Busch Gardens Theme Park

Busch Gardens takes great pride in their animal care and conservation efforts. The park cares for more than 12,000 animals and showcases species such as cheetahs, rhinos, gorillas and elephants. You’re welcome to ride along on safari excursions, featuring feeding opportunities and up-close encounters – all within a faithful recreation of the animals’ own natural habitat.

The Serengeti Safari is a popular park attraction, providing you with the unique opportunity to visit the wide-open wilderness. Here, you can watch hundreds of animals roam free in a 26-hectare habitat. The bird garden is a free-flight aviary featuring more than 500 tropical birds from around the globe. Busch Gardens is also home to the Animal Care Center. This state-of-the-art facility conducts animal care in full guest view, including feedings, treatments, X-rays and even surgeries.

Dining at Busch Gardens

Busch Gardens offers a dining variety to satisfy even the pickiest eater. From elegant sit-down meals and delicious desserts to grab-and-go sandwiches and numerous snack kiosks, the park has dining fully covered. The Serengeti Overlook Pub is a guest favorite, offering oven-baked pizza, fresh salads and a wide variety of sandwiches. Guests 21 and older can also enjoy a safari-themed cocktail at the fully stocked bar. Zagora Café is also a popular choice, offering grilled hamburgers, fajita wraps and healthy meal options. For dining with a view, check out the Garden Gate Café – this lakeside restaurant offers craft brews, specialty wines and a full sit-down menu.

Spending a day at Busch Gardens is a must for any theme park lover. Considered one of the best theme parks in Florida, Busch Gardens welcomes over 4 million people annually. There’s a Quick-Queue ticket available, much like the Disney and Universal counterparts, allowing you to bypass the regular attraction wait times. They also offer all-day dining, allowing 1 entrée, dessert and beverage once per hour.
