Want a more vivid picture of the experience? Imagine this: you're screaming down a 200-foot drop on Iron Gwazi, feeling the wind whip past you at 76 mph, then just moments later, you're gazing into the eyes of a majestic tiger in Jungala. That's the magic here. With over 300 species of animals and a jaw-dropping collection of 10 coasters (including the iconic Cheetah Hunt), it's a place that ignites your adrenaline and sparks your curiosity in equal measure. It's a place that sticks with you — forever!

More than just the rides and animals, this place captivates you with seasonal events that transform the park – like the festive glow of Christmas Town. Just across the street, Adventure Island water park adds another layer of fun for those hot Florida days. In short, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a place that understands the power of combining excitement with genuine connection, making it a truly unique and unforgettable destination!

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a family destination and requires that guests wear appropriate clothing while in the park. Shirts, skirts, or pants (including jeans or shorts) and shoes must be worn at all times. Costumes and masks are not permitted in the park. In addition, face painting is not permitted on any guests unless it is done by park artists

Nearly 5,000 spaces are available for vehicles. Buy a parking pass in advance here to save!

The air-conditioned facility is staffed from park open until park close, and the cost is $25.00 per day ($10.00 for Pass Members, excluding Fun Card holders). Park guests are required to bring pet food and to walk their pets during the day. You may bring a blanket for the pet's comfort, and a current shot record and rabies tag is required
