Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an African-themed theme park and zoo in Tampa, Florida, combining more than 50 rides, shows, and attractions with one of America’s most highly accredited animal collections, home to over 200 species.
The park is known for its thrill coasters, including SheiKra, Iron Gwazi, Cheetah Hunt, Kumba, and Montu, alongside safari-style animal encounters, live entertainment, and seasonal events. More than a dozen dining outposts serve everything from quick bites to sit-down meals.
Because the park mixes coasters, wildlife exhibits, and shows across a large footprint, many visitors plan a full day, or even two, to comfortably experience the major rides and animal areas without rushing.
