SeaWorld or Busch Gardens?

[derncare]

We are going to Disney for 6 days the week after Thanksgiving. We're also going to Discovery Cove one day to swim with the dolphins. With our Discovery Cove package, we get free entry into either Busch Gardens or SeaWorld and I am having a TERRIBLE time deciding on which one to go to. I have changed my mind back and forth several times.

We live in Houston and so have been so SeaWorld San Antonio. We have never been to Busch Gardens. We are going with me, my husband, my son who is scared of any thrill rides and will be 8 at the time, my daughter who will be 4, my Aunt, my Uncle, and their 12 year old twins who like thrill rides. I kinda want to do Busch Gardens because we have never been but is there alot to do there if you aren't into thrill rides? My Aunt kinda wants to do SeaWorld even though we have done it in San Antonio as she says that she heard that SeaWorld Orlando is the best one.

Advice?

The 12 year olds will really enjoy Busch Gardens. The thrill rides are really good, Sheikra is the scariest ride I have been on, just thinking about it gives me butterflies. However it might not be as fun for the 8 and 4 year old,neither of them would even be tall enough to go on the big roller coasters even if the did want to. The childrens' section leaves a bit to be desired. The theme of the park is okay its not Disney but its neat.

My vote is for Busch Gardens

My vote would be Seaworld however as you have already been to one Seaworld I can understand your dilemma


For me though Busch Gardens was a decent day out when we went 20 something years ago Disneys AK kind of fills that bill for us now when we have a limited time - though we have no Seaworld equivalent.

And that probably doesnt help! Sorry!
