Not to close to Orlando

General Comments
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a large park with many water stops, shops and restaurants, well designed, our party of 10 were in the age range 10 - 65. If you can afford it get a personal tour. No waiting at every ride, seated first at the front for all shows with dinner and safari included plus a member of staff escorts you round (I think we got our moneys worth of free chilled bottled water alone) For rollercoaster fans try the old wooden ride, it is simply terrifying and makes the new 'scary' rides look quite tame.

Journey time from Orlando, about 70 minutes eats into your day, best advice is to get up well rested after a day off and get there early to enjoy the whole day
