We love Busch Gardens! It was the highlight of our 2007 trip. Amazing animals, great roller coasters. We ate at the Crown Colony, their "nice" restaurant and had an amazing view of the savannah area. Eating while watching giraffes and gazelles running has to be one of my favorite memories of all time! The prices at the Crown Colony weren't bad, either. I think it was under $25 for the two of us. We went at an off time and got a window seat with a great view.
I like SeaWorld, but I loved BG!
