Busch Gardens has had camps for over 20 years, and each year brings something new. This year, one of our new camps is so new, that it's not even on our website. It's called Expedition Africa. And, if you're interested in going with us, there's a phone number to call at the bottom of this article.
Recently the team at the Animal Care Center has taken their skills in the kitchen to a whole new level!
A recent culinary trend for our creative Animal Care team has been using items normally found in our animals' diets (fruits and veggies) -- and presenting them in ways that would please the pickiest of palates. This is a unique form of enrichment for the animals, and it has been lots of fun for our team of animal care specialists and our guests.
Here's your two-part challenge.
Every day at Busch Gardens guests have the opportunity to connect with the natural world we share. Zoo professionals partner with over 2,000 animals to give guests amazing experiences through world class animal exhibits, keeper talks, in-depth exotic veterinary insight, up-close animal encounters, and behind-the-scenes tours. Our hope is that the experiences we're able to provide will inspire guests to help protect the animals they encounter and get involved with wildlife conservation.
Wildlife has long been an inspiration to the world of fashion,
and no matter what the era, each pattern seems to make its appearance.
One of our favorite wild inspirations?
Peacocks!
Without a doubt, Busch Gardens' most well known behind-the-scenes tour is our Serengeti Safari. But did you know that that's only one of MANY special experiences that await guests at Busch Gardens?
Insider Tours, which are 45 minutes long and a small price of $19.95 per person, add HUGE value to any park visit! Plus there are three awesome tours to choose from!
Looking for a unique camp for your adventurous high-schooler this summer? How about a camp that takes advantage of Florida's fantastic flora, fauna, and fun? One accredited by the American Camp Association, led by the best staff around, and based out of a world-class theme park?
Busch Gardens Tampa has been providing amazing camps led by expert educators for over 20 years. But for the second summer in a row, campers entering ninth through twelfth grades will leave camp with more than photos, new friends, and great memories; they’ll have earned school credit too!
I always liked watching the birds in the Kookaburra's Nest. There are so many different animals and behaviors to see. There was only one problem: I didn't know what the names of the species I saw were, which made it nearly impossible for me to learn more about them.
