Our First Family Trip to Busch Gardens Tampa

We spent the day at Busch Gardens Tampa checking out some coasters, animals, and whatever food we could find along the way. The girls took on Iron Gwazi, SheiKra, Tigris, and more while we rated each ride (with mixed opinions). Not everyone agreed on what was “mid” and what was actually good. In between rides, we explored the animal areas, saw everything from flamingos to orangutans to a very loud tiger, and cooled off whenever we could find shade (which this park actually has a lot of). We also tried Tot Topia tots and gave Rita’s a shot, which ended up being one of the highlights of the day. Overall, a mix of thrills, animal encounters, and a few surprises—both good and not so good.
