Nationally acclaimed roller coaster and amusement park expert Pete Trabucco has released his list of world's Top 12 Amusement Parks. Busch Gardens Tampa and Williamsburg were among the amusement parks listed!

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!

Recently, I got the opportunity to go on my first Serengeti Safari. I’d heard from many of my friends and co-workers that the safari was an experience like no other, but I had no idea what to expect. Here's a recap of my experience.

Several families accompanied me on the safari - both adults and children, all looking forward to this unique adventure.

This January I began working in the Cheetah Hunt Area of the park, and boy was I excited! It was, and still is, a true learning experience. I learned about all the ride’s safety systems, the extensive and sensitive maintenance it required on a daily basis, and even all the brand new technology that Intamin, the ride manufacturer, showcased on our ride; the use of repelling magnets as the main propulsion method.

Are you fascinated by rides and how they operate? Imagine a job where you could be a part of the inner workings of world-class roller coasters.

Busch Gardens can be your one-stop shopping destination this holiday season, offering something for everyone on your gift list. Choose from a variety of unique gifts including adventure camps, up-close animal tours, eco-friendly products, and a memorable evening on the Serengeti Night Safari.
