Busch Gardens questions

[maps]

Hi all

I'm planning a couple of days at BG in Tampa for Feb 08. Have not been there in many years.

Any hotel recommendations? It doesn't have to be right near there. Would hotel near the city or water be nicer?

Do they still have the safari where you get to see/feed the animals?

Do you need more the 1 or 2 days to see it all?

Thanks

there are dozens of nice hotels within a decent proximity to BG. the ones on the water, like the Grand Hyatt, or the ones close to Tampa International are more expensive.

the safari and the train around the Serengeti plain are still there. if you are the front gates at park opening, you can do the park in one day, but be prepared for a lot of walking.

Depending on how fast you go through the park, you can do it in 1 day, but get there early, be first in line and walk fast to the big attractions to beat the crowds. And like the previous poster said, prepare to walk alot....
