You’ll probably have heard of Busch Gardens before, and you may know that it’s one of the biggest attractions Florida has to offer. But you may think it’s all about big rides and if this is the case it is worth delving into what it has to offer in a bit more detail.

You see, Busch Gardens is about far more than just rides. Of course these are extremely popular and for a lot of people they are one of the best highlights of the venue. But if you love animals and seeing them up close you will want to make the most of being able to see all the animals in the park.

There are several specific areas of the park that are devoted to animals. There are also several different ways you can interact with them. One of the biggest areas of Busch Gardens that is home to many different animals is the Serengeti Plain. The Serengeti Railway passes this area and it is one of the nicest ways to sit back and relax as you see more of the area. You can go back and explore it in other ways too of course; a Serengeti Safari is not to be missed but it has to be booked in advance. They are extremely popular as well so make sure you don’t leave it too late to reserve your spot.

In fact Busch Gardens gives you lots of opportunities to go that bit further with your animal experiences. If you want to be a keeper for the day you can do just that if you wish. Again you should book in advance and decide which of the experiences you want to have. The Elephant Keeper Experience is one of the most notable interactions you can have at the park – it will certainly give you plenty of memories to go home with!

So you can see that while there are plenty of fast and furious rides at Busch Gardens, you will see a lot more than that if you explore the entire venue. Don’t miss out on some of the best animals in various parts of this superb place.
