap? What would you claim if someone else dropped ice cream at your house, another person slipped, and then called it your fault?
There are a lot of different rides. Not just roller coasters. However this place is best known for roller coasters. There are other rides. Some are water rides as well. There is a lot of wildlife as well. You could see that too. So I think I would still enjoy it you decide to go.
The lines at busch gardens are rarely that long except for a few of the more popular rides such as Cobra's Curse and Cheetah Hunt. Quick queue is not needed unless you can only visit once and you want to ride everything.
I agree, I wanted to take my disabled 90 yr old Mother to enjoy day with great granddaughter, but she would have to pay full price. They should change this. Would still make money on food.
I wouldn't recommend riding the high intensity rides with a cast on. They are high quality rides and very smooth but still generate enough G force on the body that I would be concerned about re injury.
Don't remember seeing one when I was there a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately many kiosks / stand were not open. To be honest, I was very disappointed with Busch Gardens.
You can take snacks but not sandwiches (although they'll let you bring in uncrustables). They may take the straws from the juice boxes, it all depends on who checks your bags. I have taken in a soft cooler bag with frozen water bottles and fruit, cheese sticks, uncrustables, granola bars and chips. We only buy food once.
They have lockers inside thru out the park you can pay 6$ for a allday transferable locker and they can be transfered as well. So you can take your belongings from one location to the other thru out the park.
Bush Gardens say: "Many theme park rides incorporate safety systems designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. These systems may place restrictions on the ability of an individual to safety experience the ride".
"Guests of exceptional size may not be accommodated on some of our rides. Larger guests may experience difficulty on Kumba, Montu, Falcon's fury, SheiKra and Cheetah Hunt. Test seats are located at the entrance of these rides and we recommend utilizing these before entering the ride queue". Good luck!. 🙂
Hello, it is super recommended for teenagers. We went with a baucher and the truth is that we had no delays in the queues, 10 or 15 minutes at the most, we went in February!
When redeeming the 2-for-1 Busch Gardens + Adventure Island fun card, do you get separate plastic cards for each park? In other words, once I redeem the physical, plastic fun card at Busch Gardens, can I use that same card at Adventure Island?
Carlo Dionson | Aug 27, 2018

For future reference, I'm answering my own question. Once you redeem your pass, it will say which parks you have access. So, you don't need two separate cards for each park.
DL or State of Florida ID card is what they want. I am not sure what other picture ID you could have that also has your address. Children do not need the picture ID.
Worst experience ever at an amusement park. Waited over 30 min for just the tram to the park of which anout 5 rode right by us “empty” and didn’t stop to pick anyone up. Several people in the line ended up walking away actually. Very poorly managed!!

That's a shame. I enjoyed a lot to be there. The line was so fast, the rides, the expedition.
Around $100, but if you book online you can get some better deals. We booked online and got the all you can eat deal with it for $110 including taxes and service. When normally it would be $130+.
Yes, they're open during that time period. Remember, pay for a day and your entitled to free admission for the rest of the year. Parking is $20 USD. Check their website for current park activities and show times plus the map of the park is very handy for pre-planning your time. Also check any discounts or promotion that may be of interest to you. Have fun.
I agree with Josimar, it is worth renting a car with GPS, a super quiet trip without speaking that there are the best roller coasters, just can not let go.
For visiting other attractions, the City Pass is good, especially for visitors. For locals and those who visit Busch Gardens more than once a year, the annual pass is your choice. It includes free parking. Better choice: Both Busch AND Sea World annual pass!
Don't take the survey at the end. Its confusingly awkward. No one to help you and its a waste of time. They ask you to Number 5 out of 10. When you do that it won't move on with the rest of the survey. Its the dumbest thing ever.
There is a shuttle that takes you to the front entrance. You can either pay for general parking and the distance from the shuttle depends on when you arrive, or you can pay for the "reserved" parking which is closer to the main entrance.
Yes. No problem just print voucher. There are kiosks to the right of the tram drop off that sell tickets using your credit card also. They usually don't have lines.
If you mean the 31st, which is today, yes you can. I did that a couple yesrs ago. But there will be tons of people there. There was a 150 minute wait for Cheetah Hunt.
I have had good days at Busch Gardens and also bad days at Busch Gardens with the staff. One time my daughter had to buy a tampon and needed change for a dollar and at one of the kiosks that you could buy water they refused to give her change for a dollar. So instead I had to purchase a$3 bottle of water just so my daughter didn't bleed all over herself. That was not good customer service and if they won't give out change then maybe they should have change machines near the restrooms
You can go to guest services and they will give you a sheet of paper that you give to people at the entrance of the rides. They will write a time to return to the ride at (which is the same length of the queue). If the queue is less than 15 mins they will just let you straight up the quick queue entrance. The same thing happens when you return to the ride at the given time. You go up the quick queue entrance. I experienced this system with a family member in august and it was really good and even allowed for us to get on more rides than usual.
Your membership expires one year from the day you purchased it. You also can call Busch Gardens and they will tell you. It's usually very easy to get in touch with customer service.
You can only park at the front gate if you are disabled or have small children. Although i would think they would let you drive up to the front to let you pick them up.
The only "log ride" currently available at Busch Gardens Tampa is located in the area of the park called Stanleyville. The ride is named Stanleyville Falls Flume, and takes riders through a short jungle trek that leads to a 40 foot drop at the end.
This is a water ride.
$104.99 is the price solely for the ticket itself. There are all day dining deals that can be purchased for $34.99 per Adult and &19.99 per child. Parking is $20.00 , and the sales tax would be 7%. However, there is currently a discounted offer on buying tickets online via their website, plus you can also buy a single day ticket that will get you admission to both Busch Gardens and Adventure Island through 2018, though it does not come with annual pass member privileges.
If your a Florida resident, you can purchase a annual pass for $17 a month. That includes both Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, and free parking to both parks. And now you can come and go as many times as you please
If your a pass holder then you can get up to 6 guests in up to 50% off. You can buy those tickets before hand online or on the app or at line by the gate, but this may take more time. FYI October pass holders can get 2 guests in for only $30.
