Busch Gardens, Tampa?

[A Foolish Mortal]

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in quite a while, so yay! I'm back!

We're going to Busch Gardens for a day during spring break. When I say we, I mean our party, which consists of 2 children, 1 preteen, 3 teens, and 4 parents. Does anyone have any helpful tips or suggestions for our trip? What rides are worth it, and which aren't? Good places to eat, etc. Thanks!

Most of the attraction are great especially if your party enjoys coasters.

The best experience I had in the Park was the Serengeti Safari.

From Busch Gardens Website:

Have you ever wanted to see your reflection in the eyes of a giraffe?

This wild expedition puts you in the center of the action! Discover first-hand just how long a giraffe's tongue is while giving them a leafy snack. You will become immersed in the Serengeti experience as your tour guide shares intriguing information and personal stories about the amazing wildlife.

Be prepared for amazing photo opportunities; this Adventure creates memories that last a lifetime!
