Overview

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a 335-acre African-themed adventure park in Tampa, Florida, bringing together world-class thrill rides and one of North America's largest zoos in a single destination. Home to over 12,000 animals across 250+ species, the park lets guests explore immersive habitats inspired by the African continent — from the sprawling Serengeti Plain, where giraffes, zebras, and rhinos roam freely, to close-up encounters with penguins, sharks, and dolphins.

For thrill-seekers, Busch Gardens is known as Florida's "Coaster Capital," featuring a lineup of record-breaking rides including Iron Gwazi (North America's tallest hybrid coaster), SheiKra, Montu, Cheetah Hunt, and Falcon's Fury — a 335-foot free-fall drop tower. Families with younger children can enjoy Sesame Street® Safari of Fun and the newly opened Wild Oasis adventure realm, while 2026 brings the debut of Lion & Hyena Ridge, the park's most significant new habitat in over a decade.

Beyond rides and animals, the park offers live shows, themed dining, seasonal events, and optional add-on experiences such as the Serengeti Safari for guests wanting an even closer wildlife encounter.
