Well, it does say "Gardens" right in the name. What did you expect?

Another reason why they call it Busch Garden is because Florida is such a garden place cause water in a plants will make the plants more stronger so yeah now you know the second reason

I used to take my daughter here all the time and when we went on that ride, it didn’t look nothing like that shaking my head

they shut that ride down. it's being rebuilt. and the whole park is pretty nice now. I have been there a few times in the last 3 yrs. now as far as the water parks they are horrible. very disgusting not very friendly service and the food is over priced. it's not even worth half of what they charge
