Busch Gardens

Tampa, Florida

Tampa Bay, Florida, is home to Busch Gardens Africa, the amazing, safari-themed park like none other in the world. Here you can visit the famous Budweiser clydsdales, take a self-guided walking tour through the Edge of Africa, including a look at the amazing animals you would find there, and even experience the wildlife along the Serengetti Plain. Besides this, Busch Gardens boasts some of the most thrilling rides in the country such as a giant double wooden roller coaster, the high speed, 360-degree looping Scorpion, and Sheikra, the world’s first 90-degree dive coaster, now floorless and even more thrilling than before. Tampa is only about an hour and a half from Orlando, and it’s a great addition to Orlando student tours.
