    I had an absolutely amazing time at Busch Gardens! The park had an incredible mix of thrilling roller coasters that got my heart racing and fascinating animal exhibits that were both educational and entertaining. The atmosphere was lively, and the live entertainment added an extra layer of fun. I was able to enjoy both adrenaline-pumping rides and learn about animals—all in one place. Definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable and diverse experience!

    Before coming to Tampa, I was attracted to this zoo when I was making a travel guide. Although I feel that most zoos are more childlike and more suitable for parent-child travel, I brought my children to visit on weekends. However, this zoo gives people a good visiting experience. The classification of the zoo is very clear. You can download their map before visiting and follow the map to visit. The animals that can be visited in each area are also clearly marked on the map. I prefer the African area in the zoo. You can also take a small train to visit. It's like traveling through the animation world of the Lion King. The zoo is very interesting. There is also an interactive area in the park where you can feed goats and touch manta rays. It is very suitable for bringing children. There is a restaurant in the zoo. If you are tired, you can order some snacks and continue to play in the afternoon. I stayed in the zoo for a whole day. There are many things to do. It was the first time I saw penguins that could stay outdoors in the zoo. Later, I heard the explanation and learned that this was an African penguin, a penguin that does not need air conditioning. It feels like a zoo that can unlock new knowledge.

    📍Detailed address: 401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602 🚗Transportation strategy: Walk from Tampa downtown, about 15 minutes 🕙Opening hours: The stadium is free to visit, but tickets are required for the games 💰Ticket price: You can check the latest game schedule on the official website, and there will be pricing. The price of tickets for each game is different, so you need to check online 🌟Highlights: On the way to the stadium, I visited this Tampa stadium. The appearance of the stadium is very shocking. When there are no games, there are few visitors in the exhibition hall. Many famous ball games have been held here, and the area will be very lively. The stadium is in the city center of Tampa, and there is an aquarium and the central station next to it. You can walk around nearby and follow the sea all the way. The scenery is also beautiful
