About Busch Gardens

 About The ParkJust over an hour west of SeaWorld Orlando near Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast, you'll find yourself on the edge of Africa at Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay. Visit the TampaBay360 page for the best coupons for Busch Gardens.
Experience up-close encounters with amazing animals, take an unforgettable safari across the Serengeti Plains, test your courage on pulse-pounding roller coasters, take in a stage show, and colorful live entertainment all year long.

Welcome to Jungala
Jump into the jungle at Jungala. Get face-to-face with orangutans. Test your strength in a wild game of tug-of-war with a tiger: any guess who will win?
Explore the layers of the jungle in a three-story play area of mazes, ropes and crawl tubes. And kids can soar above the treetops on a zip line.

It's the only jungle in the world that plays with you!
 
Thrill seekers step forward
If you're looking for thrills, challenge our incredible, floor-less dive coaster, SheiKra: 200 feet up, 90 degrees straight down.
Take on the mighty Gwazi: a colossal wooden coaster with a record-breaking six fly-bys and crossing speeds of 100 miles an hour. 

"If you love animals and roller coasters, this park is for you! Wonderfully done African theming makes you feel like you're not even in Florida anymore! There is so much to do here, you must plan a multi-day trip!!"   Matthew B., Odessa,
