A question about Busch Gardens Tampa...

[sherry7]

Hello all. I know this isn't a Busch Gardens board, but since Busch Gardens is affiliated with IOA/US/SW on the Flex Ticket, I thought I'd pose the question here.

How many days does it take to "properly" do Busch Gardens? We'll be going in the latter part of MLK day week, so crowds should be lower. Should we plan on 1 or 2 days for BG?

Thanks!

One should do it.

One day you can see most of the attractions, although if you want to see absolutely everything, 2 days may be better.

They do offer a form of Express pass now..

Something like $30..

We went a couple of weekends ago,and man was it PACKED.we barely got to ride anything.Shiekra had a wate time of 90min...

If your big coaster fans,wate till you get there to see the crowd level.If it takes 20min to get through the turnstiles,you may want to purchase this!!

The park can get busy, but if you get there at opening, one day should be all you need.

Thanks for the advice everyone. If we decide to go, I'll plan 1 day and make sure we get there early.

We were there in August 2007 and found to really see/do everything we needed 2 days (actually more like a day and half but the kids had fun re-riding their favorite coasters). We got the park at opening and managed to get quite a bit in the first couple of hours, but as the day went on the lines started getting longer. We stayed until park closing on the 1st day and on the 2nd left around 6 pm.
