There's a new dining experience at Busch Gardens Tampa: The Royal Treatment with King Julien. Enjoy an all-you-care-to-eat Lunch with your family at the Zambia Smokehouse. Then it’s over to Stanleyville Theater with King Julien himself.

We know our Busch Gardens Tampa guests and pass members are very active on social media. After all, it's the best way to share great photos -- especially those of our cute animals! We've created these Mothers' Day images for you to do just that: Share! If you're on Pinterest, pin these images to your pin boards and share the Mothers' Day love. Happy Mothers' Day from Busch Gardens Tampa!
