Busch Gardens
Busch Gardens is a massive zoo-come-theme park, which predates
Florida’s more famous Walt Disney World and offers an equally
exciting and entertaining experience for visitors. The park is
based on an overall African theme, divided into eight different
areas with thousands of animals living in naturalistic
environments. The site also contains thrill rides, live
entertainment venues, shops and restaurants, all easily viewed from
above from the Skyride cable car that crosses the park. In one day
it is possible to visit Tutankhamen’s Tomb in Egypt, cross
the plains of the Serengeti and watch snake charmers in a Moroccan
sultan’s tent.
