All-New Wild Oasis at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: A Tropical Escape for the Whole Family
Families with kids will be eager to experience Wild Oasis which is located centrally in Jungala and will open this summer. This marks years of great excitement for kids as it features a new immersive realm based off plush rainforests that includes interactive animal encounters, state of the art rides, and hand on play zones.
Children of all ages will undoubtedly enjoy the various attractions such as Tree Top Drop, mini free-fall rides, climbing structures, shaded play areas, and even splash pads to cool down after an adventure. The realm is also equipped for budding explorers offering an onsite scavenger hunt to spark imagination for curious minds.
Summer days can be filled with wonderful family adventures with ingenious construction of the various attractions, room to freely roam, and robust areas to learn on the go.
Summer Nights After Dark: Where Drones Dance, Fireworks Explode, and BMX Riders Fly
When the sun goes down, Busch Gardens literally lights up the sky. Wild Skies, a new awe-inducing nighttime drone show, premieres for 2024. To cap off the show, an exquisite fireworks display is set off, stunning audience members. The show features dozens of drones that synchronize to a film-worthy soundtrack while setting the skyline aglow with elaborate patterns.
Before the night sky takes over, Moto-Motion, a brand new indoor stunt show, has guests revving their engines in excitement at the Stanleyville Theater . With adrenaline-pumping BMX and motocross tricks, the high-octane production is paired with choreographed lights and heart-thumping music. The action is unrelenting and furious, grabbing hold of spectators. Since the event is indoors, it is a perfect way to cool off without missing out on high levels of entertainment.
Free Beer Returns to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay – Here’s How to Get Yours
Foodies and drink enthusiasts will have more to enjoy with the new Summer Nights addition featuring two new offerings. From within Wild Oasis, TOMA at Orang Café brings a Boston Latin flair to the park with fast, fresh fare and shaded seating over the orangutan habitat.
In the meantime, craft cocktails, draft beer, and especially seasonal beverages designed to cool down the heat are offered at the outdoor bar near Zagora Café, Casbar. It is a full-service bar with all the blend drinks one may desire.
Of course, the fan-favorite FREE beer offer returns starting May 23. Every guest 21 and over can redeem one complimentary brew from 10:30 a.m. until one hour before park close. Pass Members enjoy the perk twice with two free beers per visit.
As always, tickets are readily available online alongside details for Summer Nights, park hours, and Pass Member perks.
