Busch Gardens is a large family-friendly animal park in Tampa Bay in Florida, part of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment and home to over 200 species of animals. From the most beloved to the critically endangered, Busch Gardens includes animals from all over the world in its conservation efforts. They support programmes such as the non-profit Rising Tide Conservation in Nairobi, which helps researchers find alternative methods to collecting species from the wild by investigating ways to breed fish internally.
As a result of its extensive animal welfare programmes and wholly naturalistic habitats, Busch Gardens has achieved the Humane Certified seal from American Humane, the world’s largest approver of animal welfare. Named one of the best zoos in the country, Busch Gardens continues to serve the animal and human community in every way it can.

What are the highlights of Busch Gardens in Tampa?
Busch Gardens has a fantastic selection of rides and other activities. Serengeti Express is a popular train ride through the Serengeti exhibit. Rollercoasters such as Tigris, Cobra’s Curse, Sheikra, Montu, Kumba, Scorpion, and Sandserpent bring visitors to soaring heights. Tigris has forward and backward stops with heart-stopping drops. Cobra’s Curse and Sandserpent have consecutive winding loops. Montu and Scorpion are inverted rollercoasters. Kumba was named for being as loud as the roar of a lion. Sheikra includes an intense 90-degree angle drop.
For a calmer yet enjoyable experience, Air Grover is a Sesame Street-themed playground area for children. Open viewing of animals and their care is also available at the state-of-the-art Animal Care Centre. Guided tours allow you to view the animals even closer. These should be booked in advance and include Serengeti Safari, Keeper For A Day, and Animal Ambassador Insider.
