Busch Gardens Tampa roller coaster

Experience Wildlife and Wild Rides at Busch Gardens®

Come face-to-face with exotic animals and get your heart pounding on epic roller coasters at Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay.

Home to more than 12,000 animals, Busch Gardens® Tampa Bay is one of the largest zoos in North America. Connect with wildlife as you feed giraffes, kangaroos and flamingos; meet two-toed sloths and aardvarks at Animal Connections; and watch zebras, rhinos and gazelles roam on a 65-acre plain.

The whole family can continue the fun on animal-themed thrill rides. Look a 30,000-pound snake king in its eyes on the spinning Cobra’s Curse. Race like nature’s fastest land animal on Cheetah Hunt—a triple-launch roller coaster. Or soar through the treetops on Jungle Flyers, a kid-friendly zipline where you might spot gibbons and flying foxes passing by.

Round out your day with family-friendly live entertainment including the ice show Turn It Up! and Opening Night Critters, which stars rescued animals.
