Interesting, attractive with very knowledgable staff working with animals. Uncomfortable transportation with no seats and no protection from very strong sun.No water available .

We took our 5 year old girl and she had a blast. The giraffes coming right in to the truck and eating out of our hands was definitely the highlight!

A neat perspective to get up close and personal to exotic zoo animals. The giraffes are looking for their favorite food...lettuce! A look at hippos, lions, hyenas and rhinos.

Moms with teenagers trip, in January in the off season, no lines, bought our tickets at AAA office in Tampa, our ticket included one meal for 74.99, which is a good deal. Rides were all working, saw three shows, very entertaining, food and beverage average prices, parking safe with a shuttle to front gates. Lots of groups of teenagers maybe... More

Also a... More

On New Year's Day we had a warm Christmas experience and minimal lines. The shows were nearly full, and well done. The food was reasonably priced and different from the typical theme park fare, offering a wide selection, and easy on the taste buds. We stayed at the dining area for the show scheduled for a few minutes later, but... More

Whilst on a driving holiday around Florida we followed advice from some locals and decided to visit Busch Gardens, a day they told us we would greatly enjoy. They weren't wrong. It proved to be a fascinating day with much to see and do in such, it proved to be a such short time (6 hours). From the hair-raising rides,... More

The highlight is totally the giraffes! Thats kind of obvious. But its still a much better trip than the kilamanjaro safari at Disney World. Its way more interactive and very fun!! You can bring your camera on the truck bed (WHERE YOU STAND THE WHOLE TRIP) and they will try to make you buy their pictures but you really dont... More
