Hi folks,

My family and I are visiting Orlando June 14 - 29th and will visit a few of the parks including Busch Gardens.

We last visited Busch Gardens way back in 2000 so are well overdue a visit. Could you please give your opinion as to the best days for visiting, what rides are a must and recommend where to eat.

The last time we visited we travelled by coach and did not have much time in the park. This time we shall be doing the driving and will probably visit more than once.

Also, do they have a fireworks display?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
John...

Lucky for you your visit days are within BGTs Summer Nights (June 8 through August 11) when the park closes later and there are fireworks at closing time.

Several great roller coasters (Montu is fantastic) and live shows (Iceploration ice skating stage show is also great) await you. Animal encounters are everywhere. Enjoy.

First have a Great vacation and Thanks for coming to the USA.

Busch is a great park. The newer coaster Cheetah Hunt is pretty good. Montu is a must if you like Inverted coasters. I also enjoy the Rhino Rally – if you get a good driver it is narrated with humor.

Take your time, enjoy the free shows.

BGT is a large park and I have gotten a bit lost because there is so much foliage – it is hard to tell where you are at times.

Go online to see the map of this park..
