Busch Gardens - Tampa

Busch Gardens - Tampa

This was our first trip to Jungala at Busch Gardens. Kids and adults are free to explore this wonderful habitat. It is AMAZING! I highly suggest reviewing the Accessibility Guide for Busch Gardens before going (more about that later).

Jungala has a huge interactive playground and a great water play area (Make sure to take swim trunks and a towel.) The play area has a habitat for the animals all around it. You can look through glass to see tigers by the window and crawl through a tunnel to see fish and an alligator.

Munchkin’s favorite part was the games. When you play the games in Jungala, you are guaranteed to win a small prize. We spent a few hours just wandering around Jungala and he loved it. Before we went he was scared of tigers and now he is in love with them.

Busch Gardens is the least service dog friendly place we have been to as the dog can not go on any rides and must be kept back a distance from all attractions. They also have a virtual queue policy that is only available on select rides. From their site

“The pass issued will include a time for you to return that is calculated by adding the actual waiting time for the ride to the current time. Upon returning, you and up to three members of your party will be invited to board the ride without further waiting.”
