Orlando theme parks and the surrounding area

My family and I have stayed in Orlando for the last three years and we have been to every park there is. We have been to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Universal, and even Gatorland and we wanted to try something new.

After talking it over with my husband and kids we decided to take our love for thrills and theme parks to Tampa so we hopped in our rental and drove to Busch Gardens. Unexpectedly, but fortunately, the drive only took us 50 minutes from the Ginn property.

Busch Gardens was great! They had something for all of us. My two oldest loved all the fast roller coasters like the Kumba, Montu (your feet dangle), Gwazi, and the newest addition SheiKra (a “dive” coaster, meaning it goes straight down!). As for my youngest, she had a blast on the Gondola that hung high above zebras, giraffes, and even antelope that grazed in Busch Gardens man made savannah.

In all honesty, I would say Busch Gardens is up there with any Orlando attraction as far as thrills, entertainment, food, and fun go.
