Real shame the park closed at 05:00 / 17:00 as I could enjoyed plenty of more hours in this marvelous amusement park, but we where lucky enough to hit a quite Monday as there where virtually no line at all, so we got to ride first row over and over again no problem.
We came all the way from Norway with this amusement park as one of our primary goals and BOY it did not disappoint at all.
What can I say that we all don't already know? Busch Gardens is awesome! Had a great time the last night of Hallowscream! Loved riding the big rides in the dark. Looking forward the annual Christmas Town again. They do such a great job of decorating for each seasonal event and transforming the park into a magical wonderland for kids of all ages. I like to fit in 1 to 2 days a month to enjoy Busch Gardens for it's great combination of amusement park and zoo. Always have a good time!
And as last I would say Busch garden is a cleaner and much more exciting park than what Universal has to offer.
And than we have the out of this world thrilling ride named Falcons fury with its 300+ feet and the 90 degree tilt at top giving you a 5 second face down free fall!!! INCREDIBLE.

Fun time and great rides! The park is very well kept and can make you feel like you are in different locales. Food is reasonably prices for theme park fare, but understand that you are going to pay a slight premium. The only issue on my visit is that there was an issue with the Christmas lights in the evening and they did not come on. We did bring up the issue with a customer service rep and they were able to comp us with a 1-day ticket on my next visit. I appreciated that gesture and will surely go back.
Just Wow this park got it all, live, fierce and close by you wild animals. Good food options, excellent bathroom facilities with A/C and extraordinary clean for a park! And of course the insanely fun and extreme rides, I have no easy words to describe how incredible intense yet so silky smooth these rides where! I have never ever in my life experienced these kind of exciting roller coaster with such smooth turns and twist, just a real delight yet frightening experience.
Keep up the good work and find some use for the wooden Rollercoaster space real soon!
Season passes are worth it. Live shows are fun to watch. Rides are great. Animals are awesome. The events that come and go are perfect for family outings. If you plan carefully, you can enjoy each trip stress free and inexpensively.
Love Busch Gardens! We get the annual passes since we live in area and are able to go often. Great variety of rides, cute shows, and of course many animals. They have a few interactive experiences available with some of the animals as well. It does cost extra to take the Jeep Safari out to see wildlife and have the opportunity to offer lettuce to the giraffes- one or two have always walked up to vehicle to partake. Two of the giraffes are expecting babies, and we saw a 1 1/2 month old baby rhino playing around his mom on our visit yesterday. You don't need to spend the extra to go out and see the animals if you just hop on the train that takes you around the wildlife area- just don't always get quite as close but it varies- and of course it's just to observe the animals, not offer food. Great all round experience.
Best regards from Norway
