Tampa
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Thrill rides, animal experiences and a full theme-park day without leaving Tampa.
Why Go
Busch Gardens blends serious thrill coasters with one of North America's larger zoos — over 200 species alongside record-setting rides. Guests move between adrenaline and safari-style animal encounters, live shows and themed dining all within one park, which makes it work equally well for thrill-seekers and families on the same trip.
What to Expect
This is a full destination day, not a stop to work into a broader itinerary — the park rewards arriving near opening and pacing between the ride side and the animal side. Current major coasters include Iron Gwazi, SheiKra, Montu, Kumba and Cheetah Hunt.
MAX Insider Tip — Adventure Island sits right next door — if the season lines up, the two can be combined into one North Tampa day.
