has anyone been to busch gardens and adventure island. I looked at the sea world web site and they had some fabulous combo annual passes in combinations with busch gardens and adventure island. If you can believe it . The annual passes were payable in ez pay payments paying monthly --valid from day of initial payment-- .Is it worth it! Is the travel time worth?

Just curious. Sometimes kids would like something new.
 
We've been to Busch Gardens several times and really enjoy it. There's something for everyone and if you enjoy thrill rides then this is the park for you. It takes about an hour or so to get there but we feel it's worth it.

It's more aimed at adults and older children - you need to be 52" tall to ride the biggies.
 
I just got a two year Busch Garden/Sea World pass with the ez payment. Went over to Busch Gardens about two weeks ago for my first trip ever and I loved it. I have some great pictures of the animals. The rides are not for little kids as thrill rides make up a good number of what is available, but there was a small area of just childrens rides and stuff.

If you haven't checked out Busch Gardens web site, I would suggest that you do that. I did before I went and it gave me a great overview of the rides, shows, and everything.
 

We went to Busch in 2001 and weren't impressed. Perhaps becuase it was a quiet time many of the staff were running more than one ride (they are grouped together sometimes) and if they were running a different one to the one you wanted you were told that it wasn't currently open try again later! Maybe we were unlucky but we won't be bothering this time around.
 
We always make sure we visit Busch Gardens during any visit to Orlando.

The rides are awesome especially Montu and Kumba, although obviously it depends on whether you are taking children or not, because this could affect your enjoyment of the day.

I have also just learnt of a new 4D show opening at Busch on the 31st May, something I wasn't aware of.

The animals are fantastic as well.

I can't wait to go back, it's only an hour down the road.

Is the animal part just as good as AK? We have 2 dd's that won't be tall enough to ride rides & if all they can do is enjoy the animals, I don't think it will be worth the $220.00 for my family to go. We are spending 5 days at WDW also. Thanks!

In my opinion you'll probably be better off sticking to AK, the animal part is good at Busch but Disney do it better.

For us though the combination of thrill rides and animal interaction makes BG a winner.

I can't wait to return again!!!
