Busch Gardens Tampa Touring/Food Plan

[cruisnfamily]

Thinking of doing Busch Gardens for the first time in 20 years and need lots of help. 2 50 year old adults, no kids.

What time of year is best to go? What day of the week?

What is there to do if we are not doing the coasters?
We're not big roller coaster people...could ride them as long as they are not the kind that make you sick to your stomach. I got queasy on expedition everest and it ruined the rest of my day so I am leanign towards not doing coasters at all.

What kind of food is there? Both counter service and sit down I imagine? What is the best? Any "deals" or things to know about?

Basically any info you care to share about Busch Gardens would be appreciated! Thanks!

I would suggest checking out the Busch Gardens website because a lot of the information you're looking for regarding dining and attractions can be found on there.

Busch Gardens doesn't really have any table service restaurants. It's pretty much all quick/counter service meals. We really like the Zambia Smokehouse for dinner though.

If you're not really interested in doing the rides then I would suggest just taking your time checking out the animals exhibits or maybe doing one of the add on animal tours. They also have a few shows there like the Ice Skating show that you could do instead.
